==Script vs Prose==
I've combined the "good/bad" entries and brought the discussion into a single subject. Working to revise points to a more neutral position.

== The Daria / Jane slash fic ==
IMHO the section is a bit on the biased side. All the anti arguments are listed, but none of the possible pro slash arguments. Additionally, the ending bit "Still, the Daria/Jane slashing persists, instead of less obvious slashing like Helen/Amanda, or perhaps male slashing like Kevin/Upchuck, each of which sadly goes unwritten while we read the 367th variation of a Daria/Jane relationship." is so dismissive of the 'ship that it suggests to the reader that nothing can be written about the 'ship that would be redeeming or even readable.
It was exactly this entry that led me to write LSBS. Whether or not you believe it redeemed the 'ship aside, solid stories such as Teenage Wasteland/ Four Play and Out on Vacation suggest, to my mind at least, that the pairing shouldn't be treated as dismissively as it appears to me.
I won't touch editing this one (as it can be argued that I have a dog in the fight), but I think it does bear some consideration...
