[unfic] genre labels
So there's this large gray interzone I'm beginning to discern between 'shipfic and plain gen. Romance isn't the beall and endall, but nor is playing with lifeless action figures. People have sex and do *other* stuff, too. I've been calling it porny gen; dS fic does it pretty well, and I can see Firefly being especially suited to it, but Buffyverse fic is striking me recently as very polarized -- not just between ships but entire genres as well.
I need a better term than porny gen. Smutgen? Smudge? Pr0ngen. Grön.
Suggestions? Also, am I the only one interested in reading this?
eta: Overreaction or justified consternation on my part?
5) Is there a fannish convention in B/G writing that really annoys you? What is it? Why do you dislike it?
When the Scoobies are squicked about B/G. Xander's girlfriend is 1100 yrs old, and Willow's a lesbian. Neither of them have ANY room to talk.
