*is watching the Star Trek movie marathon on Spike TV*

Kirk and Spock!

*flails about helplessly*

Theirlovetranscendsallspacetimeandevendeath!

*takes a deep breath*

Oh my squee.

*chants 'I will not go searching for fic'*

That doesn't mean I'm not amenable to recs.

Kirk!

Spock!

*meep*

It's really a pity I gave the one zine I had to my professor -- it had illustrations on a desert island and was the height of tacky amusement. Then again, he *did* request it specifically... I shall see about picking up some stuff at Escapade for you, since most K/S stuff (from the days when zines where the only place you could find fic) is classic by now. Heh.

It's so good to see you online again. Sorry about the phone this afternoon, the reception in my room sucks the big one and then I had to get ready for word. Which is where I'm killing time now. *g*

Oh, deserted island fic! It's a genre that isn't nearly as exploited as it should be. *hugs Smallville close* I do so love my big gay show again.

Thanks for the Escapade stuff in advance. I didn't even think that most of the Kirk/Spock stuff took place pre-Internet and probably didn't (or at least hasn't) made its way there.

Kirk! Spock! *meeeeeeep*

There is tons and tons of stuff online. In addition to stuff written in the internet era, there is The Foresmutters Project (http://www.foresmutters.org/), which has a bunch of quite early K/S. Hm, hm - oh, the main alt.startrek.creative archive (http://www.trekiverse.org/).

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks for dropping by with the links!

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

No problemo! Enjoy.

I'm trying to remember who I read back when I read K/S - Raku, Judith Gran, Greywolf, a bunch of other folks. I don't have any recs stored from that time, though Greywolf's "New Minglewood Blues" was one of the first slash stories I read, ever.

I got sucked into the marathon, too.

Though thanks to friends, I'm unable to watch the end of STIII without substituting the dialogue, "You Klingon son! You killed my bastard!"

Trek is the fandom that got me into slash in the first place, though it wasn't the K/S. The first slash story I ever read was a ST:VOY story called "Tom, Dick and Harry."

I really want a Trek icon that says, "My fandom did it all first."

Such a very good thing I was done eating the peanut butter cookie one of the girls brought into work before reading that, or it would've ended up all over my monitor. Bwah! I loved the third movie something fierce. But then, same for the first and fourth and, well, yes. It would seem I've succumbed after all these years. Honestly, all people would've had to do was show me some of the early stuff. All this hoopla about Picard, etc. didn't really do it for me, but man, Kirk and Spock? They had me from their first scene in a room together.

I really want a Trek icon that says, "My fandom did it all first."

And it would be a fantastic icon.

LOLOLOL

"You are, and always will be, my friend."

I cried. Totally cried at the end of the third movie when Spock gets back his memory and finally calls Kirk, Jim. *sob* So sad! On a sidenote, Baby!Spock may have been one of the cutest things ever. And ever. I don't think I would've survived actually seeing him die in the second movie. Spock! And Kirk! I can see how they started it all.

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

I can never, ever slash Kirk and Spock. Ever. Now Picard/Q...that's a different story entirely.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

It seems like it would be a very difficult dynamic to write faithfully. I'd have to take my hat off to anyone who would undertake writing Spock at all, much less well, and much, much less well with someone. Wow, now that I'm actually thinking about it, starting with Kirk/Spock may have been quite masochistic of those early slashers.

Q?

<- is utterly uninitiated

Although I did thoroughly enjoy your little geekout with one of the girls we met at the bar after the Boston show. *g*

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

Have you never watched ST:TNG? Aaaaaaah!

Q. Of the race Q. Who menaced Picard from the first episdoe to the last.

Aaaaaaah!

LOL "Geekout" was about right. ;)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

I only pretended to have time to watch TV today. I never watched any of the Star Trek series and only randomly happened to stop on Spike TV today, so this was really my first experience with anything from the series. But I hear they're also doing ST:TNG reruns, so I'll check that out.

Mmm, conflictlicious pairings. I could dig it.

[saturn92103.livejournal.com]

You must watch. Must, must, must.

Are they airing "First Contact" on Spike? "The line must be drawn here, this far, no further!" My favorite ST line ever!

Yes. I am a big ST geek. Love it!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

They had a day-long marathon of the I, III, and IV films today, but you never know. I've got a Blockbuster card and know how to use it, though.

I was laughing so hard at the two of you reciting lines, but that's the one I remember the most, too. You two really were priceless, I totally should've left my recorder on. ;)

[jacquez.livejournal.com]

TNG had some very weak moments, but it also had some incredible moments.

Q was present for many of the incredible ones.

if you're interested in the slashfest that is K/S, this is a good place to start--

http://seacouver.slashcity.net/killa/index.html

Killa's fiction is good--two of her stories, Turning Point and its sequel Full Circle, are probably defining moments in Trek slash. And she has an extensive rec page.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thanks for the link. I'm just flabbergasted at their love all over my little TV screen. I haven't decided if it's sopure or sobehindthescenes, but I'll definitely check out the links and see from there.

Heya! A friend saw your post and said you were looking for links. You might check out the Kirk/Spock Central mailing list. They have a number of them in their Links section:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KirkSpockCentral/ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KirkSpockCentral/)

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

*loves on your icon* It's so all about Spock, man. I mean, yes, Kirk's snarky and handsome, but Spock's the one who's got it going on.

Thanks for dropping by! I try to hug my friendslist on a regular basis, but I'll give them all an extra little oomph in the next post. In any event, much obliged for the link as well as whoever led you here.

And hey, this journal is about nothing if not foisting my enthusiasm on everyone who wanders past. *g*
