“Some shows have released official promos that play up the fans' favorite slash couples to court fans, most recently Hawaii Five-O and Teen Wolf, whose showrunner began to write the show itself in a slashy direction when he became aware of the popularity of “Sterek,” the slash pairing of sidekick Stiles and alpha wolf Derek.”

“"Teen Wolf 'Sterek' fans, we've read your (hundreds and hundreds of) comments and admire your passion," EW.com responded. "The reason Sterek didn't make the category is because it's not an acknowledged will-they-or-won't-they storyline." This controversy led the gay entertainment news site AfterElton.com to start an annual "slash madness" tournament. Sterek won the first.”

“Even a nascent fandom will begin to develop its own tropes. You could see it, for instance, in the popular Sterek pairing in the Teen Wolf fandom as it took off.”
