After DH - I've noticed a change in my reading habits. I'm reading quite a bit more het and gen than I ever did. More than that, I'm writing more het and gen than I did before. I've even experimented with making some of my favorite slash pairings into het pairings and vice versa.

What I'm curious about is if you all have done the same? Are you reading more het? Are you reading about new characters? Are you shipping new ships? Have you changed your preferences around?

And what better way to ask this than a poll?

My reading habits have changed to include more gen and het, but probably only temporarily. There have been a ton of gen fics coming out post-DH because I think a lot of writers (and readers) just want to fill in some plot gaps or settle their feelings about a certain character, both of which lend themselves to gen fics, I think. And because obviously JKR's canon pairings are all het, I think we're getting a lot of het fics dealing with those since they're sort of top of mind. And I'm reading them (when I normally read very little het) again to sort of make sense of my feelings about them in the book.

However, it's been less than a week since I finished the book -- I think after a bit more time has passed, and I've read enough gen and het to settle some of the questions/issues I have with canon, I'll go happily back to my slashy ways. ;-)
