Your thoughs on Slash.

Kagoma:
Hi, Kagoma here, your resident slash fanfic writer. I was just wondering for a while now, what were some peoples thoughts on Slash. I've been writing it for a while now and I've found that some people seem to enjoy it, but that's just a few bit of people. Do you like?  Do you think its weird? Do you say far away from it as possible?

I want to know how the people feel about this.

Sakabelle:
I don't particularly enjoy reading slash.  I just find it...I'm not really sure.  (Wow, that was eloquent.  lol)

I don't have anything against people who write it or read it.  More power to you!  I read one really good slash story once that was Nick/Kevin.  It just seemed to me you had to dig through a lot of bad to get to a few original stories.  Of course, I guess the same could be said for any type of genre (Romance especially!)

This might also come from my days being an anime convention coordinator.  13 year old Yaoi (boy-love for those of you not in anime fandom) fangirls terrify me.

Although, there was a time when I was a huge Gundam Wing fangirl and would read anything that had to do with Heero x Quatre.  I guess as I got older my tastes just sort of changed.  If there was a really good slash story out there, I might try reading it. I don't think I'd ever write it myself though.

MellzBellz:
Slash REALLY doesn't do it for me, so I usually skip the slash stories. They kind of weird me out and I'm not the type who finds guy on guy action "hot" at all. I can't IMAGINE ever writing one or even coming remotely close to writing one. I've read maybe one REALLY good one in all my years in the fan fic world and I liked it because the story actually focused in on the effect that Nick and AJ being gay actually had on not ony their lives, but the group as well, so it was a lil more angsty than most slash. Even that though I skipped the sex scenes.

RokofAges75:
I'm not into slash.  I just can't take Bsb slash seriously; the few that I've read just made me laugh, but they weren't intended to be funny.  :-\

starbeamz:
I think there's only ever been one writer whose slash i could read just because of the way she wrote. unfortunately, she's off the internet now and her stories are gone *sniffs* the only reason i think i could read hers was because she didn't focus on the physical aspect of the relationship as much as she did on the psychological, emotional, etc nature of the relationships. plus, the stories always had much more involved than just the slash relationship. i wish Kid Sinclair would come back. she was friggin' awesome as a writer. i think she's my favorite fanfic writer probably ever...

i still love all of you on here, too!! i promise!! It's just that Kid had such cool stories, ones that always made you think, and most of her stories made me cry. Anyone who can make me cry with their stories is number one in my book. I think the only other author who did that was Mers with her Finding Brotherhood.

anyway, this thread is about slash, and to answer your question simply: No, I can't read slash. It will be a very rare day indeed when I can...
