to write the unwriteable wrong

Contentious as I know it is, I believe in something like a 'slash aesthetic'. I think it's something about the way slash is written, rather than the content, that makes it appeal to me. And my main reason for thinking this is that nearly all the het I like is written by people who are primarily slashers - Shallot, say, or Te. The only Snape/Hermione story I ever liked was described by its author as 'honourary slash'. So yeah. Just something else to throw into the melting pot.
