The idea I'm going after here is: "The people you like slash about, would you actually consider boinking them (if they existed), or do you think the concept of you boinking them is hot, or are they only hot to you in slash?"

One of the toxic tropes of observers to the fic world is that "Fangirls only like Character X because they want him themselves". However, I have noticed in myself that there are pairings where I would not like either/any of the participants myself, but think they work well together. Neither McKay nor Sheppard really makes me say "hi I would like to take one of you home with me" to myself, but I think they have excellent chemistry together, and I really like that.

And "what the hell" questions about my proposed questions here are totally cool. I am used to rigorous debate over far less personal proposed changes in LJ Suggestions, so it's only reasonable that questions about intensely personal stuff should raise eyebrows.

I do plan on having a "hi, not sharing that thanks" option for every question where it's remotely reasonable. (Questions like "I am taking this survey", for example, would be a question where a "decline to answer" option would possibly be silly ... though you probably could learn things from how many people came through, looked at the thing, and just ticked that.)
