Help. Enlighten me, please: what on earth is "original slash"? (And does it have anything to do with original sin, and if so, what are the fruit involved?)

I am *guessing* it just means queer literature, as in, non-fic writing that features a gay pairing. Which is a bizarre case of circular vocabulary and oversubstitution. Anyway, that's what I've always assumed.

that's what i would have (vaguely) guessed, too, but it's such a song of the wrong that. well. i'll go with that either way, then.

and not to get off topic or anything, but i do want to marry your icon and have its pretty pretty babies. which i think counts for original cross-species curtain-fic at least.
