Re: Question about the classification of gen fic:

I would say it depends on whether it shifts some kind of central relationship from platonic to romantic. A fic in which Sherlock and John or Bucky and Steve have only a few lines of romance, but the romance is definitely romance, not just an ambiguous "maybe", the fic is still slash.

I think the important distinction though is if that relationship is central to the story. For example if the story is about Steve and Tony and Bruce being friends, and on the side Steve and Bucky have a makeout scene, but the bulk of the story is just about the friendship with no romance, I'd say it's still gen. otoh, if it's about just Steve and Bucky with other characters being minor, and they have a friendship that becomes a romance in the end, then yeah, it's slash.

Yes! That makes sense! This would only really work in fandoms with ensemble casts, though -- some fandoms tightly revolve around just two or three characters, with no way to "phase out" a character into the background.

yeah, I get that. I can only think of one fandom I'm in that has a 3 character cast (Portal), and I like romance in that fandom, so.

That's how it works for me, too.
