band fiction
n.— «Like any other literary art form, band fiction is not limited to one “type” of story. You will, however, commonly hear stories referred to as “het” or “slash,” terms borrowed from the world of media-based fan fiction. In het stories, the rock star falls in love with (or just has lusty sex with) an original female character—or his real-life wife or girlfriend. The term “slash’ applies to stories where a canonically straight character is paired off with a member of the same sex—homoerotic stories, in other words, or at least stories with homoerotic tensions running through them.» —“Band Fiction: Stranger Than Truth” in Ashevill, North Carolina 24-7 Press Release June 10, 2006.
