So I've been wondering about slash. Most people on my flist read slash, in some form or other, so I'm assuming a few of you have opinions on the matter as well

I actually define a slasher as someone who sees two boys and go 'ooh, they'd be good together.' You don't have to actually read or write slash to be one, in my opinion.

And I don't really know you, so hi!

Ooh, that's a good point. Of course, they'd hardly be concious of being slashers ;) but they really do fit under the idea. Maybe it should have been anyone who reads or sees slash.

Hi back! I realize I sort of drive-by friended you and never introduced myself - very sorry, but glad it didn't freak you out and send you running!

Yep, I agree with caten. But can I ask you: how do *you* define slash?

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Since I was lame and replied to my own poll you could find out just by viewing answers, but I'll just tell you - I define it as any m/m or f/f pairing. Just because that makes it easier for me to google what I want.

Hee, honey, we agree!

I slash anyone and anything that moves. Like penguins! And random stars who has never met each other! But I rarely read much slash anyone, which is bad :(

I do tend to go a bit O.o whenever someone friends me, but frazzles assured me you weren't dangerous so in the end I decided to friend you back! :D

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Not read slash? How do you survive? ;) But yes, I understand the random oooh, they'd look pretty impulse that seems to make on a slasher; it's a perfect way to waste time when waiting somewhere crowded, like in a queue!

I'm glad I qualify as relatively harmless - would hate to think I'm scaring people away! :-D Glad you friended back

[caten.livejournal.com]

I RP it instead! Or write it, but I haven't done much of that lately, either. And ey, it's a perfect way to waste any time. I do it constantly >.>

Well, so far you haven't tried to kill me, at least. ;)
