Re: Was fandom always mostly for porn?

Yeah. I grew up in the era of the fanzines, and saw The Motion Picture first run in theaters, and I can say that the slash was far from the whole point. Out of three or four stories in a 'zine, you'd get one every other issue that was slash. The rest were all gen adventures, albeit with a higher frequency of OC Mary Sues than you'd prefer. While there was always a flirtatious tone in the letters and articles pages when it came to McCoy/Kirk/Spock the people calling them outright lovers was a minimum. Mostly it was the worldbuilding and character motivations.

Slash might have been a big thing for some people, and it probably was a much bigger thing for the gradually more open gay community than it was for everyone else, but it was seldom anything other than a minor thread in fandom. Now Doctor Who fandom, that was gay as fuck.

Interesting. I love hearing about the history of fandom.
