Most '''Slash Fic''' authors have historically been women. This could [[Sitch Sexuality|stem from the fact]] that the traditional Slash subjects are overwhelmingly male-dominated: if you want to write [[Fanfic]] in the style of a romance novel, and you don't want to use a ditzy [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]], you're pretty much going to have to pair two men, or invent a <s>[[Mary Sue]]</s> [[Original Character]].

The origin of the term predates the World Wide Web, going back to 1960s fanfic writers, specifically those interested in ''[[Star Trek]]'', who wrote "Kirk/Spock" fiction, pronounced "Kirk Slash Spock". In some communities, the ordering of the names is used to indicate a [[Seme|power]] [[Uke|relationship]].
