The Xena scale of slashiness is, as the name indicates, based on the TV series Xena: Warrior Princess, where the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle is defined as being 1.0 on the scale. It is also the closest it's reasonably possible to get to a canon same-sex relationship without actually stating it as such. For reference, I will describe a few more points on the scale. Note, however, that the scale is meant to be continuous and not limited to the levels mentioned here. For example, Blake and Avon on Blake's 7 would probably rate about 0.75 on this scale. There is also no requirement that a series stay at the same level for its entire run. It's perfectly reasonble to say "Dude, House totally hit 0.95 xena last night".
