*nodsnods* When I first started reading porny fanfic, I was reading mostly in Buffy fandom, and was reading pretty much every combination of Willow, Buffy, Angel, and Spike that there was. And I kept seeing it referred to as "slash", so initially I had no idea that slash was even specifically same-sex -- I thought it was any character/character, just something to denote that there was a sexual or romantic pairing in the story. It took me a long time to suss out that that wasn't the case, and how glad am I that I'm in the habit of lurking a good long time? Can you imagine if I'd posted somewhere looking for Buffy/Spike slash?
