[edit] 2007
- On June 24, 2007, malnpudl made the following observation regarding slash to het to gen representation in this fandom:
- A lot of it depends on the particular fandom you're talking about. For example, in the Buffyverse and in Stargate SG-1 you'll see as much het as slash, and occasional femslash as well -- while in due South it's almost all slash; het happens, but it's pretty rare -- and Farscape is heavily het.
