Slash: Difference between revisions

In a curious alter-ago picture at the end of the TV movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]],'' [[Lindy]] and [[Alison]] were depicted in a scene on a farm with a number of children, implying that they were a lesbian couple with a family. [[Crusading Saint]] used this image as the basis for his story, "[[Love, Reign Over Me]]," arguably the only slash shipper given some form of support by the TV show.

 

 

 

Given that the ''Daria'' series offers almost no support for any same-sex coupling (see [[Homosexuality in Daria]]), slash stories are of necessity creative in their choice of partners. They have been written about characters who usually have antipathy for each other ("[[Quinn's Nights at Casa Lane]]," "[[Writes of Passage]]") or don't even know each other in canon ("[[Bar Fly]]"). Some are clearly alternate-universe tales, rewriting the series as a whole to incorporate lesbian or gay relationships ("[[Pause in the Air]]"). Science-fiction and horror fanfics carry the creativity further—sometimes very far indeed ("[[The Alpha and the Omega]]"). Same-sex characters can even have sex together but not be homosexual ("[[Witches' Flight]]"). The genre has even been taken to unconscionable extremes in terms of parings, such as Daria/Quinn liaisons ("[[Night of the Storm]]", "[[The Winters of Those Gone Before]]").
