Entry tags:

pairings, ships, gen, category stuff update

Some results of the relationship template/category discussion include a new hierarchy:

Category:Relationships
Category:Gen Relationships
Category:Pairings
Category:Moresomes


(Moresomes to appear in the Pairings category as well due to differing definitions of "pairing")

Another discussion underway between Espresso Addict and me could turn into an epic categorizing project: creating gen, femslash, etc. fandom categories, as well as subcategories for fanwork genres.

I think there should be an infobox on the topic of gen and how it's applied, because of the widespread disagreements on that.

I'm quite uninterested in arguing, but sometimes it seems weird, I've even suggested to an author that ALL ROMANCE ALL THE TIME might make a fic not gen. She disagreed.

There's a lot of debate over what constitutes gen.
