'Slash' Sites a Forum for Fan Fantasies is a 2003 article by Corrine Alstrom which was printed on September 22, 2003 in the Montreal Gazette[1] and in The Sherbrooke Record (titled "Slash fiction").[2]

The article opens by describing a teenage girl who writes "a scene in which the two band members are gay lovers", and states "For many teenage girls, writing slash fiction is a way to examine issues of sex and sexuality."[2]

The article was also published in the Victoria, B.C. Times-Colonist (as "Hooked on Slash Fiction"),[3] in the Calgary Herald (as "The Steamy Side of Slash Fiction")[4], in the Ontario Expositor (as "/slash/fiction/")[5], and on the Young People's Press website (as "Slash Fiction Grows on Internet Underground").[6]
