This piece isn't a fantasy. It's contemporary. The flame in flaming slapfest is the fact that the characters are all flaming gay drag queens. The smoke stains are to give the backstage area some history and ambiance. It's a flashback to when you could still smoke backstage. The "burned the place down" remark was figurative.
Hope that clears everything up.

I got the "flaming" gay part, and I knew the references were figurative for smoking etc. if you weren't writing fantasy. I just thought you might be going to go for a double meaning since going for a gay reference for "flaming slapfest" was a little on the nose (I was thinking "familiar and original" / "strange attractor"). I still think it would be hilarious if it was a fantasy about drag queens with literal "flaming" powers though. ;)
Good job though.
