"Generalist" is the first thing that came to mind for that that even sounded vaugly right, mostly because I thought there was a one word name for the idea - same with hetador.
I was more looking for a term to call a story that was in no way gen, like a Buffy story with a Buffy/Giles pairing as the focus. Not that I'm wrtting such a thing, but it's fustrating not knowing what to call it.
But you're right about non-cannon parings able to exist in a gen story.
But 'Shipper? Seriously? But if that's the way the anime fandoms is drifting, I can see it happening.
