I've never seen "bob" before at all. Huh.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Because books.

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's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
"Bob" isn't widespread.
Damon is the awesome evil vamp on VD.
Tuna is not chicken.
Ah, so I got my gen definitions wrong, then, because I was actually describing bob? So then gen is totally casefile focused?
It's ... a gray area.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I think in Bob, the sexual/romantic part is more than incidental while still not the primary focus. Nutty's Six of One is distinctly Bob, while Big Pink's Red is more gen, despite both containing het.

I would say not.

I'm pretty sure Cashmere called me on saying "Brokeback Mountain slash" which is why I know I'm not alone, but I have no idea how not alone I am.

I think I wouldn't describe BBM fic as slash, but would Jack/Ianto.
But that's more a source diff than anything.

What do you see as the difference between them? I mean, they both canonically have M/M sex.

And Plei says it way better than I. It's there, it's a part of it certainly, but it's not The Thing. Six of One is a perfect example and precisely the kind of story that makes me wish that Bob was more of a real label and not a ... hopeful label by people who realize that there can be more to a story than 1. No Sex or 2. Sex.
