Mostly, as I don't think I could effectively crit a slash story, it means I'd be wary of a slash writer/reader critiquing a gen story.
This is a really interesting point of view and one that I think could spark a lot of good discussion in the comm. :)
We alternate genres each time we discuss--gen, followed by het, followed by femslash, followed by m/m slash. Each genre has been equally represented and we've discussed 6 gen stories to date. So you might find something that interests you in those stories. And if not, that's perfectly okay too. :)
