marguerite_26Newsweek attempts to answer the age old questions:
What the hell is Slash? and Where the hell did it come from?
I'm rather impressed at the accuracy of the article.

Some stories—including many tales centering around "pon farr," the overpowering Vulcan mating impulse introduced in the episode "Amok Time"—are almost unbelievably explicit, but most are primarily about the creation and maintenance of a romantic relationship.
I have this wicked desire to see what exactly makes something "unbelievably explicit". *g*

You either find something interesting and enjoyable or you don't. The slash side of slash...*shrugs* definitely not something you can explain if people don't see it. People have all sorts of different explanations for why people are into slash, but really there isn't a single slash-type person so no one theory would cover it.
