I thought the tone of the piece was kind of strange -- Annalee totally knows about slash, duh. I don't read io9 often enough to know what she thinks of her readership, though? I mean, it does seem like some of the commenters were like, "WTF?" and some were "ho hum" -- so perhaps she wasn't sure which way they'd take it.

I had the impression from something she twittered a week or two ago that she just sort of felt like writing a column about Dumbledore slash, though. :)
