P-C, just say "thanks for your input, and I will consider it. However, please remember that this is between me and our parents, and I don't want my issues with them to affect our relationship"
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I would like to say something like that. I was already really close to telling her to stop being the middleman and let me deal with them on my own unless I asked for her help. But now I'm afraid that responding in any way could go badly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it might be wise to simply ask her to let this be between you and your parents.
Having done daycare for a psychiatric convention, it is ridiculously apparent that there is no magical medical parenting bullet there. Hoo boy.

Another work explores a romantic encounter between "Star Trek" characters Spock and James T. Kirk.
OK, that's kind of hilarious. What would you call that - slash art?
P-C, sorry to hear that they've got your sister taking sides. What everyone else said. That email was cruel, IMO.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The general term for fan art is - surprise! fan art. Which, like fic, can then be endlessly and entertainingly broken down by fandom and pairing (if any) and level of explicitness (if any) etc. So in actual usage, you'd probably see something like "hey, $fan has been posting some brilliant/hot/disturbing/$adjective K/S fan art. Some of it's kinda NSFW."
(I've never heard "slash art" as its own term, but then again, "slash fic" as a phrase is kind of a big honking "I don't actually know anything about the stuff" sign.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It didn't read as cruel to me. Just someone who is in a house where she sees crying and pain and she blames you. She is completely wrong to blame you, but she doesn't know that.
P-C, if you can, I advise you to take the high road as much as possible. Reframe the discussion so it's not about "sides" or being a bad son. I would tell them you love them unconditionally. "I love you, I respect you, but I just can't do this ONE thing in the way you want. That's all." Don't do a flounce or be drawn into their melodramatic view of the world. It'll be hard, but it;s part of being an adult. They see things as all or nothing. You don't have to.

Huh? How else do you subdivide and identify it separately from het or gen fic? I see it all the time.

$fan as James Franco is still cracking me up.

I rarely see the word "slash" appended by "fic" in my circles.
The fic part is treated as understood. (Sometimes, I do see "slash vid" however.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is Guns and Roses fic called "Slash slash"?

Hmm. In my head it's how it's separated from fanart and vids. I may be projecting, though. I have very little interest in slash fanart, so I do care about the subdivision.
Googling the term gets 161,000 hits, so it's not rare.
