Ah, yes... when we talk about characterization and expectations for a certain character, that takes us back to the original use of the term slash, though again, this could be covered by simply saying it is OOC, AU, non-canon, etc.

I agree. To draw attention to that one couple would be very unfair and, I think, inappropriate.

No problem! ^_^ I've been fairly reclusive and inactive in the sims comm lately (as well as reale life, I'll be honest), so it's nice to "get out more" around here. I've always appreciated seeing your thoughtful comments on simsecret, so I'm glad I started following your posts.
