There are two interesting wikipedia articles (here and here) that deal with this. My understanding is that the term slash originally comes from the / used to separate any two (or more) characters having a romantic relationship (heterosexual, homosexual, or other) but that now it is most often used to represent a (male) homosexual pairing.

I also have trouble with beginnings. One thing that sometimes helps is if I write down all of the ideas that I have for a story (both plot ideas and character descriptions) then I go through all of them and decide which ones I will use and write an outline of the story. After that I finally start to write. This way I have all of my ideas organized and in one place before I start and I have a general idea of where I want to end up. I guess when I do this I'm creating boundaries for myself, otherwise it starts to seem like I can write anything at all and that usually means I won't write anything!
