Querstrich (the German word for the "/" symbol) is a German-speaking, multi-fandom slash mailing list that began on ONEList. They encourage discussion of all forms of slash fan fiction as well as slash, yaoi, original fiction, m/m, f/f and RPS.[1] Stories can be posted in either German or English and are archived at GSSU (the story archive of the mailing list), but discussions are held in German.[2]
Querstrich was first conceived of at a fan gathering for another mailing list (one for European fans of The Sentinel). The mailing list members gathered informally in person every year, growing in number to be like a small convention. The last one was held in May 2011.
From their main page:
GSSU is the archive of the Querstrich mailing list.In the beginning Querstrich was a German slash list, accepting all fandoms and all (m/m-)genres. Lately we decided to broaden our horizon and allow yaoi and RPS. Stories can be posted in German or English. Same goes for interesting articles or spoilers. The discussion should be held in German though.
Because of the adult content of the list, you have to be 18 years or older to subscribe.[2]
