Slash generally refers to male character; female characters together is usually called [[Fem Slash]].
Possibly due to its emphasis in canon on emotions and relationships, Supernatural became one of the major slash fandoms from 2006 onwards. It also has a very high proportion of [[Gen]] fic, although much less [[Het]]. [[Fem Slash]] is very rare.
Based on an analysis of over 35,000 stories fanfiction listed in the [[spnnewsletter|LJ Supernatural newsletter]], approximately 58% of Supernatural fan fiction is Slash. Pairings between characters on the show make up 36% and [[RPF]] pairings 21% of stories written. [[Image:Metafic1.png|left]]<br clear="all" />
For fic written up to late 2007, over 90% of slash was [[Wincest]]. By August 2009, this had dropped to 82%. In the seven month snapshot shown above, Wincest made up around 46% of fic with [[Dean/Castiel]] stories now comprising 47% . The remaining 7% was other slash pairings.
While proportions of the genres have shifted, absolute numbers of fics have increased as well – the growing popularity of Dean/Castiel has been additive rather than substitutive. As the line graph above shows, the rate at which Wincest and Gen fics are written remains steady. The snapshot period here had nearly 30% more fic being written per month than in early 2008.

Occasionally one or both of the brothers will be slashed with minor and/or recurring male characters; original male characters or characters from other fandoms, including characters that have been portrayed by either [[Jensen Ackles]] or [[Jared Padalecki]] in another tv-series or movie (e.g., Sam/Jake from Devour, Sam/Alec from Dark Angel, Dean/Dean from Gilmore Girls). (See also: [[Crossover]]).
