Let's talk about SLASH, baby! Who do you slash? Who among the male relationships (or female relationships) on your favorite tv shows / in your favorite books & movies do you just KNOW are burning that special flame for each other? For instance: House/Wilson. Most married couple on tv, yes/no? I vote YES. Unless, of course, you think Logan & Weevil clearly had something going there for a while. Possibly like that thing Buffy and Faith had back in Season 3. Who would you just love to see express, once and for all, the love that must not be shown on Fox Network? My name is Aja, and I am from Fandom. LET US TALK ABOUT SLASHY THINGS, EVERYONE! :D

Since you got me on to this site (Damn you Livejournal and your friends page!), I'll have to pipe up and say, OF COURSE, H/D all the way. My intro to the world that is slashiness, H/D will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm so corrupted. And I love it.

I have read many slash fanfics and I have enjoyed them. I have written them somewhat in RPG format as well. One of my favorites is Harry/Draco. There are several good slash writers for that. I've read some great ones for Hercules/Iolaus, actually all the men paired off with the men from those shows I've seen as possibilites. Not to forget Xena/Gabrielle, Xena and Callisto etc. I've read some great ones with Spike/Xander, Angel/Spike, Angel/Wesley, Angel/Lindsey, you name it I've seen it paired but my favorites are the Spike ones. I've also seen some Daniel Jackson/Colonel O'Neil ones. Those were good as well. I've also seen several for LOTR with different pairings that were good.

My OTPs are Mulder/Krycek, Logan/Duncan (sorry!), and Mal/Simon (from firefly). I've got a couple more, but they're kinda out there, the love that dare not speak its name even on mylot, lol. Oh, and Angel? Big man ho. Did it with Oz just because he didn't make him talk about his feelings, wanted to do it with Doyle but never got the chance, did it with Wes until Wes stole Connor and broke his heart, and used to do it with Spike, but wouldn't anymore because he hated to give Spike anything he really wanted.

I'm absolutely wild for 2 pairings: Mulder and Skinner from The X-Files and Beecher and Keller from Oz. There's hardly any M/Sk fic anymore, but fortunately the B/K fic is still somewhat alive. Those are the only slash (in fact, the only fiction) I read. I'm not interested in reading fiction (of any kind) and romance is my least favorite fiction genre. I don't like most of the popular TV series and think most of the actors/characters on TV are rather ugly and very boring, so for me it's impossible to find any potentially good slash material to get excited about.

Wow, this is definitely my topic! I like Harry/Draco, Hermione/Ginny, Snape/Lucius (don't ask me why, really just don't because I dont know) Lucius/Draco (has to be really well written),Buffy/Faith, Willow/Tara, Hermione/Pansy, Ginny/Luna, Hemione/Bella (if it's well written I like the dominatrix part of Bella and Hermione's submissiveness). I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them at this moment,lol.

Y'know, it's funny. I see slash everywhere, and I do have some slash favourites, but nowadays I just don't ship-slash as much as I used to. I wonder why that is? But anyway! my SLASHY-GOODNESS 4EVE pairings: Fred/George - this pairing'll make non-twincest-lovers cry, because they really CAN'T deny their slashiness, hehe Tulio/Miguel - helloooo, gold-and-adventure-seeking boyfriends, ahoy! Even Chel knew it. David Copperfield/James Steerforth - I'm not sure how people could read Copperfield and not wonder if Steerforth shared a kiss or two with Daisy while they cuddled together reading books and eating sweeties. Legolas/Gimli - And I don't even like the books that much (yes, I'm a plebe), but it was even more obvious in the books than the movies, like. Wow. God bless lit born out of the Great War. Nightwing/Tempest - okay, this one is not based in canon, but purely on the basis of 'riths epic Sea and Sky fic series.

Oh good question! LOL I love slash! Okay back in the day I LOVED Buffy/Willow fic! And Willow/Cordelia (for some reason I just knew they had a thing for each other lol) Then there was Spike/Angel adn Spike/Xander..pretty much Spike was a fangwhore lol. I love fic with him and any male character on the show. Now I love Mal/Jayne (firefly, serenity) and Mal/Wash fic! Then from the same fandom I love Kaylee/Inara and Kaylee/River :) There are tons of them so I will end right here :D

Slash is romance fiction written by fans (fanfic) that feature a homosexual couple instead of a heterosexual couple. The term "slash" comes from the first popular slash fiction, which featured Kirk and Spock from "Star Trek." The pairing was listed as K/S (Kirk slash Spock). Male gay fanfic is usually referred to as "slash" and female gay (lesbian) fanfic is usually referred to as femslash. Romance fic featuring a straight (male and female) couple is referred to as hetfic.

Where is fandom?

Fandom is where the fangirls live. There is generally a lot of squealing over things, and a bit of analysis and arguably a lot of insanity. But we do it out of love, really. Love.

Yes, House/Wilson, yes. Also, I've never tried before, but I don't think I could breathe without a weekly dose of Harry/Draco. I don't have internet access at home, but I've printed out a few fics and read them if I'm finding the air a bit thick. Also, damn the Snape/Harry, it's so addictive!

House/Wilson, of course, is standard. Buffy and Faith = destructive but sort of hot, and um..... I don't watch Smallville, but I went through a brief but passionate affair with Clark/Lex fic back in the day, so I suppose that's up there as well. Bookwise: Alec/Richard in Swordspoint is canon, so I'm not sure if it counts. Legolas/Gimli is probably the most canon LotR slash pairing, with the possible exception of Sam/Frodo, except it seems to squick people. And for Harry Potter, Remus/Sirius all the way. I really need to read more western fandom slash, this is a sadly short list....

I wouldn't know about House and Wilson, as I don't watch the show (alas), but I was reading The Princess Bride some time ago, and to me it was rather clear that Fezzik and the Spaniard are a married couple too. The giant behaved exactly like I'd imagine my grandfather would if my grandmother wouldn't be here anymore, when he and Inigo got separated after being defeated by Westley. Talk about an old married couple. It's strange, because I don't remember noticing it when watching the movie, but I was young and still innocent and ignorant about the beauty of slash I guess.

Logan and Weevil totally had something going on. Also, Logan and Duncan sure were close for awhile there. And a whole lot of trouble could have been avoided if Lancelot and Arthur just went for a threesome. ;)

I was browsing on your lj and came upon this link, :D (God, the layout's so funky. ?style=mine has spoiled me forever!) From Hikaru no Go, Hikaru/Akira= OMG. :( So much love. I was so happy when I found out you've recently started writing more fics for this fandom. I fell in love with it years ago but I still haven't managed to move on; it's a fandom I keep coming back to. The writers are so awesome, the ART (canon or fanmade) is gorgeous, and the pairing is just. Gaaaaah. I love them so much it overrides coherency. From Prince of Tennis, MomoRyo= I'm so sad, because my OTP pairing has so few good fics. Also I cheat on it frequently because you TezuRyo shippers are insanely brilliant, wtf, so unfair. But it's like, after reading all this mindblowing novels that shattered you and rearranged your worldview, you go back to readingyour favorite childhood fairy tale for comfort. Momo softens Ryoma, man. From xxxholic, Doumeki/Watanuki= this is like my major fandom right now. Watanuki, omg, your heterosexuality is omg paztede on yay! They sacrifice so much for each other. and they snipe at each other a lot but deep down there's so much love and angst and concern and oh, oh, I love this pairing. I'm so sorry for spamming your thread. Only I can't squee at you properly over lj because I'm so intimidated, haha.
