No, you see, love interests are actually fascinating women who fell upon the misfortune of being dreamed up and written by misogynist pigs. But their real selves are awesome and you have to write them awesome in your fanfic.

Male love interests are total props, though. They need to not exist. Don't write about them, and definitely don't make them awesome if you do write about them.

I'm kind of confused as to what this comment is trying to say.

Regardless, here's my two cents on love interests and fanfic.

I have no interest in trying to turn a canon love interest into an interesting female character. Why? Because, in general, I've noticed that these characters get little to no backstory, complex motivations, or character development. With that in mind, I'd honestly rather just write original female characters.

Usually, I find myself slashing because there are two well developed characters with backstories, motivations, and character arcs who have great interactions and onscreen chemistry. They're both interesting characters in their own right and so I like to ship them together. They just happen to both be dudes in the case of slash.
