Re: on a slight tangent
I just think it's out of the ordinary to object to people selling their original stories in a magazine, and the claim that marketing content similar to slash is somehow objectionable too.

No, I agree with that.

But I do wonder how much of that has to do with the fact that the poster is male. One of the biggest sources of outrage over Fanlib was that it was run by men-- men trying to cash in on a female activity, those evil bastards, etc. If a woman were talking about starting a m/m original fiction publishing house or magazine, people would probably be all in favor.

Wouldn't it be interesting if several years from now we did have one, where in a normal bookstore you would see all of these m/m romance novels?

Very.
