LOL… apparently it’s my mission to cause you coffee mishaps in the morning…
I used to be all about OTPs… I got into online fandom via Janeway/Chakotay and was indoctrinated into their ways. Boy those JetC shippers were intense… Then I moved towards Harry Potter fic when Voyager ended, and my endless quest for absolutely anything featuring McGonagall helped me to see that multi-shipping is really much more fun.
This morning I started reading a licensed Star Trek book featuring mirror universe versions of Janeway and Chakotay getting busy on the floor of an engine room. Ten years ago I would have flipped. Today I just LOLed. Perhaps I have grown as a person…? Or perhaps I’ve lost something special. Oh well!
And I think you’re right about good writing being the most important thing (and yes, thank god for WNW). But it is harder to be picky when it’s femslash!
(Incidentally, I am right now listening to the Nany Visitor version of Fever…)
