The term slash refers to stories in which a gay relationship between two characters is portrayed, whether the sexual part of the relationship is explicitly described or not. Slash generally refers to male character; female characters together is usually called [[Fem Slash]].
Slash fiction can cover any [[:Category:Fic Genres|genre]] of fiction. There slash relationship may not be the focus of the story, in fact becasue because of the intense relationship between characters like Sam and Dean on the show, these stories may be indistinguishable from [{Gen]] fic. In other cases the story may be all about the relationship. Some stories may contain no sex, or may have allusions to it, others are purely porn and are known as [[PWP]]s or porn without plots.
