I really should have left it to Dana.

Dana is, of course, correct.
It gets complicated (I think) when you talk about a show where a het romance is part of the canon. So could a Farscape story in which John and Aeryn have lots and lots of sex be gen? Maybe? Given that the show was quite definitely PG-13 in places with the sex references... ::shrugs::
This is why categories make me cranky. Because I want it all in one place, damnit.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I always label for any kind of romantic content, on the theory that I've seen more people get pissed off by unlabeled sex--most often slashers unhappy to encounter het, honestly--than people get pissed off by lack of explicitness. I mean, I always give a rating as well, so if I rate that puppy PG they know they aren't getting fellatio.

Damn friends with interesting dreams.
I'm now writing an SGA/Farscape crossover with potential Sheppard/Aeryn smut.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In my head, gen and het are two different categories, and have nothing to do with any canon basis for the couples involved. A story with a lot of explicit sex? Not really safe for general audiences.
(It is possible I've been reading too much of the latest round of debate about what "slash" really means.)

Huh. The board ate my post. All it said was "Excellent," in response to Suela's post. Worth repeating, I think.

Ninth Doctor, no spoilers, Remix contest. Our old friend "fuck or die", gone from a joke in the original to very, very dark indeed.

Oh bwah! I was just reading a discussion about TV fanfic, and someone posted that her fandom was Due South and she despises slash stories of all pairings. That's like a white supremacist choosing to move to Kenya.
Maybe I should try to get her started in the Smallville fandom?
