I presented a PowerPoint explaining fanfiction and shipping to my father (midwest.social)

It's in Swedish and I'm much too lazy to translate. But I figured the older generation might benefit from knowing these terms like shipping, AO3, slash, and whatnot.

He does not like the concept of shipping at all. But he thought it was educational and he liked the pictures I used. It was Star Trek themed since ST essentially coined the slash term, and we both watch it so I made that the main theme.

Well. That was fun. I love explaining nonsensical shit to older peeps.

I definitely must be old, because reading that makes my skin crawl.

I mean, shipping was ubiquitous online even when I first hopped on the web as a wee lad in the late 1990s.
