"the slash list"

>"and, um, whatever the slash list was named"

Are you thinking of JADFE ("James and Darkangel's Forever Erotica")? :-)

I actually didn't know until this year -- way out here in 2009! -- that JADFE started in a dispute over slash on fkfic-l. Good gravy. JADFE was the all-types adult/erotica list when I came into the fandom, and I was never subscribed to it, so I just took for granted that it had begun for the purpose of being what it had become by then. [livejournal.com profile] batdina and [livejournal.com profile] leela_cat explained that no, at the time, they wouldn't allow any homosexual depictions on the main fiction list, regardless of rating. I was... taken aback, both that it had been that way, and that somehow I'd never picked up that piece of history, through everything.

Thanks for sharing those links! Let us by all means tempt FK imaginations wherever we can. :-)

Thank you also, very much, for the email heads-up; that particular file is fixed now.
