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.

Just to say: this is what AI is useful for. It can translate the whole thing to an okay standard if you want it to.
