“Don’t call mlm or wlw aka ‘gay ships’ in fanfiction ‘slash’ you weirdo”
Me:
Listen up people. Slash fan fiction does not mean gay. It means the pairing is romantic.
That’s all.
If you don’t want the pairing to be romantic then you dont use slash. Using slash helps people who want to find this ship or avoid it. Slash it not just used for mlm or wlw ships it’s also used for mlw. Slashfiction goes all the back to the beginning of fandom and fanfiction with Star Trek. Where writers would use slash for slashfiction to tell others this fic right here is romantically shipped.
