Someone pointed out all the crossovers that have been prominent in posting in the Highlander fandom lately, which got me to wondering about our OTP of Methos/Duncan.
I realize that to the majority of HL fans, that is the OTP, but there is a segment of the fandom that has no interest in that pairing. Somedays, I despair of finding fic that isn't D/M . It's very disheartening to have the fandom that you're the most invested in to have virtually nothing out there for you to read. I think that's why I gravitate towards crossovers. I have the most chance of finding a non D/M story in a crossover. It's like wandering the desert, parched for water! [g] But I don't see it changing, so I try to suck it up and not whine about it too often :) It is what it is [shrug] At least some of the antipathy towards us non-conformists seems to have died down. That sort of thing used to make the fandom a pretty unpleasant place to be.
So to answer your question, I would be thrilled to pieces if D/M was no longer the dominant pairing in Highlander fic. But I don't see a snowballs chance in hell of that happening! [g]
