Most Fic-Inspiring Eps

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

We may have had this topic before, but with a different emphasis.  I don't mean the eps you personally think are the slashiest, but the ones which seem to inspire the most slash fic.  (I haven't really read enough het or gen to be able to comment on those except to say that the Ace eps would probably come top there.)

My list (not in order) is as follows: Blue, Demons & Angels, Terrorform, Dimension Jump, Stoke Me A Clipper, Balance Of Power (the power struggle, obviously), Me2 (two Rimmers clearly sparks people's imagination), Marooned, Bodyswap for obvious reasons, Legion (even more obvious) and possibly Rimmerworld.

So what are others' perceptions?  Oh, and thanks to Feckles on Tumblr, whose jokey comment about Terrorform fics being obligatory for us slash writers inspired this topic.

I'd agree with all the above but would maybe throw in Parallel Universe for genderswap and Mpreg stuff. Also Thanks for the Memory and maybe Holoship.

Yes, I did think about those but thought they were a little less obvious. "Holoship" has probably inspired loads of het, but Rosecathy and yourself amongst others have shown how easily it can be translated into slash.

It was interesting (and refreshing) that Rob and Doug didn't go out of their way to specify that the "not turning down offers of sexual congress" thing only applied to m/f liaisons. Because let's face it, all those holograms on a ship for millennia, having discarded the notion of family etc would be pretty unlikely to care about gender after a while. ;)
