Actually, in recent weeks, the R/H and D/H ships have dominated the 
fandom.  I also think that there are some very good D/H fics and a 
growing number of R/H fics that are quite good... and R/H is 
emphatically *not* my ship of preference.

I do indeed think that a R/H long-term (not just dating) relationship 
would be loads more "interesting" than H/H.  Just not a whole lot of 
fun for one or both parties.

The bliss of "happily ever after" is not nearly as interesting 
as "sturm und drang" and drama IMO.  :)
