It was called "The Premise" way back in the dark ages of individually photocopied fanzines, when anyone openly suggesting that Kirk and Spock were other than friends and co-workers could expect legal action on their ass. It's a reasonably well known part of queer, fandom, and queer fandom history. There's no need to be rude about it.

Nayrt but it's also the first time I've heard of it

[ninety6tears]

Same, though I've read up on Trek fandom in particular so maybe I just forgot.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I'm old by fandom standards and reasonably well-informed about fandom history and I still never heard of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here, and while I've never been directly in Trek fandom I am fairly familiar with it.

[(Anonymous)]

Been in K/S fandom for twenty five years here and never heard the phrase. We just used to say 'slash'.

[(Anonymous)]

K/S is obviously older than twenty five years old. I've heard of The Premiss, it's fun slash history.

[(Anonymous)]

But apparently pretty obscure.

[(Anonymous)]

This is true. There were cases where mother's lost custody of their children upon finding K/S slash in their possession. People could be prosecuted for it, so they needed a way to keep it secret.

(I can't find a reference for the mother, but it's from a book I have)

[(Anonymous)]

Which book??

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, from an old book I found in my parents basement. I can't seem to find it right now, but I'm pretty certain in was one of the 'The Best of Trek: From the Magazine for Star Trek Fans' series. (it's the most similar looking one I can find, and seems to fit the context;;)
I know it goes into detail about Spock's Pon Farr, and German viewers opinions... or something like that.
I've watched a number of Trek documentaries as well, but I remember doing some research at the time, and the details seemed pretty legit.
