They’re talking about fanfiction, which in most fandoms predominantly include gay shipping

To be fair, fanfic doesn't have to be about alternate relationships. It can be just fixing the studio/corporate butchering of a working lore, or going in directions that are legit but aren't interesting enough for movie/TV writers. And some of the fanfic crowds are VERY particular about consistency.
Fanfic for Star Wars prequels is pretty incredible. What could have been. And sure, that includes relationships.

Maybe I just don’t get it, but I just don’t see there being anything vaguely inspiring of that sort of chemistry between the caracters of that specific show. Other duos in other shows, ok, but Sherlock just seemed so far from that dynamic.

Not to be confused with Slasher film.

Wanna bet both OOP and her sister are prolific Sherlock slash writers?

My God, this almost feels cathartic when someone expresses your feels so perfectly. I genuinely thought I was mad because everyone around me thought Sherlock was the peak avatar of that franchise. I thought it was cringe and was rank with #iamverysmart vibes throughout the show.

Reminds me of The Last Jedi.

I had never heard of slash until I ran across mentions of it in USENET back in the day. Not my thing, but it certainly tells you how deeply committed the Star Trek fanbase can be.

And some of those stories have some pretty challenging ideas involving Greek letters that I’m not sure dad is equipped to handle

Joke’s on you, dad wrote an Omegaverse Spirk fic when you were still just a twinkle in his balls.

[not really off topic, but kinda]
“The 7% Solution” by Nicholas Meyer [who also directed the movie]
Fantastic story. Holmes’ cocaine habit has become a full on addiction. It’s up to Drs. Watson and Freud to cure him.

Some slash fics are still epic stories in their own right! Good luck finding a good one that gets finished, though.

Fan fics.
Oh wait you said 5, not 15. Ummm…really gross stories with lots of kissing and cooties.

I was thinking he was missing a very clever dad joke he could make.

I appreciate that dad knew what was up. It was older code, but Slash is eternal.
