This feature explores the global subculture of Slash fiction, a genre of fan fiction where pop culture/media fans write stories about their favourite characters or celebrities being involved in a homosexual, romantic relationship. Delving into issues such as the motivation and inspiration of the Slash fangirls, and how women from different countries have their own takes on the theme of fan-created male-male romantic pairings, it also takes a look at how the Internet has greatly shaped fan culture today.
