But on the Internet, many slash fi ction authors. Though this particular fan practice authors refer to Philip and Shawn as “Phawn,” from this particular subject position is defi nitely combining their names to denote the fact that they a minority among a wider slash community, its have recast them as two halves of a highly romantic, authors constitute a vibrant presence within that erotic, even pornographic pair.

SOAP SLASH opera texts are appropriated and used by these narratives wherein the characters engage particular gay male soap fans. in homosexual sex, they donʼt necessarily narrativize these encounters as the basis for Gender, Genre, and Slash Fiction a sexual identity. Rather, for the slashed characters, “The whole issue of … sexual Constance Penley and Henry Jenkins have both orientation gets resolved in an idea of cosmic written extensively on slash fi ction, though neither destiny: the two men are somehow meant for examines the fan practice in any depth outside of each other and homosexuality has nothing to do heterosexual female writers slashing Capt.

Nevertheless, slash fi ction, questions of sexual identity are their work provides a useful starting point for foregrounded by the very nature of the subject this discussion. Penley uses a psychoanalytic positions they occupy, as well as the long history framework in her examination of K/S slash fi ction of gay male under- and misrepresentation in to argue that the fan practice offers a diverse range television programming.

Like Penley, Jenkins argues that slash fi ction As loyal as the women fans of Star writing is a fan practice that allows women Trek have been, they have always been to reclaim texts in which female characters vocal about their disappointment with are underrepresented or in which traditionally the women characters….There is bitter feminine interests in relationships and romance disappointment that these women of the go unaddressed.
