Okay, I'm taking this opportunity to ask a stupid question: What is "slash fic?"
I see it referred to, but I don't know what it is, and I frankly haven't spent much time (none) reading fanfic.
Thanks for educating me.
There's no place I can be since I found serenity.

Slash fiction is fiction portraying same-sex relationships.
I tend to write erotica, but a substantial portion of slash fiction is not erotic, or even the slightest bit smutty, instead prefering to explore relationships from the emotional-personal side.

Slash fic is usually same sex pairings. There are too many good points made in this thread to copy them all here, but I would like to lend my voice to the chorus. I love to read fanfic (not just Firely) and while slash is not really my mug of mudder's milk, if you enjoy it you have the right to read it to your heart's content.

I've seen the sad underbelly of the slash community, so I'm constently questioning it.
Friend of mine got a big video threat cause she banned this child preditor, Who was proven to be a child preditor, who wrote Slash fics, with little kids in em..
Stuff like that.
Course I have an uncanny obsession with canon relation ships.. Very uncanny!

Firefly slash is just a bit weird for me...Mainly because there was nothing really that Slashy in the series to begin with. Except some of the Kaylee and Inara moments but that inspires fluffy thoughts at best.
I will admit to dabbling in the fluffly Slash area but it's all been band slash. A few bands(won't name names) pratically slash themselves. Now, my whole thing is, if it seems to Slash itsself or you can see a possible way those two characters could have a romantic relationship, then go for it! Just warn me, okay?

Gonna agree here. None of these characters worked for me as slash pairings. In fact, I have this vision of the men of Serenity all freaking out at the very suggestion of being 'sly' - much spitting of coffee, and spluttering.

Mal didn't have that reaction when Nandi suggested it... He was all calm about it, which implies that it's not a big deal at all.
I imagine the only one to freak out might be Jayne, but then, who knows?
I'd like to think that 500 years in the future men might be more secure in their sexuality than that.

I know, it was just the mental image. Perhaps River coming out with something calm and utterly inappropriate mid-mealtime...I imagine the Core planets are probably quite chilled out, but some of the Rimward planets, particularly those with a more religious outlook, might not be so enlightened.

Yeah, I get the feeling Jayne wouldn't be one to turn down a sex opportunity, although he might be a little opinionated about whos doing what...
And Mal's reaction to Nandi's question left plenty of wiggle room. "No, I lean toward womenfolk..." Just lean?
Though, I must admit, the first time I happened across a Mal/Simon (Before I knew what slash meant) I was horribly offended - because I want Mal for the women! Back off Simon, he's mine!
