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.

Romance is fine as a possible focus in gen but with no sex and no incestuous pairings. Any other pairings are fine so long as the sex is not hot and heavy. After all, you can't have romance without some kissing. The gen can have romance or not, what ever is necessary for the story. But I can understand why everyone may have a different opinion about what constitutes gen -- there are no hard and fast rules that I know of.

I agree to everything you just said.
