A place to order all sorts of zines.

Complete Kingdom of Slash
Just like it says.

the Nifty archive
This site contains gay, lesbian and bi sex stories, some of which are fan fiction but most of which are original. Much of it is written by gay men, so it reads much different than your local X-Files slash list.

The Renegade Slash Militia
Heart stopping banner graphics, good links and an assortment of interesting things. We're still not sure if they carry guns.


Fanfic resources

Slashcity
The epicenter of slash on the Net. Rec links, writing resource links, scores of slash homepages and archives and reliable web hosting.

Nifty's information page
Includes information on gay sex, male orgasms, etc. Not always accurate but usually entertaining.

Minotaur's Sex Tips for Slash Writers
If you're going to write slash, you might as well do it properly. This site could also be helpful for erotica writers in general. It is very graphic and contains pictures. Not recommended for those under the age of majority.

OK, we got that link from the site above.

This is a helpful site. Supportive, if you will.

BLAST @ Explode: Fan Fiction: The Irreverent Web Zine

Fiction links

The first (and still the best) archive for Oz slash.

SWAL (Star Wars Adult List)
An archive for all kinds of Star Wars slash.

Home of editorials, recs, links and Torch's fiction.

CABS discussions

Cereta's Fan Fiction Symposium
A place to discuss fan fiction. There's a column on us and we wrote a reply and that was pretty much the end of it.

Avocational Angst
Subtitled "Hey! You, with the attitude! Stay the hell off my side!" She even ragged on our site design. It's enough to make you stay up until 2 a.m. watching sappy movies and eating a gallon of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
