In the comments they're discussing slash, including the question of why bisexual and lesbian women read m/m. I know some of you lot are better qualified to answer this than I am, so if anyone feels like wandering over there and giving them one of the many possible answers, or at least pointers to one of the meta groups that will talk to outsiders...

Mel Keegan is female but passing for male, no? Her target audience was meant to be male - ha! - and I think the publisher thought they'd prefer to think that.

Slash Study Day 1 didn't producce formal written proceedings but I think a fair amount of what was said is now webbed in various places. I should chase it up.
