Tara/Spike was one example (I never read any of it, so cannot summarize any reasoning/justification behind the impulse.)
Spinning a wild hypothesis here, to try to find a plausible rationale that does not boil down to something like "I don't like the gay and I want it to go away"; I have at some point somewhere in the vast volume of lj discourse on similar matters seen someone express that they found filmed sex scenes more charged if they involved actors whose gender preferences were other than those the characters in the scene were acting on; while I do not grok this charge by any means, I can see it as a basis whereby someone who wrote slash in the sense of canonically straight characters having gay relationships might also find canonically gay characters having straight relationships appealing.
