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 would say that slash is any actual or imagined homosexual relationship portrayed through media. I wouldn't necessarily say that it extends to real life, because I, personally, have never had the thought about REAL real people (as opposed, to say, famous real people) in terms of slashing them, you know what I'm saying?

Also, I wouldn't necessarily define a slasher as someone who reads only slash, or anyone who reads slash, simply because a) I'm definitely a slasher, but I like a good healthy dose of het every now and then (Eomer/Eowyn or Angel/Buffy being very good examples), so that throws that one out. And as far as anyone who reads slash... my mother's not a slasher but I know that she's read some that I've written. (Which is a whole weird thing in itself.)

Possibly should have specified it as anyone who reads regularly. You let your mother read your slash? Thatøs awesome. And brave.

I suppose most people do read het every once in a while too ;)

Yes, that was what I'd intended with the poll: slash in fandom/media, not just random HoYay/homoeroticism, which is fine and good in itself.

It wasn't that I LET her, it was that, like, it was saved on the computer and she DECIDED to. Oh well. I let my mom read my fic. It's all good. Although, I think most of mine that she's read has been the HP, but there was some stuff back in the day...

Not really a fan of random hoyay! so... I guess it just doesn't happen to me.
