This research investigates in what kind of. It is ultimately this queer critical imagination that allows me to argue for slash fiction as part of a larger queer project that is necessarily engaged with queer potential and political imagination. This study pays close attention to Chinese slash fanfiction amateur female writers and their writing experiences. Apparently, there is also Harry Potter Slash fiction.

Elf Slash Sarcasm - A parody of elf-slash themed Tolkien fanfiction, featuring Elvish ways, Elrond's weakness, Boromir's breeches, hot Legolas/Aragorn action, and lots of fragrant alabaster skin. It is for this reason that Slash Fiction is ambiguous with Kirk/Spock, Tidus/Auron, or Cloud/Sephiroth fiction. It is adult, rated R or higher, and not for the easily shocked or homophobic. Critical queer imagination is not an overarching theory that explains slash (or queer creative works in general), but rather a gesture towards the impulse behind queer activism as well as a signal towards queer futurity. Slash Fiction is the portrayal of a perceived homosexual relationship between two lead characters in a popular continuity. The current, motion, and energy running through all of these nodes is what I call critical queer imagination. These nodes figure under notions of failure, embodiment, archives, temporality, and hybrid body erotics. Watching Slash was like entering a distorted alternate universe where predominantly white, male sci-fi fans evolved erotica from old-school science fiction/fantasy culture (SFF) and called it. The subject of inquiry for my thesis is slash fiction, a subset of fanfiction which creates queer identity, romance, relationships, sex, or desire where it.

I divide my thinking into a non-linear model of five nodes in order to open up multiple in-roads towards examining the queer work of slash without crystalizing into a comprehensive theory that would efface its nuance and particularities.

But without the pioneering efforts of many fan fiction and s. The subject of inquiry for my thesis is slash fiction, a subset of fanfiction which creates queer identity, romance, relationships, sex, or desire where it was not ostensibly present in the proto-text. Slash fiction and fan fiction in general has always been a derided part of the fandom community.
