The Grandfather of all slash: Kirk/Spock makes the news

[marguerite_26]

Newsweek attempts to answer the age old questions:

What the hell is Slash? and Where the hell did it come from?

I'm rather impressed at the accuracy of the article.

Where No Man Has Gone Before

*snort*

quote:
Some stories—including many tales centering around "pon farr," the overpowering Vulcan mating impulse introduced in the episode "Amok Time"—are almost unbelievably explicit, but most are primarily about the creation and maintenance of a romantic relationship.

I have this wicked desire to see what exactly makes something "unbelievably explicit". *g*

Thanks to romaine24 for the link!!! *twirls you*

I am quite taken with the quote about Roddenberry knowing a good thing when he saw one ;-). Thanks for pointing me towards that article, Maggie.

Hee! Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy/Firefly/Dollhouse) was for giving an interview that went something like:

Interviewer: and what you think your fans should spend their time on now that your series is over?

Joss: Write Fanfic!!!

I ♥ Joss.

ps: the link came from rom, I just didn't want to splash your name all over the post. :D
