Fic Talk > I Challenge You....
Are you up for a challenge? Come in if you are brave!
MellzBellz:
I tried to read a slash/fantasy fic which again shall remain nameless cuz I don't want to insult the author. (Although it wasn't the fact that it was written bad. It's just me LOL) I figured ok... Slash and fantasy are prolly the two genres I REALLY don't read too much although I have read excellent stories in both catergories in the past. (There was a great slash I read a few years ago, I forget the name, but it was a Nick/AJ and it focused more on how the media reacted to them coming out and I think I enjoyed it more cuz the characters were so strong you kind of forgot it was Nick and AJ and you felt really bad for them. But yea... even at that I had to skim the sex parts) Anyway I'm rambling again...
Point is that I only got maybe half a page in before I was like OMG I can't do this! LOL How sad is that?

^ not sad at all! I remember one time I was supposed to help judge for an awards and the category I got stuck with was slash and I got through maybe two sentences of a story and had to let the person who was in charge know that I wasn't going to be able to be impartial since I couldn't get through even a paragraph without laughing lol
Some genres just aren't for everybody.

Yea I had to judge an awards once for like best Nick story and I read all the stories except the slash one. I guess that wasn't very fair, huh? :-[

That's me too. Slash is the one genre I can't take seriously. I just can't. I've read one really good story where Brian was gay, but it wasn't a SLASH. He didn't get it on with any of the other guys; it was more about the emotional stuff he went through and the reactions of others and so on. That kind of stuff is fine, but it's when the guys are in bed together calling each other cutesy pet names that I just can't handle it - it's too funny, even when it's not supposed to be!
