Someone on one of the forums I occasionally pop in and out of made the mistake of a) trying to convert me to the slash fic cause, because I'd said that I don't like it, and b) trying to convince me that fanfic doesn't really need proper spelling and presentation to be a good read.
Sad to say, my reply turned into a bit of a rant on both subjects. I mean, I accept that slash is very popular. I just don't happen to like it, in much the same way that I don't like eating peas or watching snooker. I don't try to convert slashers to the gen cause, so why do they try to convert me?
And I'm really not going to budge on the whole 'good spelling and grammar really is necessary and not that hard to achieve' principle.
Minor aside - is it worth paying for this journal just because I have more icons I like than my free account allows me to use? *G*
