B.J./Hawkeye, probably because there's more angst potential than Hawkeye/Trapper (which I don't mind, since B.J. and Trapper aren't contempories, so the pairings can co-exist, as it were).
Who could you never slash on the show? Frank, because he seems rather homophobic ("degenerates!"), and the Father, because he's just too innocent for that sort of shenannigans.
Do you get a lot of flack for slashing what so many seem to view as a 'family' show? Well I don't really talk about it with anyone except other slashers. So no. I don't see why a 'family show' should have homosexual relationships featured in it if it has heterosexual ones anyway.
How do you feel about that? If I ever got flack, I'd stand my ground. If there's het, why not slash?
What attracted you to the slash component of the show? The slash just kind of leaps out at you. A bunch of guys cooped up together far from home with plenty of angst and fluff potential sloshing about? Yum. I also like the het angles present too, mind you.
What attracts you to a military fandom? Nothing specifically. I don't particularly go for military shows, just sit-coms which are well written and acted, and are funny. Anyway, M*A*S*H is going for sort of the opposite of military, in a way.
What would you like fans of other military shows to know about this one? M*A*S*H is the show that clears up after war shows. There's very little violence (*points at rating guide on back of DVD case* see?) and much more irony and generalised satire directed at the military. And yet, somehow, it's still good for a decent war story.
What, if any, do you think are "issues" in this fandom? Got issues? Go tissues! *Ahem* I'm wondering if you could expand on this question a bit? 'Issues' is a bit wide. Every episode has its own issues. But of course, the all-encompassing issue is how stupid war can be.
