My house has been invaded by scary people! (decorators come to make the spare room Sunshine Yellow.)

Had P2 today. Twas easy. Naath found a link for 'Pern/Discworld crossover slash' by searching for 'discworld "slash fanfiction"'. We didn't check it out because fanfiction.net is filtered from school, and she'd promised not to read lots of slash in front of me anyway.

Uhm, that's about it for life right now.

The capital letters on that paint colours sounds.. a little ominous..
And how *Do* you get Naath to not read slash in front of you?

[firinel.livejournal.com]

what would be the problem with her reading it in front of you anyway, unless she's reading it outloud?

I don't think most slash I've seen comes illustrated, so maybe you wouldn't notice if it was slash she had on her screen or not.

I've not got a problem with most of it, but I remember Chess used to get disturbed by it. Mind you Naath's taste is a lot wider than mine, I don't like harry potter for instance, and she does like the graphical stuff, so yes, you can see what she's looking at..

Re:

if its graphical, isn't it just porn then, not slash?

[sath.livejournal.com]

I think it's still slash. Pictures of snape and whoever engaging in something painful.. definately slash.

The art I tend to like isn't that explicit... the stuff I read is.

Chess' problem isn't the existence of it, it's me sitting reading a 700 page document while she watches.. and I tend to pick up 1/2 way through something that I was reading previous so she can't even read it (not that she wants to anyway)... she gets bored...

So I did spoon, and deleted email...

Generally speaking, porn is more 'realistic' (often photos/movies rather than drawn works - they tend to be 'erotica' instead), and between complete strangers (just random people) rather than recognisable characters from some fandom or other. Graphical slash is generally drawn, or created using photo-manipulation on stills from relevant movies/TV shows, and is always between two 'characters', usually from some kind of fandom, usually as an adjunct to a body of written works.

(How can you tell I've been talking to Naath too much recently?)

Re:

lol.

I just wasn't aware that there was graphical slash, I suppose. I have to admitt that it was only just this year that someone informed me what slash actually was, and I believe I only asked because either Sath or Naath were talking about it on SP.

[chess]

It's not the fact it's slash that's the problem, it's the way she sits reading these massive documents and completly ignores you... the situation was, I could get one train straight away and not have any time to chat, or I could stay for an hour to talk to her, but I didn't want her sitting and reading stuff and ignoring me the whole time 'cos that would just be pointless and boring.

Most of the time at school she reads slash in front of me all the time, but I have other stuff to get on with.

[chess]

You ask nicely :). Oh, and threaten to go away if she does plan to read lots of slash and hence be boring at you.

That's not the actual paint colour, that's just what my mother said we were going to have.
