I would like to take a moment to sincerely apologize to the slash readers and writers out there. The guidelines for the Summer of Sam Love fic exchange allow het but exclude slash which is totally unfair. It was also inadvertent; my other moderators would have caught the discrepancy if I'd allowed enough time for them to read the post before it went up.
If you refer to our first fic exchange guidelines they read "Also, we'd like to keep this gen (no slash, het, romance, etc.) and family friendly, so please keep your requests light R and under (no explicit sexual content, minimal graphic violence, minimal harsh language)." This year's guidelines should have read the same.
I'd like to thank the people out there who called this egregious error to my attention. I am not, nor have I ever been, homophobic but you wouldn't have guessed that by my post. Please know that I'm very soory for this huge blunder. It was caused by poor editing skills and my inability to multi task, not by any planned effort to discriminate against or marginalize the hugely talented slash writers and their readers.
