What does pre-slash mean?
Pre-slash describes fan fiction focused on a potential or not-yet-developed same-gender relationship between two characters. The relationship may be implied without becoming explicit in the story.
Some pre-slash works remain pre-slash throughout, while others serve as an earlier chapter or standalone story before a later work develops the relationship into slash.
