Yes...Im a big reader of slash fiction ....mostly in the Stargate SG-1, or NCIS fandoms

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 19:16

Yes, I read quite a lot, mostly Buffy, Dr Who/Torchwood & Bodie & Doyle

Umlellala · 05/02/2009 19:20

I've heard of it. My old flatmate used to write it. Epic scenes involving two male characters of The Bill. Well, each to their own and that...

Monkeytrousers · 05/02/2009 19:22

I had never heard of it! I'm reading a book about it though.

Never heard of it before but Wiki reveals all!

Out of interest rusty and shanks, are the ones you read about the male ones shagging? Or do they have other ones with opposite sex? Just interested really...

I've heard of it through Mumsnet (I've learned more here than I ever did at university). I'm not that keen on it, but perhaps I just haven't read any good stuff.

shanks313 · 05/02/2009 19:27

Male for me tum tum

There is femslash too

tumtumtetum · 05/02/2009 19:33

Hmmmm interesting...

Wonder if that would be my cup of tea...

On the face of it I'm thinking not, but you don't know until you've tried

is it on the internet?

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 19:44

Mostly male esp the Torchwood, as they have a head start with Captain Jack & Ianto! But some of the Buffy is femslash.

DH writes Captain Scarlet fanfic, with some crossovers into other Gerry Anderson & Dr Who, but definitely not slash, rather to my relief, bearing in mind that most of his characters are actually puppets. In fact it must be pretty difficult to write any sex scenes for say Captain Scarlet and Rhapsody Angel - you'd always be wondering how to stop the strings getting tangled.....

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 19:50

I'm currently working my way through this lot - but I should warn you that a high percentage is excruciatingly bad....

And in case anyone is actually interested DH's early work

Monkeytrousers · 05/02/2009 20:17

I'm going to have a look

DH's early work?

Isn't it supposed to be by women for women?

Franny once posted a photo of her spare room that was suspiciously full of printed matter

morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:20

There is Thomas the Tank slash somewhere

Monkeytrousers · 05/02/2009 20:21

printed efemora?

I might have known you'd be into it MP.

OP posts:
morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:23

yes you have it there

morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:23

not ME

but I have friends

Apparently there is Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie slash fic! hoho

RustyBear · 05/02/2009 20:28

MT - like I said, DH doesn't write slash, just standard fanfic.

Well, as standard as you can get when your characters are all a foot high and made of wood.

But he does write under a feminine name, for no reason that he has ever satisfactorily explained ....

morningpaper · 05/02/2009 20:32

WHAT? Bill and Ben slashfic? That is just wrong

oh LOL
it's me of spare room fame

notquitenormal · 05/02/2009 20:35

I have some friends who write a lot of it. One started with Buffy and then expanded into original characters. Eventually puslished with an erotica small press.

I'm not a fan of Slash or any kind of Fan fiction in general, but there used to be a site dedicated to the worst of it, Godawful Fan Fiction, which I liked for a laugh.

melpomene · 05/02/2009 20:36

There was a hilarious puppet sex scene on the Thunderbirds spoof 'Team America: World Police'. Just tried to find it on Youtube but it doesn't seem to be there.

tumtumtetum · 05/02/2009 20:36

MP Rusty's DH writes captain scarlet fan stuff...

She said earlier!
