I agree that long fics might be the best kind of M/K for people who don't ship the pairing. I need a long fic, preferably with a complete AND believable character arc. The issues between the two men seem nearly insurmountable to me, and most short stories don't convince me, probably because they are written for an audience who doesn't need convincing.
I don't know if TXF ever had that many polyshippers to begin with. I'd like to think there are people out there who want to discuss interesting fic, regardless of the pairing, or lack of same. But length is an issue for a lot of people who read here. I prefer long fic but sometimes I hesitate to post something in any genre that's too long because I'm worried no one will try it.
As I said to andrea_deer, I would be willing to give "Ghosts" another chance since (1.) she liked it and (2.) it's a fandom classic.
