Ponderance
Apr. 26th, 2007 10:27 amWhen I entered fandom years ago (not as many years as some of you, but years nonetheless) I was taught that Gen fic meant that the storyline of the fic could concievably happen within the show (or whatever source material).
If that's the case, does that mean that most Torchwood crack!fic is actually Gen?
And when two characters are together in the show (whether it's a hetero or gay coupling) does a fic with them go into the Gen category or should it still get sorted into Het or Slash?
Or is my definition completely wrong?
I swear my brain will start working properly again someday. I will have intelligent thinky thoughts at some point. Today is not that day though.
