But I'm wondering, am I the only one who doesn't even remotely like Kirk and Spock as a romantic pair? I mean, I definitely see where people are getting it from, but they seem so much better suited as friends than a couple or even as fuck buddies to me. I've also never much liked Uhura with either of them, so it's not because K/S breaks up a ship of mine or whatever either. Maybe I'm just odd.

I'm sure you're not alone. I think K/S is okay but I don't ship it hardcore like most of the fandom.

Nah, I ship KS but I've been in other fandoms where the favorite romantic pairing is not my cup of tea, so I get how you feel.

Hell, there's a couple of fandoms where I just don't care for shipping anyone at all.

If you're looking for specific pairings or gen, do you want me to recommend you some comms...?

ayrt

If you want to rec anything, feel free. I'm always up for more Trek stuff. :) I sometimes read shippy stuff for it (mostly Pike/whoever he feels like fucking that day if it's strictly based off the reboot or Kirk/Bones for some odd reason that I have yet to figure out), but gen fics with an adventure flair tend to be my favorite for this particular fandom.

Sorry for taking so long with the reply. Finals week!

Anyway, I'd recommend:

st-ficfinder(http://st-ficfinder.livejournal.com): You can ask for anything to your heart's desire. I asked for Gaila gen fic a while back and I was given links to some gorgeous fanfiction. So don't feel shy!

The Crack Enterprise (http://crackenterprise.livejournal.com): another rec comm, a lot of the slash is mostly Kirk/McCoy and if you feel like something else, just hit the tags!

Oh wow, thank you! I totally get finals (putting off working on an essay right now myself). I haven't been to either of these, so I'm going to check them out.

No, I just see them as epic bros. I'm not very shippy with TOS tbh.

nah. I LOVE them but it's totally not just you and seems totally valid to me.

Nah, I'm with you there. Kirk and Spock are friends and I like them that way.

I'm an old school TOS fan and I know the ship goes way back but it just isn't my thing. I see them as utterly devoted to each other but not as lovers per se.

(Oddly I see the vibe more in AOS than TOS but I like Spock/Uhura a lot in AOS so I tend to go for that instead.)

ayrt

Yes! This tends to be how I see their relationship. Like brothers-in-arms or something. I'm willing to read most anything if it's written well enough, but for some reason these two as a romantic pair has never worked for me.

I can see them as a pair really easily. However the fanbase was so horrifically awful about Uhura/Spock in reboot that I kind of hope that Kirk and Spock don't share a single scene together in the new movie!

Man, this.

You know, yeah. I personally was mentally cheering when Spock got the hot and smart girl because it was kind of awesome to see that happen for him for once. Played against the expected Kirk Gets The Girl thing and all, which was nice. And I'm really interested to see what their relationship does in terms of Vulcan society. Is Spock expected to rebuild? Did his wife survive? How might Uhura react to that? How might they react to her? Will it even end up going that far? If they break up, does Kirk make a move? How might that affect the work environment? Being professional on shift is one thing, but you know, what happens during downtime and all?

...And then the bitching started, and kinda quashed that excitement for me.

I mean, I'm one of those people who'll read various pairings according to my mood, but seriously, the response that happened was just uncalled for.

see my default icon? I've been getting drama because it's been popping up in K/S comms. Apparently you're not allowed to like both and if you do, mind your fucking icons. I feel bullied due to people harassing me.

Sure, but it's weird to post in a pairing-specific comm with a different pairing icon. I don't think I'd read something about the specific pairing from an author with a different pairing icon because I wouldn't want a side of different pairing with my specific pairing, which I would feel was more likely even if it wasn't the author's intention in writing a specific pairing fic.

true but people fail to realize that once you change your default icon, its that icon everywhere

Oh yeah, I remember that! That sucks, I'm sorry :( I try to stay out of ship wars and since I'm not active in any comms right now (school has taken over my life!) I don't get much crap for multishipping, but that was totally unfair :(

I think you go looking for drama and enjoy when you find it.

Most of the K/S shippers I know are pretty chill, and I ship Kirk/McCoy.

I think I was the only K/S shipper who was only ticked off at Uhura/Spock because I love Uhura/Scotty so freakin' much. (They just... they would be a FUNCTIONAL, HAPPY couple! I rarely ship those!)

Not to mention I loved the Spock/Uhura friendship dynamic, and felt sorry for Kirk because in TOS he destroyed his lady love (The Enterprise) for Spock, so I do think in every universe they should be #1 to each other. Which makes it not fair to Uhura to be stuck in that unless she doesn't mind being #2 priority wise...

However, I do think the amount of wank was ridiculous. But if you think about it, it was the biggest and most volatile change that has immediate impact on our viewing of the series. Seriously, the destruction of Vulcan impacts plot, but doesn't really affect the entire ship dynamic.

And when people are so invested in these characters... well, I'm not surprised that there was such wank.

Ah well. I admittedly just hope that S/U becomes BFFs while the bond between Kirk and Spock becomes Epic and we get to see more McCoy acting like a BAMF.

Add me to the list. Just... I don't see it. Sorry?

I only ship K/S for the reboot (frankly I think Uhura deserves better than either of them lol) because I watched TOS with my dad as a child and associate Kirk with my dad--who is an Aries like Shatner and totes identified with Kirk. Picturing TOS Kirk kissing a man is like trying to picture my dad doing that, and I can't.

K/S is a classic.

I ship K/S hardcore, but only in the TOS. I can't do reboot as they just don't have that chemistry yet. They're barely friends as it is.

Besides, in the reboot, I'm a Kirk/Bones shipper. They have that epic chemistry and from what I've been reading around the net, the writers are gonna flesh their friendship out more. They're not gonna ignore the Kirk/Spock friendship, but they put more effort into Kirk/Bones in the reboot than it was in the TOS series.

Uhura I'll ship with any of them, but my Uhura OTPs are TOS!Scooty/Uhura and reboot!McCoy/Uhura. :3

Yeah, I see it as 'insane BFFs forever' rather than 'OMG TRUE LOVE'. I mean, I think they love each other, but not romantically.
