No slash? WTF?

[dragonyphoenix]

I just realized the Circle of Friends remix has a no slash policy. I'm having difficulty not reading that as homophobic. I don't think I'm going to drop out but I also think I wouldn't have joined in if I'd read the rules more closely beforehand.

I'm not sure how allowing M/F but not M/M or F/F keeps it gen focused but that's at least better than the (non) explanation they give.

And I'm not trying to suggest anybody shouldn't sign up. I just realized it today and freaked a bit.

I'd actually forgotten the rule and, as I was looking over everyone's stories to get ahead start no matter who I was assigned, I was worrying about my ability write Ethan should I draw you...

Don't we get to pick the story we remix? Granted, I'm a fan of Giles/Ethan but Ethan's not in every single one of my stories. ;-)

Yes we do, but your G/E stories are so intriguing, so yeah... I was thinking... But of course, that's moot now and it's not like I even know who I am getting anyway.

your G/E stories are so intriguing. That's so sweet. Thank you.

If you look up in my comments, rbfvid provides a link that explains where aadler is coming from on the whole no-slash rule.
