*nods* It's not my main fandom anymore, either, but I still buy the occasional K/S zine and read the stories on-line. I used to love h/c and then realized, hey, you can have all the good stuff without a lot of the hurt when it's slash! :) I remember the huge controversy when the first K/S story was published. Like, "How dare these people make pervs out of Kirk and Spock?!" It was't too many years after Stonewall that the first story was published, in 1976, I think.
Yes, 1976. So last year wasn't only Star Trek's 40th Anniversary, but also K/S 's 30th.
There's a fannish project going on about putting a lot of remembrances in zine form about K/S fandom since it's hit the 30-year mark.
It's out. :-) Legacy, published in five volumes, debuted at Shore Leave in July. Lots of stories (I'm proud to say one of them is mine,) and interviews. Plus the controversy from those early years was pulled from the old letterzines and republished in Legacy. Fascinating reading, to coin a phrase.
