For just babbling, you are astoundingly coherent. I think I'd just like to add a hear, hear to your comments.
I have a pairing I’m particularly fond of reading. I also read a wide variety of other pairings out and enjoyed stories where there is thoughtful characterization, an engaging plot or a lyricism to the writing which engages me. I don't especially like slash because I often have a hard time seeing some of the frequently slashed characters relating in that manner - and yet I've read really well done fics (frequently courtesy of your wonderful site) that made me believe in Spander or Spangel, etc.
I read fanfic for the writing, the characterization, the plot, the ideas, etc.
So do I. Thanks for encapsulating what I like about the world of fanfic when you get beyond the cliques, the pairings and the kerfuffles.
