@@AwesomeYena Well, sure, but it was more of a comment about the nature of fanfics themselves. Like, in this sbemail, there are clearly nods to the phenomenon of slash fiction in particular, a subgenre of literature that is, let's face it, generally never G-rated, nor is it ever referred to in context in G-rated media. :V
@AwesomeYena slash fiction generally refers to homosexual pairings in fanfic. I think the originator came from people online using [Character A] x [Character B] to refer to heterosexual couplings and [A]/[B] to refer to homosexual ones, which is why it has the nickname of "slash". Of course, nobody really uses "slash" in the modern day. But the next time you're reading some old fanfic and somebody goes "warning: slash fic!", it's a sign as to what you're getting into.
That's the point it reminds me of people takong homestar so seriously that they said "well hometarrunner jumped the shark!" The brothers chap responded "dude! We are just two people making flash cartoons, how the heck does that even apply??!"
As someone who has actually written fan fiction...I can confirm that what Strong Bad says is true. Fan fiction is 90% trash 5% Gold and 5% pfargtl. Don't ask what "pfargtl" means...you don't want to know.

As a very heavily fandom-involved person who has even written some Homestar fic before, I LOVE Strong Bad's take on fandom. It's very accurate- I will admit to having one or two Twelve Times a Day Men and engsmsplosions in my own very old works.
Strong Sad is ABSOLUTELY a Tumblr regular. His posts are a mix between those "incorrect quotes" that people sometimes do for fandoms nobody has heard of and apologies for not posting more. And maybe 1 or 2 callout post reblogs.

Over recent years there's a third word that's been attached to 'fan' that's at least as bad as 'fiction': fan THEORY. Oh god "fan theories". Or "look, I'm dressing up my fan fiction to make it look like it's part of the original source, and using 'evidence' because this is totally an autonomous world and not the creation of a writer somewhere".

Much like real fan fiction, the original setting is treated as a blank canvas. :)
The fact that Strong Bad’s “fan club” is just his brothers hanging out (Cheat is basically an honorary Strong at this point) is weirdly heartwarming.
And cinder block.
Don’t forget Homsar!
