I’ll be around so you can ask pretty much whatever you want (short of plot spoilers). I’ve got pretty thick skin so you can be critical, if that’s your bag. I also accept compliments from well wishers...and baked goods are always appreciated. :)
Brandy Burre reads some of our favorite slash.
We were honored to have the generous and talented Brandy Burre (of The Wire) be a part of Slash The Movie, but we also really love hearing her read this bit of Supernatural slash called “A Rain of Feathers.” You can read the whole piece right here - http://laceymcbain.livejournal.com/231283.html.
And please don’t forget our Kickstarter - We’ve raised over $2000 in the last 24 hours, but we have a ways to go still - bit.ly/slashkick

Hi guys. You might know me as Corey from Teen Wolf. Believe it or not, I just filmed a movie called Slash where I star as a boy who writes erotic fan fiction!

Slash, the Movie
So, I know this is a bit of a detour from my normal fandom or meta posts, but I kind of wanted to talk about something that’s got fandom in a general uproar. Course, the uproar has nothing on like the Great LiveJournal Strikethrough of 2007. But … still. It’s a thing. And I’ve been involved in fandoms for nearly 20 years and have seen a lot of shenanigans. The current uproar? Slash, The Movie. Here’s the thing and I know it’s going to prolly get me flamed. As of right now with the information available to me, I totally support the movie and hope it makes its Kickstarter goal. *ducks the cabbages* Now, I do retain the right to change/form different opinion as I gather more info/see the movie if it gets made because that’s the only logical thing to do. However, there’s some general arguments against it that I completely acknowledge have some valid points if removed from all context of the movie itself. 1) “It’s got a male lead! It’s trying to erase women from fandom and slash fandom, and women make up the bulk!” Yup. It does have a male lead! Look, I am a feminist through and through. And I understand the dearth of movies centered around lead actresses that don’t fail the Bechdel test within the first 30 seconds of the movie. Hollywood is atrocious in that regard. However, we’re talking movies as a whole, not isolated individual movies. I mean - are men never going to have the lead ever again? What kind of feminism is that? Not my feminism, for sure. So let’s focus on the movie and focus on a male lead in a movie where the female-dominated culture of fandom/slash fandom is a main story plot. The story is a coming-of-age story about a boy who finds welcoming and acceptance to explore and uncover his sexuality in a community of women. Watch the trailer/info-bit, all the groups where slash is involved, it’s all women. Women are the ones who have created the sub-culture (along with LGBTQIA+ men; I acknowledge there might be straight men involved but in this instance they are the minority) that this boy finds acceptance in, not the historically male ‘geek’ culture that shuns him (see: the Star Trek cosplay guys who mock him). I don’t know about ya’ll, but I see this as positive representation and definitely pro-slash fandom. 2) “But women are the bulk of the fandom! A slash movie should be about women!” Agreed that women should have a large part! And … from what it looks like? It is. 3) "But you don’t understand! This is a movie about slash! It should have a female lead!“ So…. what I’m hearing is that in wanting to have a female lead you want to erase the part of our culture that embraces and encourages everyone, including LGBTQIA+ men. …yeah. 4) "The writer/director has no clue about slash fandom! He’s not part of it.” Okay, I definitely understand those concerns. I mean - how many times have we watched a ‘journalist’ give slash to actors/actresses on the spot to have them read in order to embarrass the actors and fandom? How many times have we heard media content owners talk about shipping like they have the power to take away ships from fandom? But, I don’t think that’s going to be the case here. The guy’s name is Clay Liford, and he’s quite known in the LGBT circuit. He also is a self-professed Drarry reader and had a similar experience growing up where he was part of the ElfQuest fandom, which was heavily female-dominated. Now, once I watch the movie I might be all 'oh, holy shit he has no clue’. But right now? I have more confidence in him doing a decent portrayal than I would say, JJ Abrahams getting his hands on the project and expecting something respectful of the culture. 5) “It’s a comedy. It’s about slash. It is totally going to result in a mockery of the culture.” You’re right. It might. It might be like SPN and result in an insult to the people and the culture. But it might not. Given the BtS and interviews, I’m leaning more on the 'not’. Here’s the hard part of watching fandom (and slash fandom) evolve and change - it’s not the secret not-talked about “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” kind of mentality any more. When it was all ‘keep it secret, keep it safe!’, there was limited chance for something negative to impact the culture. There’s no more real … I guess you could call it policing. But there’s no upholding certain aspects of the culture - especially when it comes to the secrecy, you don’t talk about it with the actors, etc… And it’s hard to control the message that we want to present to the general public about who fandom is, who fandom represents, and with that, respect. This movie looks like while it is a comedy, it doesn’t look to be mocking fandom. It seems to be embracing it and how awesome we all know it to be. So … well, as opposed to no message or a poor message, I am willing to give it a chance. 6) “But the only way an accurate portrayal is going to happen is if it’s done by someone who is in fandom, who understands fandom, and if it accurately portrays fandom by telling the story from a female POV.” Male vs female lead aside, if you want that movie? Write it! Tell your story, tell a general story, tell anyone’s story and get the money together, do a Kickstarter, whatever, and tell the story you want/need to tell. I will support you as much as I do this. If slash fandom is going to be more 'on the surface’ and more out in general culture, I want those stories out there. I want us all owning our story. And there’s room enough for multiple stories! This movie does not exist in a medium where there can be only One True Movie (OTM) and everything else falls into rarepair category of depressing lack of quantity if you’re a fan. This is one story to be told among hundreds. Thousands. Millions. As it stands, what exists in popular culture right now as a representation of fandom/fanfic? Fucking 50 Shades of Grey. Just … no. Also, irony as superhappygenki pointed out. This story that’s being told in the movie? How many times have you read an AU fic where one of the characters is a slash fanfic writer? And how many times have those characters been male? What are your thoughts? What are your concerns?
Just an aside on perspective and LGBTQIA+ males being a minority in fandom - a large part of this is due to LGBTQIA+ males being a minority in general (Wiki article on demographics of sexual orientation) which is definitely going to skew the demographics of fandom when up against all females regardless of sexual orientation. Changing to proportions of the respective groups (LGBTQIA+ men in slash/all LGBTQIA+ men) vs (females in slash/all females) gives a new perspective of the demographics of fandom.
Other than that I’d just like to echo the above that this is just one particular story about slash fandom and there is plenty of room for more. As a gay male who grew up not knowing it was even possible to be gay until near the end of middle school when I found the slash fandom and discovered I wasn’t alone or abnormal (being gay wasn’t talked about except as a slur in middle school back then) I am very hopeful about this movie. Fandom helped me so much and I want that story told.
That's a really major part of what we hope to share. Fandom as a window into a world of likeminded people. :)

