[edit] Historical Definitions

The following term dates to December 2001 in the Harry Potter fandom:

/: When seen in fanfiction descriptions, it's a "slash"—a little symbol that indicates a pairing in fanfiction, usually romantic/intimate, for both het and slash fics. Like "Scully/Mulder" or "Mulder/Krycek". These days, it's more slash (homosexual relationships) than het. The character mentioned first is usually the more dominant/aggressive one (see seme and uke for additional info)—E.g., a pairing like "Qui-Gon/Obi Wan" would indicate that Qui-Gon is the "top" and Obi Wan is the "bottom" in the relationship (though this is not always so--there's apparently also something called "topping from the bottom"). This, of course, is highly subjective to the authors' preferences—there are no "fixed" positions for characters. See Slash for more info on homosexual pairings.[1]
