holliI've done a lot of soul-searching, and come to the conclusion that I... am straight.
It's actually kind of embarrasing. In DCU fandom, I may be the least queer person around. And while I dearly love the slash, and am happy for its abundance and quality... I have all these weirdo het pairings that I am COMPLETELY ALONE IN.
When fandom is so overwhelmingly not-straight-- and it *is*, because nobody embraces sexual diversity like people on the Internet-- it genuinely feels strange to be the one who wants to kiss boys, and only boys. I am MAYBE a 2 on the Kinsey scale, if I stretch. The VAST majority of my OTPs are het; obscure, weird het at that. I mean, Stargirl/Captain Marvel? What the hell? Dawn/Connor? Tim/Greta, for fuck's sake!
I am SO NOT KINKY. And it's both weird and kind of cool that this is what makes me stand out in fandom.
(Using my OT3 icon for this, because some things are obvious even to ME.)
