As Mal Would Say, Huh
Aug. 19th, 2011 04:29 pmThe Ten Greatest Moments in Star Trek Slash History.
The original "slash fic" was K/S, all about the forbidden love of Kirk and Spock. Eventually slash fic expanded out of Trek (I even found a slash fic for short lived 90's TV series "Due South". Who knew anyone cared about that show, much less wanted to see the main characters have sex with each other??) But Star Trek is where it all began and it is with those characters that slash fiction continues to thrive.
Via ranker.
Interesting article/list but they left reboot out completely. They also underestimated the number of K/S zines, even if it's only by 1987, the printing heyday was 1976-85. Fifty-eight! *snort* I have around ninety, and Joanna Russ mentions owning some three hundred in her 1985 essay! *is unimpressed* They did do a decent job of covering the various Major Pairings, though I somehow thought that Riker/Wesley was bigger than Worf/Wesley? IDK and I don't really want to know either.
ETA: I'm amused beyond words that the conversation has become about DS instead of K/Mc. I just....am. ;)
