I'm not sure how far my answers will apply, or how fair it is of me to throw my twopenneth'rth in, but...
What's your favorite pairing and why?
Hawkeye/BJ. They just seem so 'right' together and conform to everything I look for in a slash couple.
Who could you never slash on the show?
With the exception of above, and Hawkeye/Trapper (whom I find okay), pretty much anyone - but certainly anyone with the Father.
Do you get a lot of flack for slashing what so many seem to view as a 'family' show?
Nope.
How do you feel about that?
Not applicable.
What attracted you to the slash component of the show?
The same as any other slash pair. The 'rightness' of them together. Their closeness. Friendship. Togetherness. Inter-dependence. Love. Affection.
What attracts you to a military fandom?
Nothing especially. It's the specific pairing/show that works for me, the genre of show doesn't matter.
What would you like fans of other military shows to know about this one?
Er. Pass - sorry.
What, if any, do you think are "issues" in this fandom?
I'm really only on the periphery of this fandom, so it's a bit unfair of me to say, but I'd say about the same as any other fandom. Plus, any 'arguments' over different OTPs, and personally, I find the use of shortened names, i.e making one name from two, a tad irritating and irksome - but again, that's happening in other fandoms, so... ::Shrug:: It's not enough to really bother me.
