I SWEAR I DID NOT START THIS CONVERSATION
Sep. 7th, 2008 08:17 pmDude #1: So you're saying you want Peter Pan/Tinkerbelle slash fanfiction.
Dude #2: That's not slash! It's not gay!
People I know in real life and who don't strike me as particularly fannish arguing about the definition of slash is a classic example of when the term 'horrimused' applies. Also, while I didn't start this conversation, I was responsible for the turn to genderfuckery by tossing out several cases of sexswap and genderswap and wondering if they qualified as slash (and yes, I know that fandom has had those discussions already, but it's kind of fun to fuck with the people who don't regularly consider 'woke up in a different body' as a case in need of discussion). Which is how I ended up yelling things like "Once we have magical sexswap, there's very little that I'm willing to take for granted!" in the kitchen at 3am.
If this entry leads to Peter Pan pron in the comments, I swear I will hurt someone.
