Well, you obviously like slash, lol. :D Seems as though you pick pairings that aren't as popular/common/canon.

(P.S. Yay for Vaughn/Sark! I don't know anyone else who likes that pairing).

It is rare for me to fangirl over het pairings, I admit. And I do prefer the ones that don't have a thousand fics to their name, though I'm sure why. It does happen on occasion that I like the predominant OTP.

(I have no idea why more people don't ship this pairing. It's so obvious. Just look at all the angsty, angry tension between them.)

Is there a reason for that? Just curious.
I've noticed that sometimes the main fandom OTP bothers me just b/c people gush about it so much.

(I know! I don't think there's much slash in the Alias fandom, though. It seems to be mostly Syd/Vaughn & Syd/Sark.)

I don't know. My interest in het disappeared after I discovered slash. It's not until about a year ago that I got interested in het again. And I can't really read het smut written by anyone but me unless I'm really really into the female character. No idea why. There's also a big deficiency of female characters who I'd be interested in fic-wise. There's none in Heroes, for example (except possibly Eden, but they killed her; or Jessica).

Excessive gushing does get annoying if it's a pairing you don't like. I just don't find most main OTPs very interesting to begin with.

(Alias is a predominantly het fandom, something I had never encountered before. I don't think I would have been able to get into the fandom comfortably because of that).

Hm, interesting. When I discovered slash I definitely squeed over it more than het pairings, but I never really lost interest in the het pairings. But oh yeah, I'm the same with het smut. I couldn't stand it until recently, and now I can only read it for a few pairings. There's not much really good stuff out there.
(Eden! So mad they killed her).

Yeah, I get that.

(It's weird...I'm used to there being at least an active slash section in most of my fandoms).
