Um. Why isn't "because" a good enough reason? Isn't personal taste the
dictator here? I'm not trying to be flippant, honest. But it's the same
reason I don't like some foods. Some things taste good and some don't. Don't
ask me *why*; they just work for me or not.

I may not be the most logical person to weigh in because I never read fanfic
anyway. I presume some slash is hot and heavy and some isn't. I wouldn't
like the hot and heavy stuff because I don't like to read hot and heavy sex
stuff. I don't think I'd mind the other. But don't ask me why I don't like
it, or not. It's just my preference. Why does anything more sinister or
judgemental have to be meant or inferred?
