*g* It's part of a conversation that's been going on for a while. Probably a little confusing taken out of context.

Here's some backstory, from my blog....

(there's also been talk over at commodorified, which I think I linked all of in my posts....

*g* Somebody sent a bunch of fans into a bunch of pros talking about, you know, *our* concerns. Which of course overlap with fannish concerns, but don't map directly.

Basically, we object to non-slash-fans calling our work, featuring original gay characters, "slash." For the reasons I enumerated, and the ones truepenny did. We don't object to slash fans enjoying our work, and we don't even in particular object to slash fans calling what we do "slashy," though it might feel a little odd.

Is that helpful?
