What does "non-chan" mean?
None of the participants are underaged. Probably, anyway. (I have no idea whether it would exclude, for instance, seventeen-year-olds.
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

"No, I'm not a paedophile, honest."
Sorry, knee-jerk response. What Katie said. In HP, usually "they wait to have sex until he's over sixteen".
Thanks Katie and Am-Chau, that makes sense. Not sure what it stands for, but now I know what it means.
Some of the stories out there are just plain scary. Sigh.
Chan is an anime term, like yaoi (which is male/male relationships). I think it's a Japanese word, but I'm not sure.
Bust had an article about women and anime this issue, it mostly talked about the writers and artists but fanfic and yaoi were mentioned.
Thanks Dana.
Now I can mainline the crack. I hope you're proud of yourself.
It's what I do.
In case anyone's interested, there's a reasonably sensible article about fanfic in The Herald (Scottish newspaper). Mostly HP, fairly balanced perspective, and doesn't mention slash at all.
There's an interesting poll and discussion about slash, and the definition thereof, up here: [link]
God, I'm so naturally conservative. Dammit, slash had a perfectly good definition! Come up with your own word!
