Well, I'm glad to hear other people agree with me too :)
I think it's important not to turn this into an argument of "Why my kind of fanfic is the best and all the others suck", especially since being in the minority it's unlikely to do us any good. There's different functions served by gen, and slash, and het (and poor old neglected femmeslash too) and we should be able to talk up our favourite types of stories without putting down any of the others.
Part of the problem, I think, is that people like gen for different (albeit often overlapping) reasons, so we can unite to argue what it's not but not so much to argue what it is and why we like it.
