Coming here off being linked, I would have to say that I contest your definition of "slash"; in fact, this post is the first time I have ever come across it. The communities I came from, and moved to original fic from, used it simply to mean "homosexual relationship". Nothing more complex, nothing more nuanced, and nothing more important. There was no subversion, there was no reference to subversion, it simply meant "there is something of a sexual nature (even if that's limited to fluffy romance) between two persons of the same sex in this story."
