I have said this several rimes about Harry Potter slash and Lord of the Rings slash, but now about WWE slash: I don't like it. In fact, I hate it more than anything. It's disgusting. What attracts people in slash? I don't get it. It's just sex, and no talent is required to write it!

Hmmm well...... I'm not really big on it myself, but some stories I've chanced to read have actually been really well written and quite emotive, so I think it depends on the writer themselves rather than the "slash" side...

Can I just verify to myself that "Slash" fic means that characters get it on with eachother in it??

I always associated it with homosexuality myself, along with the "getting it on" part, heh...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong? It has always confused me slightly, to be honest.

Well, I personally have nothing against fans writing out their fantasies about various famous people! Actually I think it's quite a compliment to those being written about!

Depending on what's written I suppose  I don't have a problem with it... I mean, if you don't like it, don't read it, LOL! |

Mmmkay! Good to clear that one up For the record my story idea with the "slashy theme" wouldn't take things that far, LOL... Then again I haven't really decided on it too much yet... |

I don't think I've ever actually read any slash stories, but I have a feeling I might be willing to try...  |

I've read a couple, I didn't totally like some of the themes but the more emotional part was what kept me interested... They had a bit of that submissive/dominant stuff going on, that's why... I'm not exactly a fan of that kind of thing |

Oh so a bit of bondage then?
Not really my cup of tea either. I'm more of a romantic

Yeah I think I might be as well, heh! Or more into subtlety... I'm not really sure...

some of it is pretty disgusting, but have read a few which were not at all crude and really sensitive, well written and emotive. But i'm not sure that i would read any about anyone i really liked, it would be too odd!

really? i haven't seen any League ones. I read some topgear (car programme, sounds crap but is actually hysterically funny) ones a while ago and they ranged from foul to unbearably fluffily sweet, but still a bit strange. 0_o needless to say that i couldn't quite see them in the same light again ;D
