A Word About...Slash
Those who don't read fanfic and those who go "ew, gross" can depart now.

I don't really understand slash all that much; I don't usually get the concept of taking what is portrayed as a strictly heterosexual character and changing his or her proclivities. I've read stories that were very well written, but I just couldn't accept the concept with the characters. It doesn't upset me or shock me...I just don't get it because I don't see it.

I'm sure slash fans would say that's my loss. Oh, well.

I made a flip quip in my blog several months ago that I knew House had arrived in fandom because I had discovered House/Wilson slash. It was a big of an eyebrow-raiser then, but after seeing "Love Hurts" again and watching Wilson fuss over House's dinner engagement with Cameron...you know, I can almost see this one?

LOLOL You know what's funny... I've never been one to like slash either. But most of my online friends are into it, so I was exposed.. they knew it wasn't my thing and didn't push.. though I was nice and beta read a few stories.

BUT... Jack Sparrow/James Norrington. I dunno what it is... but for some reason the Sparrington works for me. LOL Its an intruiguing pair.

I also have found a few anime yaoi (Slash) pairings that I like.. so all my said friends are being nice and not saying "i told you so" LOL

Plus it is all over media West, so I've just stopped going euww.

I will admit to liking femmeslash. Hilary/Maple.. honestly.. kinda works for me. LOL :-)

(oh and said icon.. it was 2:30AM sunday night con time. Yeah.. we were loopy. LOLOL)

"Slash" is a fan fiction term for sexual feelings/sexual actions between two persons of the same sex. The names of the characters are separated with a slash / sign, as in Kirk/Spock, so it is called "Slash" fiction. Most fandoms, not just science fiction, have slash fandoms.
