Here via Metafandom. This is interesting to me, because I've just started reading Dean/Castiel fics (and Dean & Castiel fics). And I've been trying to figure out what the preferred labeling system is. Gen, gen (but subext if you squint), preslash, etc. There do seem to be stories that have no more subtext than the show has, yet they're labeled as something besides gen. Do you think gen stories are labeled as subtext or preslash to get more readers? I'm going to read either way, but I'd like to know what I'm getting.
