Is Guns and Roses fic called "Slash slash"?
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The fic part is treated as understood. (Sometimes, I do see "slash vid" however.)
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hmm. I didn't explain well - I don't mean talking about slash, but about the particular phrasing. I see a lot of people with no knowledge of fic-producing fandom who use the whole phrase "slash fic" as a kind of freestanding thing. "OMG Y'all! Someone posted A SLASH FIC about Hardison and Eliot! Can you believe it? HAR!" Within fic communities (and I'm phrasing a little awkwardly to include the range of readers/writers/reccers etc), the tendency is to talk about fic as the thing, with slash/het/gen as markers, often among a pretty dizzying array of other subdivisions: "I'm having trouble finding good Leverage fic I haven't read; I'm mostly into slash or OT3s, gen is good too, but I'm kinda squicked by Nate/Eliot...." Slash is absolutely an essential part of the classification, but the particular phrasing in the first example (which I sadly hear a lot outside of my lovely pieces of internets) always sounds to me like someone who doesn't know the culture.

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 did read some good Slash slash once.

Much like the epic Journey fic I was reading, I got to it by mistake.

Nah, having gay romance/relationships. Sex isn't required.

store-brand granola: I love your willingness to follow through on your epic mistakes. After all, someone has to report back about these things.
