Rewriting the Rules of Fiction

Wall Street Journal Article: Rewriting the Rules of Fiction talks about fan fiction and how the companies owning the characters handle it...

It is a very good article but one thing bothers me - the fact that they specifically select slash and gay relationships between fictional characters in fan fiction as something to be wary of. So, explicit gay fan fiction is not good. Explicit het fan fiction is okay and acceptable... Am I the only one who sees how wrong it is? And terms like the "stigma of slash" don't help either...
