AH! That comes from this / symbol. It's roots are in fanfiction i.e. Spock/Kirk. (Spock SLASH Kirk). Denotes two men together.

Thanks for the explanation, Cup. :)
Giingerwoman - if you take a look at Forbidden Fruit you'll see lots of great examples of slash writing. :)

Mmm...slash...smells like a western version (with some exceptions let's not get into that discussion now) of yaoi.
Me likey very much.

Yes, exactly. Interestingly enough, they developed independently, around the same time period.

I really don't think slash is the same as yaoi. Not that I know much about the latter, but certainly what seems the accepted standards, it smacks more if inequality in yaoi. Or maybe I'm just too naive and hoping that slash isn't as girlie as yaoi seems to me. :lol:
cupnjava- 11-02-2006
Yes, but it still smells like yaoi.
Some yaoi is girlie and shallow. Insulting and sterotypical, but some of it is quite moving.
Slash probably is more equitable, but there's something about the painfully and impossibly beautiful long-haired ultra sexy men in yaoi that keeps drawing me back. I cringe at some of the characterizations, but I love looking at them.

*grins* Well, damn. That sounds about like every man I write! LOL (And if I even THOUGHT about them being girlie...I'd be in serious trouble with them. LOL)
