Incest slash (between a parent and child, especially) is just WRONG. Yikes. ::Blech:: Slash is not my cup of tea, but still—whatever floats your boat. But INCEST slash is creepy. ---

It’s mentally harmful. And they do pop out of the computer sometimes and bash you good, but the police will never believe it until it’s too late. ---

I understand LOTR slash. But Harry Potter slash - the kids are like 11 in the first book! ---

**Sterra** - I am _ **SO** _ sorry I followed that link. In fact, I’m not sure it is entirely appropriate, as there are some rather disturbing discussions of sex with young (_young_) children going on on that board. ---

How old were the pilot boys in Gundam W supposed to be? I challenge you to find a _non_ slash fan-fic for that show. I think the fact that they are fictional characters gives fans a lot more leeway before it gets creepy- if I saw an erotic story about the _actors_ in the Harry Potter movie I’d be a hell of a lot more creeped out. ---

The GW guys are supposed to be 15 and 16. Anyway, most of the Harry Potter slash (well, even the non-slash) out there ages the characters. A great deal of them are set in 7th year and beyond, thus making the characters at least 17. Not quite the same as a bunch of 11 year olds. jessica ---

Um, what is “slash?” Porn? Oh well. It can’t be any worse than some of the wannabe _Star Wars_ porno fan fiction I’ve read. Blech. ---

Properly-written Balrog porn should provoke intense debates over whether or not it had wings. ---

Slash is not necessarily porn. Some stories can be explicit, but it’s not a requirement. The story linked at Something Awful is not explicit…just kissing. I’ve read it and it’s not that bad. But, uh, the incest thing? Ewww. jessica ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > **Um, what is “slash?” > Porn?** Well, yes, kind-of. The term “slash” refers to a method of cataloging fan fiction based on which two characters end up in bed. Originally, much of the fiction of this nature concentrated on Kirk/Spock couplings (note the slash mark) but in reent years, one can casually find Worf/Troi, Riker/Troi, Worf/Riker, Wesley/Guinan (I kid you not). My own fiction starts with a minor Ro/Barclay element, but over my six-story arc, they get well and truly broken up. ---

Actually, Bryan, since k/s, slash specifically refers to male-male pairings - straight pairings are referred to as gen. ---

Sweet Lord Jesus in platform double-suede. **OpalCat** , I went to the link you provided. I read the story and vomited; then my vomit saw the story and it vomited. True, the MST was hilarious, but the actual story itself was so gut-freezingly weird and evil that now I must disembowel myself to end this horror. On another note, I have no problem with slash. I just have a massive, galaxy-sized problem with incest, its perpetrators, and its…:shudder:…_fans_. This is fanfic that is not making Baby Jesus cry; it’s making Baby Jesus’ head explode. ---

And yet, I’ve yet to see disembowelments, crucifixions, and meltings with toxic waste in literature get this kind of reaction… ---

As a slash fanfic writer (Nick/LaCroix, Nick/LaCroix/Vachon, LaCroix/OMC, Kai/HDS, Kai/Prince…er, need I go on? 😉 ) I would _definitely_ argue that the Wrongness of Mary Sues far outweighs any other possible fanfic Wrongness.
