What I count as a "threesome" in fanfic is a relationship that includes three people, which each of the three involved more or less evenly with both of the other two.

If you are saying most characters are shown as too monogamous to fit into such a relationship, well I view that as the same argument as "Canon has never shown them showing interest in their own gender so they are straight by default!", or the other related argument of "Portraying [Character] as gay is OOC!".

Portraying any given character as being willing to be part of a threesome is no more OOC than portraying them as gay in fic. It may vary slightly off canon, but as long as the rest of their personality remains reasonably like canon, it can be acceptable.

I also do not like calling a triangle an "OT3". I define a "threesome" as an even threeway relationship, where any given member is in love with both of the others, and there's no fighting between two over the third (except maybe incidental "Who tops tonight?" discussions).

It's a problem I have, you see. A pretty good example is how I just couldn't get into shipping when I first started watching Supernatural - back when season 2 was airing - since the most popular ship back then was some combination of Wincest and Dean was Just. Too. Straight. (In my mind, anyhow.)

I don't mind if other people have a different interpretation of that, but based on evidence I just couldn't see the brothers banging. And at that point in the show there wasn't really anyone else to ship them with except uh... maybe their parents or random monsters?

I do better with games in general because there's a good chunk of games that just leave it completely ambiguous (usually because they're designed for teenage boys and designers figure they don't want any mention of wives or families in their white saviour fantasy).
