What is this site about?

This site will be an attempt to give you information on original slash. Original slash fiction (or yaoi) is fiction about or featuring a m/m sexual relationship between original characters, that is, not pertaining to any fandom. So if this is not what you're here for or if you have a problem with same sex relationships, you're in the wrong place. 

Why original slash?

Like so many slash readers, I got my introduction to slash several years ago in the X-Files fandom when, lucky for me, that was a meeting place for the best slash writers. When I started to lose interest due to the waning quality of the show and the departure of my favourite actors and fanfic writers, I found myself losing interest in slash altogether. I just could not get into any other fandom. But then I found original slash.

Very happy to have found something that rekindled my interest in slash, I now encountered a different problem. Where could I find all those wonderful stories with original characters? As a former X-phile I was used to figuratively swimming in good slash stories since it's a very prolific fandom. But that's simply not the case with stories featuring original characters. 

I was lucky enough to find sites with whole lists of slashy "professional" books for me to read, but it sometimes wasn't obvious to me why they would be considered slash or exactly how much slash content they contained. Other times I found recommendations for books, but not where to find them. But the most grueling part was finding good online original slash. I found those stories are very hard to find. 

So this site will be about original slash with short reviews of books I've read (and where to find them, or perhaps discuss them), links to a lot of sites with original slash fiction and links to other recommendation sites for both books and online writing. 

This will be a growing project as I'm always on the lookout for the some of the better fic out there. So if you're aware of a writer, book or link that you think I'd be interested in, I'm always listening. In the mean time I think I've assembled enough links to some very good stories to keep you occupied for a while. But don't just take my word for it. By all means, explore! ;)
