Re: Question about the classification of gen fic:

I think so too. I mean, there's times I do think it sort of teeters in the middle, where there may be a lot of romance, but the character arc is still evenly balanced between his/her love life and his/her romantic life, so is it really gen or is it just not completely romantic?

But if you have established characters who exist, yet aren't necessarily even the focus, or if they are get little if any romantic screen time, it can still be classified as genfic.

(Here's another question though - what about smut? I've seen people try and pass smut off as gen, but... even though smut doesn't have to be romantic, it is still sexual, right? So wouldn't that not be gen?)

I would definitely say smut is not gen.

The two cases I can think of when smut could be labelled as gen would be a) if it's purely friendshippy sex (as in, friends having no romance but having sex - and believe me, I have yet to see a fic like this) and b) if the smut is not between the characters whom the fic is about. Though that would be a bit weird.
