Legolas had never seen so much hair on inappropriate body parts in his long Elven life. Four pairs of hairy feet and four beards assaulted him at every meal. It was enough to kill his appetite, even after hours of walking.

I love these. That Honey thing is the dirtiest story I've read in a while (and I just finished most of the Slashy Santa story list). Differences is cool too. Hey, they are all good. The last one, however, hits a bit close to home for me this week, with the cold/flu and feeling about 100 years old.

Thanks, Lissa! I think the problem is that many MEFA reviewers "don't read" slash. I entered this series in Romance--to me, they are all about what love is.

GA, I totally agree: love is love, no matter the gender of the parties involved.

Should probably point out that when I started reading fanfic (not long ago), I was highly surprised to find so many m/m pairings; it hadn't really occurred to me before. However, I don't know why slash would scare the reviewers. Is it homophobia or merely a sense of 'what Tolkien intended', do you think?

I think it's homophobia for the most part.
