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.

OH yes. When I was 13, I was writing these secret little stories in my notebooks about the guys in Def Leppard. *cough* What? I was thirteen and lame!

I didn't discover it was called 'slash' until I got the internet in 2000, but I was certainly writing it before then, albeit secretly. ALWAYS secretly. Discovering that other people loved it was like finding paradise on Earth.

You know, you'll find that a lot of slashers loved slash at a young age and were predisposed to it from the get-go almost. I find that terribly fascinating. It's almost like another sexuality (like homosexuality or heterosexuality). Something you can't control, it's just who you ARE. I'd love to see a study done on it.

I think a study on this would be very, very interesting. The slash is as part of me as being bi or being a blonde *G* It was always there -- though it was all quite secret until I started posting my Due South slash when I was 18. I've also been very lucky to have two very open-minded friends -- one who is pretty much as into the slash as I am, the other who may not actively be a slasher, but certainly isn't squicked by it.
