Well, fanfic writers don't need to write the canon love interests as they've already been covered in the original.

The main exceptions are where the canon pairings are badly written and it's like a red flag for fic writers to do better.

Of course they don't need to write them. I'd just like fic where they aren't bastardized as homophobic carictures who get in the way of an author's pet pairing. I'd just like fic where they're there being all supportive and aren't completely written off.

Okay, I was just explaining why it might not be so interesting for fanficers to write canon pairings.

I agree, it's weird if one half of a couple turns out to be a sudden raging homophobe when they were with a (bisexual?) all the time beforehand. I'm guessing this is mostly when the woman is dumped to allow the fandom slash pairing. Why would a (bisexual, at least) man have gone out with a woman like that in the first place? Wouldn't it have put him off her?

As well as being a hateful cliche, it just doesn't make sense in most scenarios.

Same with het couples too, actually. Hell, even in original stuff. I get bored when someone who's in the way of the Intended Twu Wuv suddenly goes evil or is flanderdized beyond belief so the other pairing can happen for real. You can do better than that. Your audience deserves better than that.
