Perhaps 'Not all slash writing involves gay characters'? The 'character name/character name' convention is used for het pairings too. Even though 'slash' is often used to differentiate m/m from m/f or f/f pairings, technically it's all slash.

[stainless]

Ah. I've always heard people use "slash" (and/or "fem(me)slash") to refer specifically to gay pairings and "het" to refer to straight ones. So I thought the commenter was saying something like "slash fic is not like real life." But I couldn't tell exactly what feature of real life she was referring to, hence my question.

[(Anonymous)]

She might well be. That was just the first thing that came to mind.

And you might get different definitions if you ask a different person...my understanding is that there's been quite a bit of debate and confusion over the terminology. Typically though, you're right, when most people say 'slash' they mean m/m.

[(Anonymous)]

Character name/character name is used for both, but in this day I can't imagine someone using the term "slash" to refer to a non-gay pairing. I vaguely remember the definition applying to all pairings once, but it was way back when I was a kid. I can't recall the last time I've seen someone, in any fandom, use it for a het pairing.

(I don't mean to say that you don't see it happen, anon. Just that I doubt it's a common occurrence, so it makes sense that people would be confused by the term being applied to non-gay relationships).

No. It refers to same-sex pairings. This has come up before, and it's been answered before. You can obviously think what you want, but I can think sand is tasty, too. It's not, but I can think it.
