What's your fanfic "niche"?

So maybe my writing niche and my reading niche are two different things.

I'm big on reading in the supernatural genre, too, like I said in my post. I definitely think reading & writing niches are very different, too. Personally, I feel like I can't read books in the same niche that I write because I can figure 'em out too easy just because "thats how I would've written it..." lol

slash, though I try so hard to stray away from it I just keep coming back to it. It's rather odd because in real life I don't really agree with being gay. (no offense at all if you are!!!!!!!)

Hm, that is kind of odd... Why do you feel that way in real life when you can appreciate a gay relationship in your stories? Is it a religious thing?
I don't mean to start a debate, but homosexuality isn't a choice, so it's not something you can really "agree" or "disagree" with. That'd be like saying "I don't agree with being black." Like it or not, some people are born black, just as some are born white, just as some are born straight, just as some are born gay.
If you enjoy writing slash and can see how a relationship between two men can be beautiful, then maybe you don't really "disagree with being gay." Maybe you just think you're supposed to. Don't let anyone else tell you how to think or what to believe. (And if it seems like that's what I'm trying to do, I'm not... I just wanted you to consider the point I'm making and decide for yourself how you really feel.)

no like... if you wanna be gay go for it but... i could NEVER be with another girl or if I was a guy a guy. Plus my fam is major religious and my hubby is homophobic. I mean I love Ellen D. but I could never kiss a girl like she does Porsche. Does that make sense? I could watch the degrassi episode where Marco and Dillon Kiss over and over and over but if a girl wanted me in real life... I'de have to run away!
RokofAges75:
It makes sense, but that's because you're straight. I have no interest in being with another girl either, but I'm not gay. It's not just a choice you make - I mean, sure, you can choose to go around kissing girls, but that doesn't make you gay if you're not really attracted to them. Just like a gay guy can date girls, but if he's really gay, then he's making a choice that goes against who he really is and how he really feels. I hope that makes sense too.
