Background
Slash fiction is a genre of fan fiction (fiction concerning characters or settings originally created by others) that portrays
sexual or romantic relationships between two characters of the same sex. The term takes its name from the use of the "/" slash
used to separate the names of the paired characters, as distinct from the "&" ampersand conventionally used to separate the
names of characters in friendship fiction (which portrays characters in non-sexual relationships). Slash fiction is written
primarily by women and targeted to a female audience.
