Oh, what I meant is how does one label a Demian/Barnes fic, for instance? It's not slash by my eye, but it's hardly het. Just gay.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I'm so confused. Who are they? And they're both gay canonically?
I should just go take more meds and go to sleep, probably.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Fic is sometimes labeled "bob". I dunno why. You got your slash, femslash, het, gen, and bob.
If the focus of the fic is about Demian and Barnes' relationship set in the SPN'verse, it's slash. If Demian and Barnes, though gay, are characters in a casefile fic, it's gen. If Nick and Nora Charles are in a casefile fic, it's gen. If Nick and Nora Charles are in a steamy het romance, it's het. If Nora and random other chick fall in lust in the SPN'verse and there's a story focused on their relationship with a casefile as background, it's femslash.
Then there's genderswitch, kink, yadda. I'm still very unclear on bob, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Someone explain "bob" to me, please.
A story that might incidentally contain relationships or sexual situations but isn't a romance or focused on a pairing.

Demian and Barnes are the gay LARPers from The Real Ghostbusters.

Ah, so I got my gen definitions wrong, then, because I was actually describing bob? So then gen is totally casefile focused?

I've never seen "bob" before at all. Huh.

Oh, them! I saw "Demian" and went a Vampire Diaries place, but he's Damian? Or something?
Actually, ignore that. I need to go be quiet and watch Idol.

"Bob" isn't widespread.
Damon is the awesome evil vamp on VD.
Tuna is not chicken.

It's ... a gray area.

I've never heard bob before. Now I want to take my slash definition question to the fanfic thread, because I know I'm not the only one who uses it for non-canonical gay only, but I have no idea if I'm prevalent or not.
