owlectomyWhen I keep seeing slash in a book, it's usually either because I am so unbelievably bored that I will grasp at any straw to get them to do something interesting, or because I feel like I am a little bit in love with both the relevant characters and whatever kind of rivalry/enmity/friendship exists between them. (Oddly enough, I don't really have the imagination to stretch at pairings that don't have a pretty solid canon foundation--but that may be why I never had any interest in yaoi until I found manga where it was uncontestably in the canon ballpark).
Having just finished "An Abundance of Katherines," I'm astonished that it doesn't exist yet and half-tempted to write it. Colin/Hassan is so obvious that the characters themselves are making jokes about it. (Admittedly, the characters themselves aren't that physically attractive, but when it's a book it doesn't really matter. Plus, I imagine Colin as a younger version of N.D. from library school, and therefore cute). I am sorry, John Green. Please take it as a compliment.
