Most slash uses characters from live-action tv shows.
Slash looks for evidence in the original series that two charas are devoted to each other before sticking them in bed together. Yaoi will pair charas together regardless of how they feel about each other. Several factors have led to this blurring of the vocabulary. A number of fan artists like Ozaki Minami went pro, and being pro had to use original characters, but their pro work still looked the same as their yaoi work. The work was by fan artists but you could buy it in a book store and not at a fan sale.
