I'm so glad you enjoyed the recs. As I said, there are plenty of fics out there with F/M in them but very few where they're actually a pairing in all senses of the word.
It's interesting, the parallels you point out in your own fandom. It's odd, isn't it? Someone, somewhere declares that '_____ Pairing' is the pairing and then it's set in stone. And I don't know about ST but in LOTR fandom, there is a group that spends a great deal of its time writing dissertations on why they're right. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing but when you're dealing with faulty logic and willful blindness and then those who are easily led just blithely follow along, it can make for a good deal of frustration.
And trust me -- I'm not going away any time soon. ;) I've got a F/M fic going now which gets all kinds of hits, so I know people read it... they just don't admit it. ;)
