the not-quite-gen poll

[violacea]

So, I had some mental debates about how to classify my big bang, which led me to some other thoughts, and now I'm curious about the reading habits of others! I'm thinking in bandom right now, obviously, but I'd be interested in comparing and contrasting other fandoms, too, so everyone who reads fanfic should feel free to answer! And point people in this direction, too, because I'd love to get a large-ish sample.

Thoughts? Questions? Did I phrase something really weird? Let me know!

I answered based on the fandom in which my reading is most limited, where there are only a few pairings I seek out and where there are some pairings that bother me so much that I'll stop reading, even if they're only mentioned in passing.

I think marking things "gen character study of [x character] with canon pairings" or "gen ensemble with canon pairings" can't hurt and can potentially be useful.

Yeah, I'm the same way - a heading of "gen with X/Y undertones" never goes astray, I don't think!
