I think one of the dangerous bits (or rather the bit that's caused massive wank everytime I've seen it) is where the trope "Oh, I never realised I was gay/bi!" becomes "Oh, I never realised I was straight!". The former is problematic unless handled with skill, the latter tends to result in unfortunate undertones of "Yay! True love cured me of The Gay"

In other words, in theory I don't mind shipping/ficcing outside of someone's canonical sexual orientation, but if you're going to take a canonically minority character, for pretty much any issue I can think of, and turn them into a majority character you had better be a damn good author. Or wear asbestos underwear.

But really to ship anything outside of canon or popular fandom you have to be a damn good author or wear asbestos underwear.

AYRT: Hmm, perhaps because the fandoms I'm most active in are really pretty small I don't tend to encounter that problem, bar one or two infamous commenters per fandom. Also, I know full well it's not because I'm a "damn good author" :-)

Thinking of what I know of my friends' forays into the massive fandoms I can see what you mean though.

(((Also, I am impressed with my ability to try to type 'Teh' and make a typo that turned it into 'The'. Oh fingers.))
