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]].
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 fiction can cover any ]] is very rare. [[Image:Category:Fic GenresMetafic1.png|genreleft]] Based on an analysis of fiction. There slash relationship may not be over 35,000 stories fanfiction listed in the focus of the story[[spnnewsletter|LJ Supernatural newsletter]], in fact because approximately 58% of the intense relationship Supernatural fan fiction is Slash. Pairings between characters like Sam and Dean on the show, these make up 36% and [[RPF]] pairings 21% of stories may be indistinguishable from written.  [[{GenImage:Metafic3.png|left]] For ficwritten up to late 2007, over 90% of slash was [[Wincest]].

The remaining 7% was other slash pairings.
Based on an analysis While proportions of nearly 30,000 stories fanfiction listed in the [[spnnewsletter|LJ Supernatural newsletter]]genres have shifted, approximately 39% absolute numbers of Supernatural fan fiction is Wincest. The [[RPF]] pairing of Jared/Jensen is second in fics have increased as well – the growing popularity.

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]]).
Although the pairing had been utilized from the beginning, after the airing of [[1.22 Devil's Trap]] on May 4th 2006 significantly more [[John/Dean]] fanworks appeared (possibly due to the chemistry between Dean and the possessed John). [[John/Sam]] is rarer. Both pairings often explore issues of authority and consent.
