The internet has unleashed some unexpected things on the world, one of which is the popularity of Slash Fiction, where people take real and imaginary characters and write their own stories about them, taking things in an extremely erotic direction. A large percentage of these tales are gay-themed, with some of the most popular featuring boyband members who may profess to be straight in real life, but get very, very gay in fan fiction.
A TV series in the waiting, Truth Slash Fiction, takes a long, hard look at this phenomenon. It’s got a great reaction from those who’ve seen the pilot, but so far there’s no word of whether it will become a series. As you’ll see from the pilot, it’s not afraid of laying on the gay action, which has made some feel it’s more likely to find a home on a streaming service than a traditional TV network. We’ll just have to cross our fingers and hope it gets made, as it does like like it could be good.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Truth Slash Fiction” is an irreverent dramedy that follows 16-year-old Emma Jacobs as she navigates the indignities of adolescence. Through it all, Emma clings tightly to the songs of the boyband “Truth”: a One Direction-style supergroup whose romantic earnestness is Emma’s only refuge from the often cruel and anxiety-filled social interactions that make up her world. Emma’s love of those sultry-voiced boys leads her to join a group of like-minded fans who channel their devotion in an unusual way: they write slash fiction (ie “gay erotic fan fiction”) involving the band they love so much.’
