Hi, yes we need more POI slash fic. I'll tell you one reason I think there isn't as much as I'd like to see -- Carter fans. I've been in fandom a million years but never spent much time in fandoms with main female characters (Starsky & Hutch, The Sentinel) and even in the ones that did have main, strong females, there was enough slash that the fandom would have communities for slash and for the het fans. Not so in POI, sadly. And yes, we need more slash. I watched one ep and immediately went looking for slash on AO3 -- and the first ep I saw was "Get Carter" -- so yes, I am and always will be a slasher, lol. Anyway, on the POI discussion forum there is such a preponderance of het shippers and Carter fans... and many of the participants are new to fandom so if they have slashy leanings, they don't feel comfortable expressing them. I've been bothered by this for nearly a year now and still haven't figured out how to help the situation. Been writing a lot and want to write some long, plotty slash fics, but just haven't managed to yet. The longest slash fic I know of is Katica Locke's "Damaged." But I'm trying. (And trying to hang out more here on DW instead of always being on LJ, so may I friend you?)
