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*

hmm...well, i've never actually thought about it, but now that i am, i guess i just see some similarities, but on different levels. she's said that hermione is based off of her, but that's referring to herself as a child. as adults, narcissa risked everything for draco; for that one chance that he would survive and have a better life. JK kind of did the same thing with her idea of Harry Potter. she took a chance at hopefully being able to offer her daughter a better life. it paid off for both women.

Hmm... I don't know. To me, I doesn't sound like Mary-sueness, more like when an author writes something, anything, their beliefs and hopes and dreams sometimes leak into the piece their writing at that time. Maybe she's put a bit of herself in every female she's written, bits of her personality split up here and there to make them seem more human and real and this one just happened to be in Narcissa. But thanks for the clarification!

it was just my thoughts.
