I'm not Swizerland but I'm not clued in completely, either. This is something I've thought vaguely about but never deeply. I never had an inclination to read slash until Harry Potter. I gave it a try and liked it -- sometimes. It all depends, really. How well is it written, is it emotional, is it boring or cliched? Do I feel in the mood to read slash?
I read and write both het and slash. I used to write only het. No, wait I take that back. Once, in early 1997 when i wrote my very first erotica stories I'd asked people on alt.sex.stories.m to let me write custom fics for them. I wanted to practice this new area of writing. I wrote two fics (had many requests but couldn't fulfill them all, suddenly finding out it's not as easy as it looks!) one was for a couple about the woman having sex with men in porn theatre during a porn movie. The other was for a guy who wanted to uh, have himself depicted as being abducted by a bunch of guys, raped and forced to have sex with a horse. or maybe it was a dog, Hell I dunno. So that was my first slashy type story. Yes, I know it sounds very gross -- the horse and dog part. He wanted it to take place in a barn -- hey I gave him a barn, lol:) I remember his name was Scott. I think I called it Scott Goes All the Way or something like that.
But I never got turned on my it till Harry Potter.
I don't think that if you don't want to see homosexual people having sex or read about it that you are afraid of or disgusted by homosexual people. I believe that it's perfectly fine and normal. Just as I don't expect homosexual people to crave reading about het sex or watching het porn. Now just because some gay people don't find het stuff interesting or arousing and might even find it gross doesn't offend me in the least and it's their minds, their choice...who the hell am I to say what people HAVE TO LIKE or else be banished/labelled/cruxified? That's plain stupid.
So anyone who writes slash exclusively -- what's the dealio? Is it a mood? Is it the only fiction you get turned on by writing? Do you still read het and get turned on by it and just don't feel like writing it?
