cat_greenmoon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ok everyone, so I know that you all love yaoi (you're here obviously) and this is the section for live-action BL dramas and such, so I figured I'd ask what you feel about slash. Slash, for those that don't know, is non-canon pairings for TV shows and movies that are not BL in anyway. (For example Draco and Harry [Harry Potter] or Morgan and Reid [Criminal Minds].) I know that I love it just as much as I do yaoi. So what do you think about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro+Chiral_Fan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (ok, just to start: Criminal Minds slash owns my soul right now and just reading your "Morgan and Reid" made me nosebleed XD) Slash was always a big part of my yaoi development and obsession. Once I knew about yaoi and starting pairing up characters form my favourite mangas, I, as many others I would think, started spending a whole lot of time on fanfiction.net XD And how not to fall on slash on that wonderful site, eh? Back in the day I read and wrote as much slash as yaoi. Nowadays I'm a bit more into yaoi, aside from a few still amazing fandoms like Criminal Minds, probably because I got bored a bit of the main fandoms out there (like Harry Potter, etc.), because I spent too much time in there XD Thing is, also, slash being unofficial, there's less material aside from fan work, no anime or official voice actors or dramas, etc. That can get a little bit frustrating after years of living only on fanfictions XD But I still love slash nontheless. *.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_greenmoon Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Woohoo! Another MorganXReid fan! My two biggest stories on ff.net right now are actually both slash stories. (One's Morgan and Reid and the other is Snarry.) Criminal Minds slash owns my soul as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro+Chiral_Fan Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Haha, indeed it's nice to meet another fan ^__^ I've been obsessing about Morgan and Reid for a long while now, ever since the episodes about Reid's past have been out actually. Something about how Morgan was always there and comforting Reid when he had his nightmares really touched me, and I felt in love with this pairing. I also started slashing Hotch and Rossi, in a way more platonic way though (since Morgan x Reid comes with a lot of sex in my mind XXD) because of all the events surrounding Hotch in season 5 and 6, and how perfect-gay-couple-like they look when they're together with Hotch's son~~ (even though Hotch gets a new romantic interest in the last season but meh, I don't care XD) Would you mind sending me a link to that Morgan x Reid fanfic you talked about? I'd be really interested in reading it ^____^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andro Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm okay with yaoi, I love it. But I don't really like slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_greenmoon Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 @Nitro - yeah no problem ^^ I agree with you about them having a lot of sex too XD Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links.

nicicia Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm cool with slash. There are only a few slash pairings I actually like and I only have a few ships XD I don't really read any slash fics though, except maybe Merthur fics. I've read a few of them. I like Destiel, and I think Marauder Era Sirius/Remus is really cute. I should read some fics about them. I have read some John/Sherlock fics, but I like their platonic relationship better. So I mainly just look for friendship fics. In series 4 of Being Human UK I decided I like to ship the new werewolf and vampire. Tom and Hal. I also like a few slash pairings in a couple of Asian dramas, but most people call them yaoi pairings, so I don't know if they count here XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_greenmoon Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 @nicicia - Well their technically live action so yes they fit into the slash category too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midorikun Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 uhm talking about slash.. does this include rl-pairings? japanese examples would be harutake (Miura Haruma and Sato Takeru) or inter-Arashi pairings like ohmiya, juntoshi, etc. i think u know what i mean.. if so, then.. YES OH MY GAWD I LOVE IT! xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_greenmoon Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 @midorikun - Um...I actually have no clue what your talking about. XD I feel out of the loop....^^; But we'll say yes, that they count too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midorikun Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 @cat_greenmoon ah.. well, i'm talking about real life slash.. like two actors having a "deep" realtionship (e.g. Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. - Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. ) or different pairings in a boy group ( Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. for example) i'm kind of obsessed with this stuff lately.. but shipping two fictional characters out of mangas etc., usually hating each other is amusing, too onion0 love gintama's HijikataxGintoki ♥ (my sig) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat_greenmoon Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 @midorikun - I wrote that wrong XD...it was supposed to be that I didn't know who you were talking about ^^; But yes they would count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

<3Gaara Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 It depends on the pairing, there has to be at least that small chance that the characters would get along for me to agree with the pairing, it also helps if there is a bit of tension between the character or if there are scenes where it hints at it, but doesn't actually do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toby2663 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I hadnt really payed it much heed however Morgan and Reid I hadnt thought about that,f#ck that just blown my mind, Ive been corrupted .Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 SLASH is when you use real actors to pair up, and it comes from non-yaoi works, right??? ".... I feel so violated now." T______T :5yoyo34: Tenimyu slash, enough said! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemme Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I love slash. I read in a few fandoms including Criminal Minds. Reid and Hotch is my favourite pairing. I also write football (soccer) slash occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
