Cid/Vincent...! Fo' serious? I find that couple much more weird than Cloud/Barret.
*grin* Badly written slash makes me groan. I cannot make it through a work I consider to be bad, be it writing, film, TV, etc. I've tried to go all Mystery Science Theatre-mockery route but I just.can't. It's part of the reason why I've avoided slash for many years even while proclaiming myself a fangirl - there's so much bad stuff out there, ya know? I've been lucky enough to find some really awesome writers recently so I'm "in the groove", so to speak. As long as the writer is good and the characters at least maintain a semblance of who they were (sexuality and attraction aside) I can make it through. The character assassination you mentioned...yeah. God, I mean sometimes I wonder why people bother to write AU at all. If you're going to go AU why not just make up your own character and have them do something?
