Slash shock, shamelessness, and a rec

Slash shock, shamelessness, and a rec is a meta essay by Ellen Fremedon. One of its points, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, is that because slash has become so widespread in media fandom, that bad grammar has now taken its place as a hallmark of 'shame'. 
This essay also discusses Id Vortex (which Ellen first defined), shame, crackfic, and the effect of fanfiction on mainstream literary fiction.
The story that prompted this essay was MirrorM*A*S*H.
This post is discussed at Making Light: Squick and squee by Teresa Nielsen Hayden.

Slash versus non-slash

Slash versus non-slash is a 2000 post by kira-nerys to the Usenet list, alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated.
The original topic was a Star Trek: TOS story by Gamin Davis called The Loneliness of Command, but this is soon overshadowed by other things.
==The Original Post==
kira-nerys wrote: 
==Some Topics Discussed==
MANY fans chimed in with their responses which included:
* The Loneliness of Command and the author's long-standing and vocal opinion that her story (and all of her fanfiction) was gen
* what makes a story slash or gen
* what makes a story "girly"
* who gets to decide what a story is about, the author or the reader?
* was it required that a writer get a heads-up regarding the posting of negative feedback on a public mailing list?
* was Harlan Ellison a good teacher? a bully?
* should fans have to self-censor language on an adult mailing list?

Slash without the slash: A ramble on how I finally came to understand het slash

Slash without the slash: A ramble on how I finally came to understand het slash is an essay by Gwyneth Rhys.
"What the hell is that? you may ask. Well, I did too for a long time. Straight, or het, slash is a term I've heard people use for a while, but I never understood it. This is as good a theory as I can muster."
"...slash, for me, has long been about that underlying relationship that should never be public..."

Slashatthedisco

slashatthedisco was the first and largest LiveJournal community for posting Panic! at the Disco slash. It was created just two days after PATD's first album was released.
According to the community rules, no off-topic posts are allowed, and every fic posted must have been beta'd by someone with a livejournal account. Plagiarism is also specifically mentioned as a bannable offence. (Despite the beta requirements, slashatthedisco has a reputation for low quality fic.For example, a comment on fail_fandomanon advised someone just getting into bandom to "Just skip the teenie feeding grounds like slashatthedisco." 2012-12-15)
A related community for off topic posts, satdcompanion, was created in July 2007. (Accessed 11 April 2017)
As of 2017, the community has 22,308 posts; 329,700 comments; and 4349 members. (Accessed 11 April 2017.)
==Shipping and Fanfic==
Although posts have since been deleted, making it difficult to confirm, it appears that the community started gaining momentum in early 2006 and posting frequency increased dramatically over the course of the year. Like many other RPS livejournal communities at the time, fic writers tended to post either short standalone fics or individual short chapters as they wrote them. A variety of ships were posted, though Brendon/Ryan was the overwhelming favorite. In addition to all possible intraband ships, PATD members were also shipped with Pete Wentz, William Beckett, Gabe Saporta, the occasional MCR member, and the actor who played The Groom in PATD's first music video (Daniel Isaac).
