Interesting. I have to say I share at least part of your opinion on smut. There IS such thing as 'too much smut' and sometimes my cup runneth over. Or something. Seriously, I've sometimes taken a vacation from slash and went to read some gen in some other fandom. Similarly, I've quit reading stories in the middle just because I've suddenly had enough.
Slash doesn't equal sex-sex-sex-all-the-time, at least not to me. Otherwise, how would it be different from any porn story? But at the same time, some smut is better written than some other smut. Do I even make sense? I speak mainly from the reader's POV since I haven't written that much and I'm VERY well aware of my own lack of decent plotting skills.
What comes to this war-thing: no, you're not offending me. I don't have any good or bad arguments to back me up but I'm just not agreeing with you.
