Gay-Straight Alliance
Friday, January 22 during activities in room 206
A discussion on (slash) fanfiction. Fanfiction: a word that has been heard by most but is largely ignored in conversation except in jest. Stereotypes, controversies and an overall bias keep the subject of fanfiction taboo. GSA is holding a discussion to talk about the good, the bad, and the downright wanky.
