A Mary Sue is a female fanfic character not in the original work, usually an idealized representative of the other, who can do no wrong, is beautiful, understanding, etc. Usually she either saves the day or the hero falls for her. Theoretically, a Mary Sue can be well done, but I’ve never seen any. They are just plain wrong! 😛 ---

Oookay…_takes a breath_ I think I can beat you all. I swear to you I once saw Calvin/Hobbes slash…which is arguably legit…as my friend casually dismissed it, “just a little boy masturbating with his stuffed animal.” …BUT I still find it disturbing. I think it’s somewhere here… [www.fanfiction.net](http://www.fanfiction.net) (which is, by the way, mostly an excellent site) Have fun. There are slashes aplenty here, if anyone else wants thread fodder. 😃 ---

And just as an addendum, slash is a GOOD thing, _in moderation_…at least that’s my opinion… ---

IF the link works - live journal seems to be off in a huff in the corner today - you can find Gandalf/Balrog slash here: [www.livejournal.com/users/cassieclaire](http://www.livejournal.com/users/cassieclaire) Some of the funniest stuff I have EVER read. I even have the t-shirt, aloof unavailable elf princess that I am. ---

I haven’t seen the fic that the OP was referring to, but as long as the boys weren’t actually boning each other, what’s the problem? Teenagers will kiss each other, it’s perfectly natural. Oh, and from friends who have been to British boarding schools, I know that boy/boy sex is normal and not even considered particularly gay. Some of the best fanfic out there is slash. The same-gender pairing automtically sets up some dramatic tension that is absent in straight pairings. The incest stuff, however, is icky. ---
