12. Another one chiming in to say I know what you mean. I don't mind some romance, as long as it's handled maturely, but as the focus of a story it bores me to tears. Naturally, I don't go making an effort to find romance in character dynamics either (although my crack-pairing-dar has gotten pretty finely tuned...). I can think of maybe two pairings that have really caught me enough to ship, ever. I just can't relate at all to the fixation on pairings which characterizes so much of fandom, which is one part of why I'm not very into it.

Similarly, I don't think most fen actually have trouble seeing any platonic relationship as such; I assume they just prefer exploring the romantic/sexual version. Although the crazies do exist, and they're creepy. But sometimes it seems like everywhere you look there's another pairing, and it kind of adds up into the attitude that no character dynamic is ever enough without mad lust.

Course, there's always things like this post & comments around to remind us that the love for gen is out there...

Also, 19: Lucky! My brother wouldn't go for it.

now if they'd write it instead of bitching there isn't enough of it.
