There is a lot of heterosexual fan fiction out there covering just the
pairings
you mentioned, plus others. There is also a lot of homosexual fan fiction
out
there. Are you suggesting that we should only have heterosexual fan
fiction and
not homosexual?
This not-reading-posts must be catching. I was asking why the dominant discourse in B7 smut is male-male pairings, because this seems counterintuitive to me in the light of what we know about the characters and the number of strong women in the show. I'm not surprised that there _are_ male-male stories out there, just that they seem to be the dominant form of B7 sexual fanfic.
And what about poor old Og? I've had him shagging Dayna, Gan and Jarriere
in my
stories.
All at once? Sounds painful.
