  Don't Mind the Ladies: Lesbian Fanfic as an Old-Fashioned Romance
Altfic is a rather broad designation covering traditional literary genres from action/adventure to erotica to romance to pornography to comedy.
Altfic's version of Xena and Gabrielle, or their respective Ubers, are less polarized in terms of their gender traits, so their relative masculinity or femininity is usually unchanged by the story's conclusion.
This is an unspoken premise of almost all Altfic, romantic or not, and it is the significant differentiator from traditional heterosexual romance.

 Xena: Warrior Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jokes, innuendo, and other subtle evidence of a romantic relationship between Xena and Gabrielle was referred to as "lesbian subtext" or simply "subtext" by fans.
Xena fandom also popularized the term Altfic (from "alternative fiction") to refer to homosexual romantic fan fiction.
Many fans felt the term slash fiction carried the connotation of being about male/male couples only and was not a good description for romantic fan fiction about Xena and Gabrielle.

 Xena: Warrior Princess - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The fandom became increasingly divided over the issue, particularly with the development of a romantic storyline between Xena and Ares, the God of War, which was also left ambiguous.
The Xena fandom also popularized the term Altfic (no relation to the evil Alti character in the series) among fans to refer to general homosexual romantic stories, as slash fiction was generally perceived as focused on male/male couples.
Xena fandom also expanded its fan fiction raw materials to include stories making Xena, Gabrielle, Ares and other archetypes and inserting them in different cultures at different times, from the prehistoric to the far future (and everywhere between).

AlternativeFiction (AltFic) is defined by TheaLogie as "modern fiction that mucks about with reality and doesn't give a monkey's about the literary establishment", and (paraphrasing) as 'more subversive than StraightFiction' (for some value of StraightFiction).
-- WJR_ Quite possibly: sometimes children's fiction, freed largely from the constraints of the literary establishment, is the only decent AltFic around.
-- SDN_ I would argue (a) the statement that AltFic (whatever that is) is more 'subversive' than StraightFiction _(whatever that is -- TA)_ is extremely simplistic and that (b) 'mucking about with reality' does not mean an author doesn't give a damn about the literary establishment.

Also, there is a point about male participation in the Xenaverse which you have not mentioned in what I was able to see: the male altfic bards.
One in particular that I've spoken (email) with expressed the wish to me that he'd thought to write under a female name so that his work might be more readily accepted - even though his stories were quite beautiful and should be accepted solely on their own merit.
