There are two things (well, a hell of a lot more that two, really...) that I don't understand--lol cats and Sam-is-a-girl stories.
Why is Sam a girl? What for is he female? Because number one--that's one ugly broad. Number two--why??? Explain to me, and I might read those stories. Right now, they just scare me. I can read a limited amount of Lex-in-a-skirt, but gender change stories...not too much.
And the cats just freak me out. There, I said it. They make me all ew and grumpy. But I must admit, inanimate objects with personality can make me laugh. And fish, and other non-fluffy animals. Somehow, it's just cats and dogs I don't like all that much. (as in hell no)
The world was so much simpler when I was a girl.

Well, I'm not sure--maybe self-insert, but I'm thinking it'd be hard to get away with it! Most of the writers I see doing it I know are good writers--some have come from other fandoms, BuffY I think, and those writers were always pretty wild. SV is almost conservative compared to SpN or Buffy, or from what I understand--SGA, lol!
I really suspect it's what's been said before--maybe the incest seems not quite as bad if it's not boys? And still, and most importantly in my mind is Sam=dorky looking girl.
