If there were more novels out there like At Swim Two Boys, I'd probably read less fic. Great story, wonderful romance, good sex. That book had it all. Pretty rare, though.
The main reason I read slash, though, is because I want to read more about my favorite characters, so there's no comparison between fanfic and an original novel. The latter will always be lacking if what I want to read is more about certain characters.
