Sometimes hobbies people can be extremely strange and incomprehensible to other people.Someone collects stamps and wrappers, someone builds ships of plastic bottles, well, someone is interested ... slash.Unfamiliar word?Well, let's deal.
What is a slasher?
better start, as they say, from afar.Have you ever noticed the desire for a change in the subject read a book or movie review?Let's say you did not like that in the "Lord of the Rings" is a happy end - much more interesting (in your opinion) would be if the master of the world was Sauron.Or, say, you can clearly see that in the famous "Potteriane" Hermione really in love with Harry, and not in Ron Weasley.
Surprisingly, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people experience these feelings in relation to certain works.Feeling the strength to write an alternative version of history - albeit not as voluminous and, to be honest, less talented - girls (and sometimes boys) take the case.Such are the fans' stories called fanfiction, and the people who write them - fikrayterami."But who is the slasher, and what does he?" - You ask impatiently.He received the answer: "We're getting close!»
not always fantasy fikrayterov runs in the standard direction.And instead, to come up with another nice story about Harry and Hermione finally get married, they give something quite incredible.In their view, the real feelings Potter feels not Hermione, not to Ginny, not even to Cho Chang, but to ... Draco Malfoy."They're both male!" - You exclaim.But nothing stops fikrayterov: so if they saw the love between the two characters, they will do everything so that they were together - even in a fantasy of the world!
This kind of fan fiction, which has a romantic and sexual relationship between people of the same sex are called slash.Where did the name matter?Usually in the header (product description) indicates Pairing (couple relationship which will be described).It looks like this:
- Draco Malfoy / Harry Potter;
- Frodo Beggins / Legolas;
- Sawyer / Jack Shephard.
slash called a "slash".It is hence the name.
So who is the slasher?First, the so-called people who write fanfics of this genre.A little later, when a wave of fan creativity became more extensive, so they began to call themselves and ordinary readers, fans of the slash.Today, however, this title is awarded any one who is able to see the romance between the two characters of the same sex in any product or film.
slasher create arts (paintings with images of your favorite heroes), video clips, compose and sing songs - just devote a couple of favorite almost all their free and not free time.
Typically, the adequacy of such people from the surrounding there are big doubts.These slasher able to see the "spark" even between the characters, not overlapping in the original world of work.Moreover, the majority of the students as the ever-increasing love for homosexual fanfic and artam appears obsession that all the others - gays and lesbians, but they are encrypted.
of the terms that operate fikraytery can make a huge list.Slasher is surprised by words such as:
- fandom - the so-called art world of the film / series / books / games, which are written fanfii;
- Pairing - a couple of characters, relationships which are described in fanfic;
- disclaimer - standard message that the work was created not for profit, and the characters belong to the original author;
- sammari - a summary of the disclosure without intrigue;

- varningov - warning of some of the elements that may be unacceptable to some people;
- fems-slash - slash view in which the main characters - a female;
- AU - alternate universe / reality;
- OOC - nature of the characters does not coincide with the canonical;
- RPS - slash with any real people.It may be punishable, but the actors tend to tolerate such manifestations of fan love.
And that's not all!Such terms - a great many, and they are fit to devote a separate article.
Community slasher is growing by leaps and bounds.The social networks created a lot of public groups and for those who dream of a wedding with Dean Winchester Castiel or the birth of several children at the Dr. House and James Wilson (mpreg - male pregnancy in fanfic - still has not been canceled).
typical or atypical slasher - whatever you call, and the essence is the same: they can not live a day without thinking about what Vince and Howard from «Mighty Boosh» or Raskolnikov and Razumikhin of "Crime and Punishment," all is well.And they find confirmation in endless fanfics, artah, videos and their own dreams.
Now that you know who slasher, asked: "And if there are any in my new hobby?»
