Meta Monday: The Wave Theory of Slash

Fans often have their own theories about fandom, and one big early theory was the Wave Theory of Slash, which is this week’s Meta Monday feature. Originating from a 1993 essay by Lezlie Shell, the theory posits that any given fandom (or fan) progresses through clusters of tropes and styles of slash shipping, similar to feminism’s progression in “waves”.

The essay classifies slash fic into four waves:

Character-based stories with slash

Character-based slash

Slashing the characters

Multimedia slash

Each wave is further defined by four characteristics: the explicitness of a sex scene, the relationship of the story to canon, sexuality focus within a sex scene, and the writer's perceived relationship to the fandom.

Learn more about what defines each wave and discussion about the theory on Fanlore!

People, sorry for this random question, but I'm curious: I'm rewatching supernatural and I'd like to know if you see Dean as a top or a bottom (It doesn't matter who you ship him with, in this post we don't discriminate anyone)

Like 85% of my ships are gay ships. I promise you I don't have some kind of agenda when I tell you no, the source material doesn't actually have any canonical gay people in it.

“two men can’t be friends without people making it gay” oh they can because guess what? THEY ARE and me shipping them in my tiny little corner of the internet will never change that, you silly little tumblr people.

was wondering if this is relatable…

i know there was a moment when i began shipping zukka, same thing has happened with other ships. now i can’t remember that moment and it feels like i’ve lost a core memory..😰
