Some fannish musings

mctabby who mentioned it on her LJ, I've been spending some quality time browsing the Death-Curse Archive, a truly delightful source of fanfiction that makes your mind boggle.
Since the first time I read a fic on said archive (which happened to be Ginny/Remus slash), I've been addicted. Yes, I am addicted, and am not ashamed to admit it.
Hardly ever during my history as an active fanfiction-consumer I have encountered such a variety of spelling and grammar mutilations (forget ff.net!), such abuse of language, characters, and webspace. The positive thing about these stories is: they're short. The authors don't waste time with such redundancies as plot development (or plot in general), characterisation or coherent dialogues. The stories are short and to the purpose, the language in its simplicity achieves almost poetic qualities ("He pounded again and again. She twitched and cried: 'Oh yes, pound me again and again!' He called: 'You bitch like it when I pound you again and again!!" I'm paraphrasing. But not much.), and besides, how many slash stories have you ever read in your life that feature female ejaculation? Hm?
I must admit, I am quite baffled as to the exact definition of 'slash' on Death-Curse. So far, I have come up with two options: slash means a) stories that feature graphic sex or b) stories that feature anal sex, preferably performed on (female) virgins (who ejaculate in the process). I'd dearly like to ask the authors, but am a bit worried that I might receive a not-quite-informative "u SO SUKC bitch dont flamme i cum adn fuCK ur ASS!!111" in response.
( Behind the cut are some Death-Curse goodies. For those among you who've got nerves of steel and a good friend to fall back on when it all gets too much. )
