Erotic fan fiction is a genre of writing in which fans make up erotic stories involving characters from non-erotic stories. "{{w|Slash fiction}}" is a subgenre that pairs characters of the same sex: These pairings are denoted by using the "/" to separate the paired characters, hence the name "slash fiction". This convention is generally thought to originate with the {{w|Kirk/Spock}} pairing in {{w|Star Trek: The Original Series|''Star Trek''}} fan fiction, wherein "K/S" was used for such romantic or erotic works of fan fiction, while "K&S" was used for non-romantic works. This comic imagines a similar distinction being necessary for "''Strunk & White''" vs. "Strunk/White". | Erotic fan fiction is a genre of writing in which fans make up erotic stories involving characters from non-erotic stories.
