Eh, I think I get what you mean between the secret itself and comments below, and I relate. I don't object to sex in fic, and I don't have any objection to smutty one-shots existing, I just... wish there were more stories in my fandoms nowadays where there was more than that. (Personally I find reading about sex approximately as interesting as reading, say, reviews of new cars on the market. Not relatable to me, not desirable to me, and thus not interesting to me unless there's something really, really weird being described.)

So a long drawn-out story where there are sex scenes every few chapters, that's great as long as the rest of the plot is also good. I'll take a pass on pure smut though, unless it's a pairing I'm really invested in and really want ANY content for (which is exactly one pairing these days). But that's fine, there are plenty of other fans to give the smut some appreciation. ;)

(And yessss to all the slow burn. If I don't already ship it, MAKE ME BELIEVE it can be shipped and I'm there for it. :D It's what I tend to write too - and how I learned to like Kirk/Spock, when I wrote a lengthy story on request and went "okay yeah, actually I can ship this".)

Seeing this late. I kind of feel bad for OP, I think a lot of people took it as them objecting to anyone ever writing smut. I don't think that's what they meant. (Though I knew as soon as I read this how it would be received.)

(Personally I find reading about sex approximately as interesting as reading, say, reviews of new cars on the market. Not relatable to me, not desirable to me, and thus not interesting to me unless there's something really, really weird being described.)

PERFECT analogy. I have no interest in cars. It doesn't mean I don't like cars. It doesn't mean I'm some Moral Guardian who wants to gatekeep the world. But if all I had to read about was cars, it would get very annoying.

ETA: Also, I respect that people have come to fandom as a safe haven, but there's also this idea in fandom that ALL anyone cares about is porn when for a lot of us, that isn't really true.
