Observation & Request

[gothwalk]

Something that occasionally ticks me off about slash fanfic - why do people write stories where everyone is gay? The statistical likelihood is, uh, low, and it does rather strain the suspension of disbelief.

And since I know that there are several fanfic writers, readers, and participants reading this, can someone recommend some decent plot-heavy, romance-light fanfic in any of: Harry Potter, X-Men, X-Files, B5, ST:TNG or ST:DS9, or Star Wars? And if such things exist, Diane Duane, Barabara Hambly, or Chine Mieville fanfic would be very welcome.

you don't know me, but I saw your post and. . .
Give me Plot too!!!! Please! I don't mind romance, and I actually prefer slash fics if I'm reading romance, because my favorite characters are allmost allways male and I love watching them interact- which they do much more in slash fics, ususally, and because straight romance allmost allways follows a set pattern which gets boaring the 39874th time (Ok, slash is doing it a lot now too, but it didn't so much before.) BUT, I MAINLY want to read PLOT!! Give me politics, give me secret missions, give me history and science. All the romance fics are making it harder and harder to find plot heavy fics, and I for one consider it quite sad. . . I'm vaugely considering starting a plot fic archive, but I don't have the time... I'll let you know if I do, or if I find one somewhere.
