Hey, so I was just pondering the slash content of this comm, and this fandom in general, and something occurred to me:
Heyes/Curry is the absolute OTP. I haven't seen even a trace of another pairing mentioned in passing in any Alias Smith & Jones slash. Love my Heyes/Curry, but it just got me thinking, and when I start thinking, my brain throws up fic.
So, there is floating around in my head at the moment, a sort of angsty love triangle fic, which (don't worry) has plenty of Heyes/Curry, but with the novel new pairing of Heyes/Big Jim Santana. (I was watching Return to Devil's Hole last night, which may just have sparked that thought)
So, just wondering, amongst those of you who like the slash, what do you think? Intriguing or utterly wrong? Can you imagine Heyes with someone other than his beloved Kid?

Date: 2011-01-21 09:29 pm (UTC)I've noticed that I far prefer OTP to the point that I don't really like series with large casts (Mag 7 comes to mind) because there are no true pairings, and every author has their own couple and own take on how the couple came to be. I want very committed couples if I'm reading slash.

Date: 2011-01-21 10:24 pm (UTC)I'm kind of like the White Queen ("Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast"), so yes, I can "see" a Heyes/Big Jim scenario. Not necessarily intriguing, but not utterly wrong for me.
Would I personally want to read such a story? Not that you asked, but--
Hmm, if I *knew* it would end with Heyes/Curry, possibly. Other factors, such as writing style, plot elements, time constraints, etc., would be just as important to me; the Heyes/Big Jim pairing alone would not be the deal breaker. But ultimately, Heyes/Curry is my OTP, definitely.

At any rate, Lamas really exuded some macho chemistry when he was on screen. He was very charismatic. And he seemed to like putting his hands all over Heyes in that episode. I remember feeling very protective of him becasue Kid wasn't around to stake his claim.

If you go ahead, good luck with it.

For me fanfiction is about having fun playing with the characters/storylines/fandoms. There is no financial gratification, so personal satisfaction is most important for me.
Feedback is also important but not the most important. I am the only writer in Poland in my main fandom and if I get one comment after writing 14 fics I feel accomplished. I write it anyway :)
