Slash. The bane of any good fan's appreciation of a story. It comes from a fan-author describing a fan pairing as So-and-So/Such-and-Such, most often a same-sex pairing. I first came across it when I was an Orlando Bloom fangirl and looking Legolas Thranduilion online. I would rather not say how many slashfics involving Legolas that I've seen.
I've always wondered why people write slash like that. Well, my sister came up with a theory a few weeks ago. Suppose you have a fangirl who likes two hot male characters from a story. She can't decide which one she wants to see naked so she makes up a story and pairs the two off.
It's disgusting, it's immoral, but I think that's how slashers operate.
