gemfyre | Slashity

Forgive me Lord for I have fallen. Into the world of fandom, fanfiction and sometimes even slashfic. Now, slash intruges me. It seems to be a rather recent phenomenon squeed over by many females but frowned upon by guys. I think it's kinda similar to guys fantasising about girl on girl action, but now it's become acceptible for us females to express similar sentiments and put our favourite male characters into such roles. Personally I find the large majority of slash is just wrong, the large majority of fanfic in general sucks. But I recently read one slashfic that was an absolutely amazing story as well as being titilating. So much so that I gratioutiously wrote and extra chapter for it last night (which I may or may not let interested people read).

EDIT:

kittikattie made a good point, which would be one of the key reasons most slash just wants me to dig my eyes out with a spoon and throttle the sicko that wrote it. My reply re: Eyes of the Jackal which had me in tears at the end. The only slash I've read/enjoyed was a Phantom of the Opera based slash involving Erik and Raoul - Christine decides to be free and lets Erik kill Raoul, only Erik doesn't kill him, and Raoul soon develops a case of Stockholm syndrome. It works because it develops the characters to act like that, not because they're gay but because of their loneliness and desperation.

And cuz I now have a paid account and can do it, tell me what you think.
