Slash Fiction

Kurtni:

Janie Jones:

I read it, write it, love it. I really think people make way too big a deal out of it.

That's quite easy for you to say- no one has written explicit, sexual stories about you.

But I don't know that I'd be particularly offended if they did. I mean, it would obviously be quite weird to come across such a thing, but as long as there was a clear disclaimer that it was all made up and no harm was meant, I really don't see that it's a major problem unless a person has specifically asked that nothing be written about them (or their characters.)

its fun. Fun to read what people can come up with. I don't think that slash is wrong in the sense that well, c'mon, we're all creative and we like to imagine things. Psheesh, admit it. But i do think, that if i were like, lets say in My Chem and i'd get to read some waycest or frerard, gay slash, i dno, i'd either laugh or be disgusted.

Question. Is slash fiction just books or an it be like music?

What do you mean, do people write it about musicians? Because the answer to that is yes. People write slash about just about everyone.

Ok, nevermind. I just looked up what it was and I was WAY off.

I find the hard-core stuff abit dirty....esp when 12 year olds write them,
but I wouldn't kick up a storm about it......

This is the first time i've posted here since the slash thread was closed down.
I see it as a means of self expression, just through writting passionate literature with characters that people are acquainted with, be it ficional [dr who] or non fiction [green day]
At the end of the day it's not meant to offend or be an actual reflection on people's personal lives, it's just a style of writting, like any other.

Self expression? But you're not expressing things about yourself, you're writing explicit stories about other people, often times without their permission. "Passionate literature" is a very nice way to describe some of the disgusting writing that falls under the category of slash- I refuse to even call some of it literaure.

Writing something completely false and libelous about someone without their permission is never ok in my opinion, regardless of what was "meant" by it.

You're expressing your own style of writting, that should be encouraged, it builds character.
You're just writting about characters - as I said it's not meant to reflect their personal lives in anyway, and the stories always come with a disclaimer, so no comparrison can be made..
I do agree with the fact that a lot of it can be explicit - I don't believe that the original purpose of slash was to write, in detail, about them actually doing it, some stories do go too far.
