I actually got into fandom by way of a het pairing
Well, now that I think about it, I guess I did, too. The first fanfiction I can remember reading was Sarah/Jareth from Labyrinth. Dude, I still think it's hot. *g*
When Queer As Folk came out (both the UK and US versions) there were a lot of veteran slashers who just weren't interested
Yeah, that's why I was wondering about whether people prefer non-canon to canon. My current theory (regarding my own preferences, if no one else's) is that relationships (both gay and het) that are romantic from the outset (on the show) are less interesting because they tend follow pretty narrow templates that I've seen a bajillion times before.
