Speaking as a practitioner-my slash manips can be found here-I perform textual analysis from an aca–fan (academic and fan) position of two Merlin slash manips by male Tumblr artist wandsinhand. This article continues the tradition of moving beyond fiction by considering the non-written form of slash manips, yet to receive sustained scholarly attention. Non-written slash forms such as slash vids (see Russo) and slash fanart (see Dennis) have received increased attention in recent years. Remix has been well acknowledged in discussions on slash, most notably video remix in relation to slash vids (Kreisinger). While fandom is indeed “women-centred” (Bury 2), such definitions have a tendency to exclude male contributions. Slash has been defined almost exclusively as a female practice. Slash (see Russ) is a fannish practice that homoeroticises the bonds between male media characters and personalities-female pairings are categorised separately as ‘femslash’. A slash manip is a photo remix that montages visual signs from popular media with those from gay pornography, creating a new cultural artefact.
