Slash Fiction - The NSFW story

When I was a girl (not that I ever was girly) when you had a crush on someone famous, you put their poster on your wall. Sometimes cut their pictures out of magazines and put them on your school books with clear Duraseal. Many afternoons walking home from school filled with fantasies about a chance meeting and of course eventual marriage with said crush.

You may have noticed that todays youth don't keep anything to themselves. They live their lives online, holding almost nothing back. Even those afternoon daydreams about celebrities and rock stars now have a place online. These day dreams are filled out to short stories, well written and carefully crafted. Those stories would fall under fan-fiction, where you take your favourite celebs and write a wonderful adventure for them. It sounds cute and charming.

Slash fiction is another fish all together. Here the fantasies are imbibed with turbulent sexuality and adolescent curiosity. These are the "Kirk loves Spock" stories, the "Harry and Dracos magical experiment" stories and weirdly, "Every member from 'Panic at the disco' doing every other member of Panic at the disco" stories.

Yes, you can no longer just idolise you favourite band. Instead the youth feel compelled to write homo erotic fiction about them on live journal instead. My little social bookmarking site is rife with links to such stories. Interestingly most are written by females....

“Overwhelmingly, fan fiction is mostly written by women,” said Jenkins, author of “Normal Female Interest in Men Bonking,” an essay on slash fiction.

“If it’s okay for two guys to fantasize about two women, it’s an equal opportunity for women.”

(quoted from the naughty american)

Its a kind of "damn, there goes my childhood" feeling when I see the characters of my favourite books exploring their sexuality. And don't think your childhood characters are safe, there are over 72587 slash fiction authors on the adult fanfiction site. Chances are one of them wrote it.(Harry potter slash fiction is the most popular on the net right now as teen girls write about their childhood heroes) But that happens today, content is taken, thrown on its ear, with a bit of this and that added and presto its becomes something different, something inspired and original created out of the old. (ah Mashups) Sometimes, like a monkey with a hammer, nothing good can come of it. And other times, you accidentally get sucked into to reading an epic amount of pages before you realise its slash fiction and its about your TV show. And when you do, you keep reading because the writing is good and you have to see how it ends.

SGA fans recommended for cuteness of.
