A List
One of the most rapidly proliferating genres on the Internet is "slash" fiction—fans fantasizing romances or erotic encounters between their favorite characters, such as The X Files' Mulder and Scully, Star Trek's Kirk and Spock, or even (you sick bastards) Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie. But the oddest one we've found is devoted to a love that dare not speak its name between—you guessed it—Sen. John Kerry and his presidential running mate Sen. John Edwards. (Their touchy-feely stump appearances have only stoked the fire.) Until right-wing pundits devise some Bush/Cheney slash in the name of bipartisan smut—at which point we intend to vomit—we'd like to suggest subjects for future slash. Send examples to editor@nashvillescene.com, and we'll run them on our Web site.
