Abstract

Slash fan fiction has been a focus of scholarly attention since the inception of Fan Studies in the 1970s. The main claim surrounding slash fan fiction concerns the queer and subversive motivations and potentials it is believed to actualize. In light of this, we have analyzed fifteen of the most popular works of slash fan fiction written by fans of the television series Supernatural (2005), Sherlock (2010), and Teen Wolf (2011), in order to discuss the perceived relationships between slash fan fiction and queer subversion.
