I like two men being comfortable enough both with themselves and each other to flirt or talk about feelings or even just shoot some pool.
Exactly! It's not about sex - actually, I often skip the sex scenes in slash, unless they're really well-written. It's about interaction. It can be about picking up coffee in the morning, discussing the latest football scores, whatever. Slash is just the fanfiction genre where it's easiest to find some well-written male-male interaction, but of course you have to find the good stuff. So much slash out there is just crap.
Oh, I really do want to believe the Doctor's right on this one... so I shall, until proven otherwise. ;) I can't wait to see this week's episode! I don't want this series to end, although I'm quite curious to see how David Tennant will fare.
