[edit] Introduction

This is a BandFic fandom. Its existence as a documented community begins in June 2003 when the first Canadian Idol-related slash story was posted. Material for this fandom can be found several places on the Internet including FanDomination.Net, but is specifically located at Livejournal's ci_slash. [1] While it is generally accepted that there is not an off-line convention related to this community, many of the members have travelled together to various Canadian Idol events.

[edit] Kerfluffles

The Canadian Idol fiction community has gone through similar arguments experienced by other fandoms (author/character bashing, the definition of constructive critiscm, flaming, etc). ci_slash has adopted the "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" strategy, and involved members of kerfluffles have mostly appeared to leave arguments behind.
