    HP slashfic gives me the creeps, not because of homophobia, but more because I get this imperceptible vibe that it's written by people who are obsessed with the movie stars, and in some peculiar way want to debase them because they can't have them. Actually, I shouldn't single out the slashfic. There's plenty of shipfic that gives me this same impression, too.
