This is precisely why I've moved out of the Harry/Draco fan camp.
At first, when slash was really subversive there were really good writers writing the forbidden pairing. There was Aja, Cassie Claire, and Rhysenn, and a few others. And the fic was good, well written and beta-ed. But now there are too many squeeing fangirls, most of whom do not have the talent nor the inclination to craft a well thought out, and believable plot. With many H/D fics you can clearly see through to the reasoning behind the fic. "Wouldn't it be great if two hot boys had buttsecks?" That shouldn't be the driving force behind fic writing in my opinion.
