It's funny, cuz some of the slashers are just as anal as the het...uh, ters. It's absolutely bizarre. I mean, seeing their self-proclaimed 'flame wars' is one of the most frustrating ways you can possibly use your time. They rant, rant, rant, and still never manage to get a point across excepting the fact that they've just made themselves look even more like a fangirl/boy than they already had before.

But regarding the FF stuff: it's funny, but there's that whole span of time while they're in SOLDIER that isn't witnessed, so a lot of people abuse the hell out of it- the basis for most Cloud, Zack, or Sephiroth oriented doujinshi out there ends up being in that small stretch of time. So there's your place in canon xD I don't mind it, personally. I happen to have quite a bit of Z/C doujinshi sitting on my computer- one of my favorite circles (I'm still not sure if it's a circle of psuedonym, actually) is Yubinbasya. Their artwork's just so damn pretty.
