Re: 6
I guess it is hard for me to understand the 'fanfic for the sole reason of putting boy A with boy B,' because I'm the sort who's in it more for the characters, and the fact that they're boy/boy is incidental (sdlfjsdf to tell the truth I sort of missed the warnings about it being slash until, like, the beginning of chapter three *BLUSHBLUSH* of course, being a fan of slash along with most everything else under the sun, I was pretty excited, because I'd rarely ever seen a shounen-ai comic as well done). And I'm also the sort who thinks the 'after-they-hook-up' is just as interesting as the 'while-they're-still-in-denial.' There are a thousand relationship ups-and-downs that I'd love to see explored that probably won't be in canon (meeting the parents, differences in sexual taste, moving in together, issues of 'much ado about nothing;' I love it all).
And yeah; I can understand the feeling of not liking being jossed. I personally don't mind, because I've learned to consider almost everything I write at least vaguely AU anyway, and I entered into fic-writing knowing perfectly well that canon would probably prove plenty of it false. And hell, my favorite HoneySyn fic (the 'what the hell were Jay and Charles up to in the meanwhile') will probably be made AU with the events of chapter six, but hey. What-if scenarios are fun. But I can definitely get why some people wouldn't like it, and there's nothing wrong with that.
No, it's no problem; my response wasn't exactly the most structured, either (in fact it's kind of all-over-the-place sdklfsdf). But I can definitely understand better now, I think. It's a lot easier for me to understand if you're wary of HS fic because of a personal dislike of jossing, etc. (sdlf;lsdf goodness knows I dislike a few things for no other reason than because they just feel wrong to me).
