Slash.
What is Slash?
The typical defanition for slash is A homosexual pairing or experience shared between members of a Band, Group, Television series, Movie or cartoon (Anime etc). , for those who didn't know.
Slash History
Apparently 'Slash' originated from the Televison show Star Trek with Kirk and Spock as the pairing. It was published in a fan magazine but instead of using names the author used 'him' and 'he'. It then began to branch out to Starksy and Hutch, The Cure and, now, Green Day. It is named slash because of the '/' seperating the two names in the pairing. Most slash is written and read by women in their late pre-teens, early teens and up to their mid 20's.
Slash Catagories or 'Slashagories'
Slash comes in its main form which is a fan fiction.
Drawings
Edited photographs, usually edited to seem as if the two featured characters are embracing in a kiss or giving each other a 'Suductive' look.
Femmeslash is a pairing between 2 females.
Alot of slash includes violence, bondage, angst and sometimes rape.
'RPS' stands for Real Person Slash.
Ratings
Each Slash storie should be accompanied by a rating. Ranging from:
G- Which would probably be hand holding, 'I Love You' or a peck on the cheek.
PG- A more pashionate kiss, touching or mild profanity.
PG-13- Making out, Kissing in further detail, profanity, mild violence the suggestion of sex.
R- Drug use, Mild/Medium amounts of sex scenes, profanity, medium amounts of violence or the suggestion of rape.
NC-17- High, graphic and explict amounts of sex scenes or 'hardcore' sex scenes, rape, bondadge and everything featured in all the other warnings.
Examples of Slash
He felt his hand move from his hair, and fingertips brushed his shoulder, making him shiver slightly. The hand finally settled just under the other his shoulder blade, warm against his exposed skin. - Taken from a NC-17 story of B.S.H.
Harry Potter Slash- A PG-13 drawimg taken from Deviantart.
They've got slash now?!
I've seen: Green Day slash, MCR slash, FOB slash, Harry Potter slash, Back Street Boys Slash, The Mighty Boosh Slash, Star Trek Slash, Bam slash, Dr Who slash, Robots In Disguise femmeslash, House slash and even Spice Girls slash.
Every band, TV show and Movie has their own slash category now.
I think it's because todays society is becoming more comfertable with homosexuality.
Slash is dirty, perverted or disgusting,
It's freedom of speech.

Slash is a rather interesting topic.
I agree with the statement of 'I think it's because todays society is becoming more comfertable with homosexuality.'
That probably is the reason why it's so out there. People aren't afraid to show that they're all for it these days.
