should we turn the Band Fic page into a redirect to this page? Also be nice to add some of the FBR bands. (I'm not a bandslasher, but far too much of my flist is)

I'm wondering if we shouldn't turn this page into a redirect to Bandom. That page is nicely developed, and, at least of this moment, starts out by discussing bandslash anyway.--zvi 18:41, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I would vote no about the redirect of Bandslash to Bandom: there is too much of a difference in both terms: the history and perspective of both fandoms as well as the meanings. I don't know much of the history of Band Fic to say. - wistfujane

The way the bandom entry is currently written, it is encompassing both the Fueled by Ramen sense of bandom and the fandom activity surrounding any musicians sense of bandom. What do you think bandslash would say that is different?--zvi 20:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC) (this is a reply to Jane's comment above.)

(Reposting this from the bandom discussion page) I don't agree. While the terms are similar and relate to the same subject of fic about bands and the fandom revolving bands, the uses of the terms vary enough that, from a glossay of terms sense, they are different in their defs. For example, bandfic is not a term that I, as a part of Bandom (the 6DW side) would ever use or have ever seen used (that I remember) in relation to fic. Bandslash however is almost always the term used by authors and readers to name fic we read/write (alternatively I've seen a lot more of the term "bandom fic" being used in recent months). As well as that, bandslash is more the term for the product of a band fandom, not the name for the fandom itself (I'm unsure, would the same be said of badfic? The name suggests so). So, while the three are very closely linked, I think the separate pages make it clear what the differences are, small though they may in some cases be, and because the terms are not consistently interchangeable like other terms (eg. genderswap and genderfuck and sexswap can all be used for the same fandom trope [though I have Thoughts on this too, that's another debate]). --Stepps 20:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

disambiguation needs clarity

Some of the targets are redirects and the whole thing is quite baffling. --msilverstar 23:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