Thanks for this! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the actual movie. :)
Hello Team SLASH!We wanted to update you on some great developments...First, we were selected as IndieWIRE’s "Project of the Day" earlier this week, and now we have the chance to be named "Project of the Week," but to get that distinction, there's a vote that we need your help with (more details below). Also, a quick update – Clay's heading out to LA tomorrow to go through final preparations before we shoot these last few scenes. We’re doing these scenes on a low budget, but we’re aiming to make something that rivals some Hollywood’s stereotypical macho sci-fi in look and challenges it in content, so we wanted to take a second to show you some things: Here is the latest version of our Vanguard body armor, which you've seen before, but is now painted and ready to wear. We're in love with it, obviously! Also, we thought you might like to see the locations we're going to be using in LA. The first, called Vasquez Rocks, is a staple in many classic sci-fi movies, and we're booked for 2 shoot days there to get our opening scene! Next, one of our scenes takes place in a galactic spaceship, and we've got just the spot for that too. This is just the shell...Our art team is working hard on a holographic map table to go in the middle of this room and other details to bring it completely to life! We’ll also have more news soon….but for now, please take a moment to help: 1. Vote for us! – We’re honored to be one of three projects being considered for IndieWIRE’s “Project of the Week,” and the decision comes down to votes. Please take a moment to vote for us – it can really help the film with added exposure - http://www.indiewire.com/article/vote-for-project-of-the-week-will-it-be-slash-queen-annes-lace-or-prodigal-daughter-20150911. 2. Share the project on social media – If you haven’t liked the Facebook page or followed the Twitter, please take a moment to do so. Then share, share, share! We’re committed to posting truly interesting information about the project and the world of slash fiction, so I know friends will find the experience rewarding! Thanks again! Making this movie has been a long journey, and we have more hills to cross, but the support we’ve already gotten from friends like you has really helped keep us afloat! Team SLASH!
Vanguard Update!
A quick update on our Kickstarter and the progress in bring our fictional sci-fi slash hero to life!
Here's your daily look at an indie project in development. Is this something you'd want to see?
We’re one of IndieWIRE’s Projects of the Day!
My first feature has become some sort of bizarre collector’s item. Which is more than I could have ever hoped for.
