I recently discovered a world with these ships that I had no idea about until then. I knew Wolfstar existed, but I didn't know there were so many LGBT ships in one world where it seems like homosexuality is much more common than heterosexuality. Which given the statistics, as it tends to be in reality, seems a bit unrealistic to me.

I kind of take all the posts and stories with the ships as AU - a world where it's just the other way around. I once saw a great short film where it was exactly like that. (Homosexuality was "normal" and then there was a girl and a guy who wanted to be together and then had to face the prejudice and ridicule of the neighborhood, which was all based on actual things someone said to gay couples). And like the short film, and like all the other AUs, I enjoy exploring it from that other point of view. Because that's what fanfiction is for, too.

But this poll is about what it would look like if we stuck to that realistic world. (Also, as a Slytherin, I kind of enjoy the reactions to how bad this poll is. Muhahahahaha!)
