Bwah hah.

Something interesting I read --

Kids shouldn't be reading or writing slash. And they are probably only
writing it because they've read it from some adult site or zine. I doubt
that they would have come up with the idea on there [sic] own.

*raises hand* Ooh! Ooh! I was writing Legolas/Gimli when I was twelve. Xena/Gabrielle when I was thirteen or fourteen. Fraser/Vecchio when I was seventeen. Of these -- only the Fraser/Vecchio after my awareness of the existence of slash online. And I would have written it ANYWAY.

So c'mon, people on my flist. Anybody else out there writing slash when they were underage and/or unaware of the existence of it as an actual "thing"? Tell, tell.

I was slashing Kirk and Spock in my head when I was a wee pup, and lied on a release to buy my first K/S fanzine when I was 13...I remember being so thrilled to find out about them because other people actually *gasp* felt the same way I did! That was a looooooooong time ago, well before the internet and its easy access.

I had the same experience, though I did not discover the zines till I was 18...thought I was a pervert alone in my perversion until then! *g* But I was slashing them, though not writing it, from the time I was a preadolescent, though of course I didn't know that term at the time...
