I have been informed that the fifteen-year-old butt-kicker was legitimately a green belt in Shotokan, but was also a black belt in tae kwon do. That explains a lot.
Melymbrosia is looking for manga recommendations. Go help her out. She likes fantasy of the well-written and classy sort (ie, Patricia McKillip rather than Robert Jordan), romance (ditto) and slash.

I just got my book contract. I was amused to discover that the description of the work, which in TV contracts is very brief-- "A half-hour horror television script entitled "The Mercy Chair"-- is a paragraph long. It must have been written by the publishers, because it's not like my agent's description.
It requires that the work be "hilarious and poignant," calls me "an outcast among outcasts," and says the supporting cast will be "odd enough to be circus characters."
If any of that but the first clause ends up in the cover copy, my Mom will be outraged. And I will laugh.

There is no answer which will not get me in trouble with someone. ;) My answer is that it depends on fandom and perhaps on particular fandom circle. Prescriptively, I'd say yes; descriptively, without the modifiers most people assume it means m/m. People often use "femslash" or "femmeslash" to distinguish f/f from m/m, which obviously means m/m is considered the norm; there isn't a male form of the term used nearly as often, though a few of my friends will oppose "boyslash" to "girlslash".
There is also, of course, the whole argument about whether it's slash if it's canon.
