I clearly like all genres as long as they contains r/s.

This is my answer too! I like all eras too provided the story is well done and has Remus and Sirius in it. And as epithalamium002 says, the best writers have all done something in this corner of the fandom.

As I said in my rec of one of the recent rs_games stories from Team AU, I would have described myself as being a canon hore and my tastes as running more to tales about character than explicit sex. So of course, I fell in love with remuslives23's AU, bodice ripper style, murder mystery!

I rarely venture out of this pairing except for gen fic because the stories written about R/S can satisfy all of my romance, humor, p0rn, angst, hurt/comfort, ect needs! Other pairings seem a bit bland to me unless one character is Snape. Honestly, Harry/ Draco is "I hate you!" "No, I'm really just covering up the fact that I love you. Let's shag!" Most AS/S is about best mates shagging. And I see no reason for Harry/ Draco fics where Draco is a werewolf and Harry becomes an animagus to help him ........

Now I do wish for more R/S action/ adventure stories. And mysteries! I adore mysteries. Also, I have been researching crossovers lately and can see possibilities there too ....... For instance, look at this Dr Who/ Torchwood/ HP croosover (http://lizardspots.insanejournal.com/16594.html) by lizardspots with Harry as The Doctor, Ron as Rose, Sirius as Captain Jack, Hermione as Gwen, Remus as Ianto, and Voldemort as a Dalek. Now isn't that inspiring?

I've read some good Harry/Draco where the prevailing motif is more "well, you didn't turn out to be all bad. And you seem to be marginally helpful right now. *become reluctant comrades in arms and then circumstances conspire* Oh, all right, you're kind of halfway to good looking, for a ferret, perhaps as a matter of convenience."

But, then, I'm biased because the other pairing of my heart is Pansy/Hermione, so I think about and occasionally write younger!generation HP fic. Which means I kind of have to involve Harry and Draco.

I don't dislike Harry/Draco. I just find it more generic. There is so much canon on the trio generation that it takes a long fic to convince canon hore me that they are hot for one another, never mind a relationship.

This is why for the most part, I'm interested in the First War generation or maybe Next Gen.....

But also, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black have enough complex canon to have captured the interest of some very outstanding writers and artists! I'd compare this to the interest in Jack/ Ianto of Torchwood. And unfortunately, their creators were equally kind!
