what is this slash fiction stuff I keep hearing about?
Google this: “Harry Potter Draco slash” Just about any link will give you a good idea of what slash fiction is all about.
For full effect, seek out any linked marked “NC-17”

That’s hilariously evil.
I love slash. I read it. I write it.
However, I think of it like seafood. Get a good batch and it’s the best meal you ever had. But let one bad piece slip through, and you’ll never want to eat again.
If you’re interested in seeing what good slash writers (or maybe “writers of slash”; the ones that keep you coming back for more are writers first and slashers second) can do, check out some of the stuff here*, where they cover the character Angel from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the eponymous series. An excellent example of femslash (non-canon girl-on-girl pairing), is [url=“http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1364838”]here, where some Discworld characters do their thing.
In any case, my point is that not all slashers are sick and twisted. Some of the best I know are happily married with families, jobs and a creative pastime that makes them happy. It’s not all bad.
I don’t think this was covered in the other thread, but I’m curious, is there a name for romantic stories about canon pairings? I mean would Utena/Anthy be femslash, or something else? (not sure that’s the best example as I’m not sure how blatant the expression of their relationship gets, but they would seem to be a canon couple).
Discworld femslash… read a good one on fanfiction.net, I’ll be checking that out…
We’re coming close to the 3-month cut-off here before it’s considered to be too old to add to this thread, so here goes:
My lastest slash fanfic that I’m writing:
Title: Pink Kryptonite
Author: Jeanster
Fandom: Crossover between Superman (Silver Age) comic books and the new gay Rawhide Kid
Couple this fic is on: Superman and Johnny Bart (the Rawhide Kid)
Rating: PG13
Summary: Superman becomes gay after becoming exposed to pink kryptonite. He dumps Lois Lane and then sets his sights on Jimmy Olsen. After Jimmy gently turns down Superman, someone steps in to fix Superman up with Johnny Bart the Rawhide Kid.
Author’s Notes: Based on the pink kryptonite that Peter David mentioned in his story “Supergirl: Many Happy Returns”.

Relationship stories about canon pairings is just “fanfic”, usually designated by the “name” of the ship or the initials. Like, for Buffy and Spike (my particular area of intersest) either S/B or Spuffy…
I wrote my very first slash story on Thursday night. What can I say? Now that Spike is on Angel, I want to see Spike on Angel…
Ooooh, may I read it?
I thought it all started with the first Trek series, but I could be wrong. Now everybody is a target. It’s all over the Net.
I’ve got my own Ro/Barclay fiction, but they break up by the third story (of six).
I think I found an Angel/Spike story a while ago-want me to see if I can hunt up the url?
I loves me some Star Wars pilot slash-although yesterday I found a REALLY juicy Anakin/Obi-Wan slash fic at adultfanfiction.net
Yum!
Wow. fans self And that’s your very first slashfic? I’m impressed.
Hot stuff.
“Dash”?
And I think someone else on the boards once posted an even greater puzzler: If you wrote a “Will and Grace” story where W&G have sex, would that be slash?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but are you thinking of shipper fan fiction?
Here’s an example.
And I thought I was the only one who worried about things like this. FWIW, I don’t think it would be slash. It would be het, but a rather strange and confusing version.
I’m a slash writer, as a few people know - but my OTP varies on a weekly basis. Currently it’s Remus Lupin/Sirius Black (much more canonically plausible than Harry/Draco!) but is subject to change. If I may go off on an irrelevant tangent for a moment, I hate the way gen fic (romance-free) fiction is overlooked, mainly because that’s what I like myself. You can do ridiculous things like cross over HP and Discworld (not that you can’t do that with slash, but it’s easier this way).
Thank you That story has got a pretty positive reaction so I might write more one day…
I’ve seen some Will and Grace het. I haven’t read it though, since I’ve only seen the show a few times.
The funniest slash I ever read was that parody someone mentioned here, “Gallant is arroused, Goofus is horny.” DAMN funny stuff.
