Re: TOS shippers invented modern shipwank XD

[serenitysquid]

Somehow none of this surprises me at all. I had a feeling it was because TOS has been around for so long and the fandom has had plenty of time to mellow out.

I'd also like to see a documentary about Star Trek shipping wars! It would be fascinating to learn more about antique shipping wank from the time before the internet provided a convenient way to have pointless arguments with complete strangers. :D

_{And you don't sound like a fanatical shipper to me. If you started ranting about how anyone who doesn't ship Kirk/Spock is a homophobe, maybe.}

It would be fascinating to learn more about antique shipping wank from the time before the internet provided a convenient way to have pointless arguments with complete strangers. :D

If you explore the Fanlore site they have TONS of info about all this, both for Kirk/Spock and TOS specifically and the evolution of slash in general. I think many of their contributors actually lived through a lot of what gets described, there are TONS of quotations from (print) fanzines and letterzines (a.k.a. zines that are sort of the equivalent of a mailing list/ community in print form) that aren't on the internet and probably never will be, given the feelings of the elderfen still active in fandom.

And yes, it was NOT convenient at ALL to argue with random strangers. The first official Kirk/Spock story came out in 1974, with a sort of K/S ship manifesto by the same author in 1975. Things got CRAZY after that. It was only worsened buy the utter slashiness of 1979 movie and ESPECIALLY Gene Roddenberry's (the creator of TOS)novelization of it. Things honestly did not get noticeably calmer until the mid 80's. A WHOLE DECADE OF WANK. It boggles my mind :DDDD
