slash

[\lila phillips]

Okay, I have read some slash and it's been very
well-done. However, in general I don't prefer it.
Although it can't be done, it would indeed be nice if
slash were separated in the four houses, so that
everyone could get to what they wanted. Then everyone
could live in greater harmony.

Also, I would love to recommend the site to my
daughter, but I can't. I don't want her to know what
slash is right now. I could show her some of the other
stories, I guess.

One other thing: I have heard from some that they will
not come to Fiction Alley any more, because they have
to go through so much of the slash. I'm sure that some
of you will say, "Good riddance!" but I think it's a
shame. They are missing some good general fics that
way. 

In the interests of peace, maybe a button could be
added to show which fic summaries contain the word
"slash", and if desired, for search results to leave
out fics containing that term? Sort of a reverse
keyword? 

The fanfic world will grow a great deal once the new
book is published. I've only been around a little over
a year, and have seen this argument come up more than
once. Perhaps another possible solution to this
disagreement can be found before The Order of the
Phoenix comes out.

Please don't kill the messenger here - just trying to
help. I enjoy Fiction Alley a great deal.
