Define fanfiction.

note: that's fanfiction, so it's okay if you can't think of the ninety-nine other categories of fan____.

I'm not sure they police it as such, except by just not having any interest in it. The fact that there's regularly someone saying casually homophobic stuff may play a part in driving queer or queer sympathetic fans off (using 'queer' in a general way to simplify the phrase, though of curse not all fans that could write slash would identify along that spectrum, etc), though.

The only boundaries actively policed are: chan and bestiality, and... alternative pairings to the Darcy/Elizabeth one. I kid you not. (This last surely works a bit to police slash too, but there's always alternative universes where they both male/female, etc, and that's not happening too much, compared to other popular alternative universes.)
