Ok first off, I commend you for stating how you feel in such a sensible and (semi) respectful way. Thank you for not saying "OMG merader slash is soooOOooOooOOOooOO gross!!!!!!11!!1oneone!!1!!!"
But (you saw it coming. You know it, I had but face) I really have to disagree. I do understand where you're coming from about the whole "reducing friendship to sexual desire" thing. But that is a bit of a generalization. I know for a fact that not all Marauder slash out there is just Sirius and James going "oh em gee you are so hawt lykwo lets screw." Most of what I have read is two of the characters realizing that maybe what they feel for each other is more than friendship. This is no more wrong than Harry and Hermione realizing the same thing. The two characters slashed may have sexual desire for each other but this in no way means they aren't friends anymore.
It seems like what you're saying is that because the two characters have had sex together they can't still have that same fantastic bond of friendship that you seem to love so much. Two people in love (or lust) can't be friends? When did this happen, and why didn't I get the memo?
I get that some of the fiction out there is purely for the sake of some english guy on english guy action but you are generalizing and frankly that pisses me off. Feel free to rant at me but please, let me keep my respect for you and respond intelligently if anything?
Love and Waffles Falco Conlon
PS I agree about the redeeming draco thing. What a load of crap. The guy is evil, get over it.
PPS since when does a girl with a taste for hawt man six have a problem with all male groups of friends? Why can't she just like gay sex?
