oh, and inception has gone a little nuts with new fangirls lately. arthur/eames is the fave pairing. oh and the new bbc sherlock has brought out a heap of sherlock/holmes fics, as did the latest movie with downey and jude.
and a second on sga being v. popular
looks like the meaning of chan seems to have become more like just underage? when i entered fandom it was distinctly child/adult and not 16, 17, 18 child either, but more 12, 13, 14 child and sometimes pre-pub as well. hence the controversy.
also, are you going to bring yaoi into this?
oh, and the wiki seems to agree with my assessment of the term slash and states it much more clearly than i did, so this: While the term was originally restricted to stories in which male media characters were involved in an explicit adult relationship as a primary plot element, it is now often used to refer to any fan story containing a pairing between same-sex characters, although many fans distinguish the female-focused variety as a separate genre commonly referred to as femslash. The characters are usually not engaged in such relationships in their respective fictional universes.[3]
