I'd call it "bad slash fic"
My thoughts exactly.

It's sexist to call it chick lit but admittedly you get the feeling it was written and the characters portrayed that way for its female readership.
That would be an entirely different point ;) I don't remember denying that those novels would probably more likely to be appreciated by female audience. On the other hand, I wouldn't have described using the same term as Pat, or Errant Bard did, either.

The male characters insult each other by saying "you're a fag!", the female characters exist only to adore the men and have sex with them, and racism and violence and misogyny fill its pages.
Lol. That would be the Dick Lit mentionned by Calibandar.

but I think it's not the writers who are interesting as much as what each type of "lit" says about its readers
I like both violent and action packing fantasy and the ones full of gay sex, fancy writing and emo moments. Am I bisexued? :p
