Oh, I also saw the conversation you were having with your friend about fanfic and romance. Have you tried this place? http://p066.ezboard.com/fnerfherdersplaygroundfrm67.showMessage?topicID=2.topicm I haven't had much of a chance to scope out the fic there but there appear to be both men and women posting there, and as far as I can see the fic is more like an episode versus being dominated by romantic missing moments, etc. I haven't had much time. but if you get a few minutes, check it out and see if maybe it's more like what you and your friend are after.
