This feature explores the global subculture of Slash fiction, a genre of fan fiction where pop culture/media fans write stories about their favourite characters or celebrities being involved in a homosexual, romantic relationship. This documentary delves into issues such as the motivation and inspiration of the Slash fangirls, and how women from different countries have their own takes on the theme of fan-created male-male romantic pairings.
