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've been pairing guys up in my head since I was 8 or so.

Wow, man *G* I think I'm impressed. I never started doing any couples of any sort in my head until I reached the double digits. While I recognise now that I certainly had crushes on various TV or movie characters before, I was a bit of a late bloomer in not acknowledging these sorts of things until I was about 10. *g*
