Re: 173
99% or more of all non-canon shipping in any fandom is inherently OOC fapfodder from chapter 1, word 1. The vast majority of people taking part in shipping shenanigans don't give a good god damn how realistic it is -- they're there for the totes hawt boikissing and surpries buttsecks. People in fandoms where Teh Gay is canon are largely (by no means exclusively, but largely) there for similar reasons.
That means if you're writing fic whose sole purpose is to have Gay Character A and Opposite-Gender Character B do it like they do on the Discovery channel, you're not going to drum up much interest because you're trying to appeal to an audience that just isn't there. On the other hand, if you make a well-written, in-character story about Gay Character A, during which he-or-she happens to have a roll-in-zee-hay with Opposite-Gender Character B, under circumstances and with reasons that are believable for Gay Character A, with equally believable consequences, the part of your audience that IS there because they specifically like the character and canon in question for reasons other than its homosexual content will probably not have a problem with it, and the ones who are only there for the pr0n don't count, as they are doing nothing but proclaiming their ignorance to the world if they want to pick fights over every instance of well-written non-canon fiction that does not conform to their personal fetish.
And if the fandom in question doesn't seem to have a significant following who prioritizes interest in character/canon before interest in Teh Gay, you may want to seek a fandom that attracts a more mature audience.
