One might not be able to (or want to) imagine Captain Kirk, Agent Fox Mulder, and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the fodder for red-hot gay erotica, but for the burgeoning groups of writers known as “slash” or “Fan-fict” writers (mostly heterosexual women) pop culture’s most famous male stars are the stuff fantasies are made of. Largely published in print fanzines and on the web, slash writers have “elaborated the worlds they felt were ignored by the shows’ producers, ‘repairing or dismissing unsatisfying aspects.'” – Brill’s Content
