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*

Not sure whether Narcissa is specifically a Sue ... but in the books, all the mothers are cool and great whereas the fathers are all pretty useless to their children, even if they're nice ....

James Potter Sr... DOA
Lucius Malfoy ... need any explanation? :)
Tobias Snape ... domestic violence
Mr Riddle Se ... playboy, heartbreaker, and calcium supplment to Voldie's rebirth.
Arthur Weasley ... nice, but bitten by snakes, can't fix cars and can't quite feed family.
Remus Lupin ... the runaway dad
Harry Potter ... the names, the NAMES!
Ron Weasley ... encourage discrimination of the Malfoy kind

James Potter Sr... DOA

Oh, he sucked as a father. DOA!

I love your cruel streak, pie.

You are so going to hell for that one.

(you are highly entertaining! and I am havaing too much fun. My kids do not need to eat dinner tonight, do they?)

I also propose changing Where No Man Has Gone Before to Where No Man Has Come Before

I think Hell already gave me a passport ... the red devils and golden fires are quite Gryffindor, if you think about it.

As for feeding your kids .. you're a mom, right? Whatever you do is COOL! GREAT!!! THE GREATEST WEAPON CALLED LOVE!!!!!!!

Basically she's trying to put out the message that women rule. Which we do... but no need to rub it in! Those poor daddies. *pets them*

Lucius Malfoy ... need any explanation? :)

you mean promoting bigotry and inbreeding to ensure a so-called pure blood line is NOT the proper way to raise a child? I'M SHOCKED.

Hey, that's the tradition of most pre 20th century monarchies around the world!! :) ... that's, er, royal treatment.
