Editing Slash fiction (section)

===Real person slash===
Real person slash (RPS), also a subgenre of [[real person fiction]], involves taking a celebrity's public image and creating slash stories with them. Real person slash gained popularity with the 1990s rise of boy bands in the pop music industry.<ref>{{cite news |title=Slashing through the undercult |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2006/02/12/bocovers.xml&sSheet=/arts/2006/02/12/bomain.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071015081859/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=%2Farts%2F2006%2F02%2F12%2Fbocovers.xml&sSheet=%2Farts%2F2006%2F02%2F12%2Fbomain.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 October 2007 |newspaper=Daily Telegraph |date=14 February 2006 |access-date=24 August 2007 |location=London |first=John |last=Sutherland }}</ref> In the ''Supernatural'' fandom, slash fans who were uncomfortable with shipping the two main brother characters moved into writing and reading Jsquared/J2 fic (slash involving the lead actors [[Jared Padalecki]] and [[Jensen Ackles]]).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Flegel|first1=Monica|last2=Roth|first2=Jenny|title=Annihilating love and heterosexuality without women: Romance, generic difference, and queer politics in ''Supernatural'' fan fiction|journal=[[Transformative Works and Cultures]]|volume=4|date=2010|issue=4|doi=10.3983/twc.2010.0133|doi-access=free}}</ref> This led to the phrase "Supernatural fandom – where RPS is the moral high ground".{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}} Though increasingly common, RPS is considered a potential "squick" for slash readers.
