I've never written an abstract before, but I think this is what you were looking for.
Straight Girls/Queer Sex
In my senior project I will look in depth at fan fiction, more specifically focusing my concentration on slash fan fiction. Slash fan fiction, like all fan fiction, are stories that have been written by fans of a particular book, movie, or television show that utilizes the already established characters from the original work into new fan written stories. Slash fan fiction, or slash for short, differs in that the romantic pairing in the story takes place between two males not linked romantically in the original work. For example the first and most well known slash pairing is Kirk and Spock from the Star Trek series. I will be looking briefly at the history of the genre and then I will move into modern theory surrounding the phenomenon. These theories include the popular belief that these stories are all written and consumed by heterosexual women, there are now more theories emerging that argue against the belief that the authors are indeed heterosexual. I will also look at theories that try to explain the presence of gay male sex in female sexualities. I will also find any information available that theorizes on the effects of slash fan fiction on gay male sexuality and add my own agreements, disagreements, and original theories into the mix.
