One of the things I personally dislike about a high proportion of slash fiction is that it doesn't bear a lot of resemblance to (mainstream) stuff I've read written by gay men.
I would find that a cogent argument if slash was intended as a serious depiction of gay male life rather than by-women-for-women smut.
As to most common pairing, there's an awful lot of Avon/Vila slash out there, and quite a bit of Avon/Tarrant.
The nature of fanfic writers, probably especially slashwriters, is to consider almost anything a challenge, so there are also quite a few stories about just about any combination of individuals. I quite like Blake/Travis prequel stories myself. I mean, Travis takes the whole thing so personally.
