Randomness: I've been a slasher all my life...

[angel_grace01]

Earlier this week, it hit me: I've been a slasher all my life. I just didn't realise it. Go figure!
I just wanted to share this not earth shattering revelation with the world. Now what's gonna follow is a lot of rambling, so don't feel obliged to read on.

very trippy! have to agree -- I did watch TOS as a kid -- I was ten the summer it first aired in Canada, and yeah, I always thought of Kirk and Spock as a pair. not sex, no -- hadn't really wised up to that yet -- but they were *together* and I always hated when either of them got all schmoozy with the Random Female of the Week.

then puberty hit, and teh scales fell from me eyes, so they did. heh... fast forward another twenty years and discovering fandom and who, yeah! so nice to find one isn't the only person who sees that on the screen, isn't it?

hurray for fandom, long may it last!!

oh yeah -- hi!! and Happy New Year!! may it be better than the last few years have been.

Happy New Year! May happiness find a roost in your home and stay to multiply. (Somehow, no matter how heartfelt they are, those wishes always sound weird when translated into English LOL)

::grins:: good to know I wasn't the only one thinking deathrays towards whatever female was on the show. I'm still not happy watching the ep with the Romulan woman.

It makes me wonder what non-slashers think they see when they watch TOS. A certain river in Egypt, maybe? :-)

ya have to wonder, huh. mebbe that's why the fundies hate scifi so much...

heh heh heh... when I rewatch that ep I try to visualize Kirk in those scenes... although I did a story that riffed off that episode once; the first one that was in a zine. called Dark Star and it's on the ksarchive, if you're interested. if not, no biggie.

I'm Greywolf the Wanderer over there, but that was too lonmg a name for silly lj so I came up with this one instead, being a mad Inu-Yasha fan and all. =)

dunno if I asked ye this before -- what language are you translating from? if I already asked, well -- I'm the Alzheimer's poster child, lol...

Fundies are afraid of anything inspiring imagination or free thought. The very definition of sci-fi is thinking out the box

I was a slasher from the beginning, too. I was all over any hint of h/c or any kind of m/m friendship in TV shows and movies from early childhood on. I had no name for what I felt, but it was sure a delight to find out that not only was I not the only one who felt this way, people WROTE STORIES and DID ARTWORK! And so, a life spent in fandom. :-D

It really hit me how special fandom is, when I went to my first KiScon. There I was, first time on my own, on the other side of the world... and everyone was amazing! You should know these were all people who I'd never met before in RL, just via the internet. And then my wallet got stolen. With all my cards, including my creditcard in it. This could have been horrible, instead everyone banded together to help me and I ended up having an awesome time and lifechanging experience.

That's wat slash fandom is to me: a community of people, banding together, using its powers for good. (I guess that's why I get so upset with clique-ing: we should be all about tolerance, not exclusion) maybe that makes me a bit of a dreamer, but I wouldn't want to be different.
