IT's not the sex...I just hate it when people twist the characters for those sorts of stories.
The only thing worse is when the really, cool, strong, and awesome guy/girl shows up to save the day, and they have the same name as the author.....

I think I remember Priscellie mentioning something about...*shudder* Harry/Marcone slash.
But of course, this is all hypothetical, you know, like fight club

In the publishing trade, those are called "Mary Sue" stories, and sometimes, they not only have the same name as the author, but also a highly stylized redrafted description of themselves; for instance...Dan Lister, short, bald, semi-portly Butcher-board smartypants, writes a story about Batman and Robin being saved by a non-canon character who's 6'4", broad-shouldered, hyper-athletic and smarter than Einstein and MacGyver combined...who just happens to be named Dan Lister, nicknamed "Tribblechomper". After saving the world, Tribblechomper gets a free access pass to the Batcave from Batman, who reveals his secret identity to Tribblechomper, who is clearly smarter, stronger, wiser than Batman.
Now, take that little story premise, put it between two slices of bread, add some mayo and mustard...and you have a fine example of a baloney sandwich.

No, it's not that I mind sex either of any type....hell, I read Yaoi but seriously, if the characters are written a certain way, don't screw with it....ahem (pun may or not may not be intended).
I can't even read drawn Harry Potter or Full Metal Alchemist slash.....or the drawn comic stuff. It's just not natural man!
As for Mary Sue...most of it really sucks and should be kept to oneself, to read over and over again. Not to make our eyes bleed.
