'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, they're getting a lot of flack from the fannish community over the "no slash" thing. (Turns out they just don't know what slash means and their intent was to say "please no stories where we have sex with each other," but they still haven't actually corrected the page yet.)
ION, Al and Tipper Gore have separated! Nooooooooooo!!
So far, every single thing on my to do list today is paperwork.
DO NOT WANT
?!??!?!?!? oh please no John Edwards-esque scandal. PLEASE!
So far, my idea for the contest is that it's a dream or fantasy of a cat, who happens to be Mr. Bitey.
I don't remember - was Mr. Bitey in the Kick Ass comic? Or just the movie?

Scalzi's page is updated to say nothing explicit.
Forgive a newbie for asking but what is slash vs. what they intended?
eta: never written fanfic, but that pic makes it tempting.
In fanfic, when you use the virgule to separate character names, it indicates a romantic or sexual relationship. It comes from Kirk/Spock, and is where slash got its name.
Also, despite what any crazy people in that comment thread might say, "slash" refers to same-sex relationships, not m/f relationships.

I think the difference is that they don't want anything much over PG. They're open to "the general possibilities of m/m-liciousness" I'm guessing they don't want their genitalia written about.
I guess I should re-phrase the question because I still am not getting it. What is fandom upset about specifically having to do with their phrasing?
Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi are very lucky that I'm too busy and generally disinclined to write about real people especially where they can see it, because otherwise I would be all up in their genitalia with a unikitten, making everyone feel an uncomfortableness.
