Re: Question about the classification of gen fic:

I generally wouldn't. Unless the pairing is only "non-canon" in the sense of the characters never actually getting together or explicitly acknowledging their feelings, but UST or something was canonically hinted at. But I guess there could be exceptions.

For me, I suppose it depends on the pairing: if the "shippy moments" (if they are explicitly shippy) are say, between members of a juggernaut slash pairing or a highly popular unestablished het pairing, probably avoid it. If the moments are between two supporting/peripheral characters who don't have a big shipper fan following, or between a main character and a supporting character s/he might have had UST with but never canonically got together with, that's fine.

And basically, anything that would cause the author to label it X/Y or classify it as slash/het, even if 95% of the fic has no romantic happenings going on between them, should be avoided too. For example, a 20 chapter fic in which Kirk and Spock or Harry and Hermione are totally un-romantic except for that one scene at the climax in which they kiss or one or both of them acknowledge that their feelings are romantic, even if it doesn't lead to sex or the start of a relationship in the fic, does not really count as "gen."

However, IMO hoyay or ship-tease that's on the same level as the kind of hoyay or ship-tease that would be acceptable in the canon material would count as gen. ;)
