Re: What is your definition of Gen fic?

(Anonymous) 2017-07-30 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, that's a bit tricky.

On the one hand, I find it frustrating when people tag fics that are mildly shippy as Gen, because that makes me believe my ship isn't interested in each other in the fic, so I skip it. Whereas I will happily read a fic where my ship is interested in each other but the fic just doesn't really go there with them within the course of the story.

Attraction on the back burner does not equal Gen to me.
Characters aren't attracted to each other is Gen to me.

But on the other hand, I think if two characters are canonically together, then juts having them be together in the fic doesn't, in and of itself, make the fic non-gen. Still, if it's the main characters of the fic that are together, then IMO it's best not to tag is as gen, unless there's very little focus on their relationship at all.
