One of the shows I have gotten into recently is Eureka on the SciFi channel. So, I go looking for fanfiction for it & find Jack & Nathan slash & say to myself, "Ok, possible -- the whole opposites attract scenario -- but the way the characters are written and acted in the show, highly improbable. The latest story I came across topped that -- Jack/Nathan/Fargo slash. What the? o.O Seriously, I don't get it. The way I see it, slash is ok, if the pairing is possible & the story is well written, but not when the characters can't even stand being in the room with one another & it's obvious that they are in love with the same woman (Allison), with lots of UST going on between Allison and Jack and Allison and Nathan. And I really don't understand why authors just throw the male actors together because they are both very attractive. Give me a plausible reason why they should be together other than the fact that they are eye candy the author wants to be stuck between.
fanfiction,
