This is why this a secret. Because it's an innocent speculation, but everyone thinks that I'm assuming that everyone in fandom is lonely or that you can only ever like slash because you are lonely. I don't think people in fandom are any more lonely than people outside of it. And yeah, you can like the dynamics between characters, but it's still an escapism fantasy. Why not just read genfic instead of pairings?

And by "any sort of slash" I meant slash, femmeslash and het as well.

Sometimes characters don't have to be in love. Or fucking. Or anything like that. But it pops up constantly within fandom.
