M*A*S*H Slash

I might be late to the party, but I think I'll answer these anyway.

What's your favorite pairing and why?

Hawkeye/Sidney. I love angst that ends up with a happy ending, and this is the only pairing I can really see that happening with. Also, I love rarepairs. And I'm a sucker for Sidney.

Who could you never slash on the show?

Colonel Potter? Haha, he's about the only one, really. I can slash anyone and everyone.

Do you get a lot of flack for slashing what so many seem to view as a 'family' show?

I've gotten a couple flames for it, yeah.

How do you feel about that?

I just think that's stupid. It's quite an intelligent show about the horrors of war, so I'm not exactly sure when it became "family." Even if it was, the constant talk of drinking and sex that was canon isn't any worse than slash.

What attracted you to the slash component of the show?

I just love picking up on innuendo and subtext, and M*A*S*H had a lot of it.

What attracts you to a military fandom?

I never really looked at that way, because I slash the doctors, not the actual soldiers.

What would you like fans of other military shows to know about this one?

I'm not really sure what this question is asking. I guess that M*A*S*H is a different kind of military show and that you should check it out.

What, if any, do you think are "issues" in this fandom?

Mostly small things, squibbles over smushed together pairing names, the squickiness of Mulcahy!slash, things like that. I don't think there are any huge rifts.
