[" but I...am just not into smut? For the longest time I've said I'm both the worse gen fan ever because I have so many ships; but also the worst slash fan because while I love romance, I always just skim the sticky bits."] - YES, yes this, this is me too. Perhaps for me though I came to slash late - or rather my realisation of what it was kind of dawned on me over a long period of time.
My first attempts at writing fanfic was back when I was 10 (mostly Star Wars and Star Trek) ... and at 10 with no one to tell me better ... ahahaha years (decades really) later when I fell into the black hole that is Minekura - only then did I realise. And at 10 , smut was the furthest thing from my mind.
I do read it but writing it, I've only made half-hearted attempts and have decided that I will leave that to those better at it than me, quite willing to read some of it if it is within a story well told, but I too gloss over it ... and then carry on.
And I haven't fallen down the Guardian rabbit hole, even though everybody I know everywhere is telling me to. I just haven't the time.
However, in these mad, mad times, I hope you and yours are doing ok. Stay safe, stay strong and stay sane.
