Floating Leaf

It's not only het versus slash in my case, I think. It's also movies/'serious' literature versus fanfic or manga. I seem to approach these different mediums with very different expectations. Which is not to say that I see fanfic or comics as 'lower' forms of art which don't have to fulfill certain standards of quality. They can be low quality, of course, but some are masterpieces - just like there is plenty of really bad films or crappy 'original' fiction around. But, generally, when it comes to movies or books, I feel like I would be wasting my time on a story I don't find psychologically realistic or believable; while in fanfic or manga, I delight in happy fluff or sex that happens for no apparent reason.;)
