Gen Fic, for SCIENCE!

[ratherastory]

This is something of a follow-up to a conversation in my post about the hypothetical Gen Big Bang, in which I discovered to my shock and dismay that not everyone agrees on what constitutes gen fic!

Thus I am conducting a poll for SCIENCE!

Please spread the word, I am really curious to hear opinions on the subject.

Well, I chose other. I think gen fics definately can't have romance, but I do think that sex could possibly be involved as long as it's not really explicit(smut). Like I can imagine a gen fic that involves Dean flirting and going off with a waitress or something, but that isn't romance. Canon pairings can be mentioned but there shouldn't be any focus on the couple together plot wise. Like John and Mary Winchester are of course married, but as long as the fic isn't focused on thier relationship it's gen.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. So, implied sex is okay, but nothing explicit and no romance.

Food for thought.
