Gen Fic, for SCIENCE!
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.

I think a lot of it depends on whether we're associating Gen with paring or rating. Because there can be rated R non-paring fic (Winchester/OC) and rated G paring (cannon or non, but I think we've mostly taken non-canon out for actual relationships) fic.
As long as romance wasn't the main plot, could these both be Gen? Or do we need a new word for one of them?
Food for thought.
