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.

My 'Other' vote is this:
I classify Gen as something that could be aired during primetime TV, BUT NOT on HBO.

so, all eps of SPN, I would classify as Gen, even though there is sex [mention of, allusion to] in an episode.

True Blood on HBO? Definitely NOT GEN

But that's only my opinion!

So actual sex scenes can be present and the fic's still gen if the sex is rated TV-14?

[zoemathemata.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, like one of the definitions above said, sex [or a pairing] isn't the main storyline of the fic/episode, but it could happen.

But that's just my personal vote:)
