It obviously depends on the fandom, but you probably have a point. I'd definitely like some more gen fics for most of my fandoms. Stories that focus on a particular character or friendship or something like that.

But my biggest slash-related pet peeve is when everyone turns out to be gay. I totally get the urge to pair everyone off, but it's statistically unlikely they'd all be same sex pairings.

Re: Your second point.

This annoys the hell out of me. Like, I get it if the story is meant to be about people who come together because they are gay, like in "But I'm a Cheerleader!" And in AU's based on that, I can get behind that, but when everyone is gay, the statistical improbability of it annoys me. |D

Well, the thing is, often people who aren't heterosexual end up together in groups. To give an example from my life, when I was in college, most of my friends met up in anime club and found other things in common together. Out of the 9 of us that I'd consider the 'core', only 1 was heterosexual. The rest of us were a mix of homosexual, bi, and asexual. When I found a new group after college, this one mostly based around tabletop RPGs, we had 2 heterosexuals out of 6 people, and they were dating each other.

That's a fair point, but when you have a story about people who come together for a completely different reason, it doesn't work for me. Like, in The Avengers, everyone came together to save the world, and when people write it that their all secretly gay, it just seems so unlikely. Or, like, the old Justice League cartoon, the original seven get together to save the world. If they turned out toe all be gay, I'd be side-eyeing it because 1. statistical improbability, 2. some of them would have to be bi, considering the way the canon relationships worked out, and 3. some of them are aliens/from non-modern human cultures, do they define sexuality the same way we do? (That applies to The Avengers as well.)

So, while I can see people coming together because of the group thing, when people come together for a completely different reason, but oh hey, they're all non-heterosexual, it just seems too statistically improbable.
