If it's not a D&E pairing, I don't read it.
If the author isn't comfortable relating in advance that it is NOT a D&E pairing, then I don't read it until it is done and I have a chance to read the comments. Won't be fooled again.
I read P&P fanfiction for entertainment...non D&E is not entertaining to me. We each read what we are comfortable with.
Of course, all other characters are 'fair game'!
