Editing Slash fiction (section)

==Other slash fanworks==

===Slash art===

In addition to fiction, fans also create [[Visual arts|artwork]] depicting media characters in same-sex relationship contexts. Initially, slash art was mostly used in covers and interior pages of fanzines, and sold to other fans at media and slash conventions.

=== Slash manips ===
In recent years, more slash artwork has used widespread availability of imaging software, like [[Adobe Photoshop]], to manipulate photographs of their subjects to produce romantic or erotic images (often referred to as ''slash manips''<ref>{{Cite journal|url = http://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/article/view/677|title = Slash Manips: Remixing Popular Media with Gay Pornography|last = Brennan|first = Joseph|date = 2013|journal = M/C Journal|volume = 16|issue = 4|doi = 10.5204/mcj.677|doi-access = free}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|title = Not 'from my hot little ovaries': How slash manips pierce reductive assumptions|last = Brennan|first = Joseph|date = 2014|journal = Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies|doi = 10.1080/10304312.2013.854872|issue = 2|volume = 28|pages = 247–264|s2cid = 144148482}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Brennan|first=Joseph|date=2016|title='If Duchamp's toilet can be a masterpiece…': Slash manips as fannish readymades|journal=Journal of Fandom Studies|volume=4|issue=1|pages=3–21|doi=10.1386/jfs.4.1.3_1}}</ref>) which imply a homosexual relationship, either as static pictures or animated GIFs. When the manipulated photos depict real people instead of media characters, the creation of these images can be as contentious as real person slash, and for many of the same reasons.

===Slash vidding===
[[Vidding]] has existed in media fandom since the 1980s, and slash vidding is still a popular movement within vidding.<ref>{{cite journal

}}</ref> Vidding used to be very guarded within the slash community, among other reasons, because the songs used in videos are copyrighted. When vidders started putting their videos online, their sites were routinely password protected, etc.

Today, there are thousands of vids, and vid-like projects, available on YouTube and other video sites.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf9oD_xl8mI TNG episode 15 – "That Jean-Luc Picard"]. YouTube (04 February 2009). Retrieved on 17 October 2011.</ref> Many of these vids are made by slash (and gen) fans, but enormous numbers of them are made by people who have never heard of media fandom. The previous secrecy of vidding fans has come to seem unnecessary, but there is still a community ethos of not freely giving out a vidder's URL.

===Slash roleplay===
Sometimes referred to as ''[[yaoi]]'' (male/male) or ''[[Yuri (genre)|yuri]]'' (female/female), roleplay involving same-sex characters in relationships can be either with [[canon (fiction)|canonical]] or original character creations. There are slash roleplaying based on ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', ''[[Supernatural (American TV series)|Supernatural]]'', ''[[Naruto]]'', ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' and ''[[Dragon Age]]'', among others.

There are many mediums used to approach the act of internet roleplaying including message boards, AIM, IRC and specially created chatrooms on servers. Some roleplay is very strict and requires players to be able to type a paragraph or two per each turn, some use strict guidelines involving roleplay dice and some are combinations of all of the above.

Not every roleplay community accepts slash, however, and some people specifically disallow the use of it in their community as not being canonical or simply the operators do not care for slash.
