Hi Alex and welcome!

Mention away, but bear in mind that at the moment we're trying to bring in
title prefixing for some topics, such as 'SHIP:' for shipping posts and
'FF:' for fanfic-related posts.  I imagine slash-related stuff would fall
under one or the other of those most of the time.  As you run hpslash (I
lurk in a darkened cupboard there), I don't need to tell you that your own
club is the best place to go for those wall-to-wall slash discussions <g>.

For those wondering what 'slash' means, it's a term applied to same sex
pairings in fanfic and shipping.
