Slash Fiction And Real People

Thanks to a comment on Ms Naughty blog I’ve been exposed to the rather fascinating world of slash fiction starring real people.

A George Michael fan called YogChick has been posting raunchy erotic fiction starring the former Wham! singer on her blog. A quick sample:

George reached behind his neck and pulled his t-shirt off. Then he took off his sweatpants, revealing that he wasn’t wearing any underwear. He had a nice, natural build, shaven chest, and a partially stoked penis. George sat on the other end of the couch.

“Come here and blow me,” he commanded.

I don’t know much about slash fiction, except that it’s traditionally been confined to fictional characters like Kirk and Spock, or Harry Potter and… every other male character in those books.

Writing erotic fiction starring celebrities is an interesting, and possibly litigous twist. It also creates mental images that the reader may not want to have. Nonetheless, real person slash is a whole genre within slash that many people find appealing.

You can find a whole heap of writers and links to RPS at the Stranger Than… fanlisting.

There’s a bit of commentary on the phenomenon at this blog.

I’ve found an article, the ten most disturbing band fan fiction stories, which looks at the trend.

The article lists stories with the following scenarios:
Bryan Adams shagging his guitarist
Avril Lavigne being ravished by Kittie
Eiffel 65 getting it on with each other
Linkin Park, ditto
Blink 182, ditto

The writers point out that the majority of music slash fiction revolves around boy bands, rather than hip hop acts. Perhaps a new genre awaits.

There’s another article about band fiction here.

PS. A bit more Googling led me into the world of wrestling slash fiction. Now that’s funny.

   Um, I am the Yogchick you are referring to. You have an interesting blog and your article on slash fiction posits a lot of interesting scenarios and potential issues.

   For what it’s worth, I try to be respectful of George Michael. I also try to avoid scenarios that involve actual people in his life/family. I did, however, break my own rule by writing a piece of fiction of George Michael and his real-life boyfriend Kenny. The story is situated almost 10 years ago when they first met … I’ll leave it at that. Although many people responding to my poll want another GM/Kenny story, I’ve decided to leave it to just one story because it’s a little weird writing fiction that could be or not be the present reality.

   Most of my stories involve GM and a made-up fictional person. I don’t know how the legal issues play out in this new genre, but my intentions are true and honorable. If anything, I just try to make GM look like a rockstar in bed … somehow I don’t think he would mind!

   The only bump in the road I’ve so far hit is a request from the Administration of George Michael’s fanclub forum asking me not to talk about my erotic blog because every time I do they get bombarded with indignant/angry emails from other members imploring them to do something censorship-wise. They very nicely asked me not to talk about my blog in any of my posts, but they also wished me luck with the blog.
