Notes:

Last day to submit for next week!

Also, if you would, only one secret per comment when you submit please! We delete them as we add them to the post for the day, to minimize accidental repeats, and it's harder to do if we have to remember which secret in a comment we've posted already! Plus, it's easier to get an accurate count that way. Thanks!

33? You might as well have posted a 360x360 image saying TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON YAOI.

I'd like to agree with this secret - really, fandom, whatever happened to friendship? - but I can't. Instead, I've got to agree with everyone who's asked why you're singling slash fans out. Why are you singling slash fans out when het ficcers take close friendships and do exactly the same thing with them? It's perfectly possible for a straight man and a straight woman to be friends without secretly wanting to jump one another's bones, too. This may be a radical idea but if slash bothers you, you could always, I don't know, ignore it?

I don't doubt you feel you have a valid complaint but perhaps House and Wilson weren't the best choice of couple to use to illustrate it, and pointing the finger at one specific group of fans when damn near everyone does it is just asking for potentially wanky comments like this one, sorry to say. Just for that, you get an icon featuring best friends kissing.

Wanky or not, word. Here, have an internet.

This was well written, and contains very little snark for a 'wank' comment.

Or, in short - IAWTC. (Real short.)
Couldn't have expressed it better.

This is very true. And I tend to be a het shipper more than a slash shipper, but the same rules apply. So... um, you said it better than I could have! In short: IAWTC!

Exactly.

I think it has more to with how SOME fans treat House/Wilson. I did not see it at ALL until season three and it was all on Wilson's side for me.

I sometimes get frustrated with the House fandom because too many people assume that House/Wilson is all but canon.
