Ewwwwww. That sounds like a seriously me-unfriendly fic.
Er, yeah. But to be honest, it's not the content that gets to me..it's that everyone in it is so damned out of character. *cough* That, and the fact that despite not even being edited for spelling and grammar, it gets gushing praise.
There does seem to be an attitude in some places that, you know, ONLY SLASH THE PRETTY!
The odd thing about Snape is that people seem perfectly content for him to be not-pretty, so long as he's slashed with someone who is. Even when these someones are people he's none too fond of in canon - Harry, Lupin, Black. But when he's written with equally un-pretty characters - Dumbledore, Filch, Hagrid - people give you the hairy eyeball.
Personally, I like giving the average, unattractive, interesting joes some attention too :-P
