I am such a follower

May 13, 2009 14:46

Saw Star Trek yesterday. I wanted to be just a little smart and act like I understood anything about the movie at all, so I checked out a Kirk/Spock manifesto and watched a couple of old episodes before going and after seeing the movie, wanted more. Zachary Quinto was SMOKING and Christopher Pine'S eyes were very blue.

And finding this random old ( Read more... )

slash, boldly slashing where i've never slashed, dork, random, faggotry, recs, whut, *facepalm*

YOU'RE LIKE MY TV SOULMATE OR SMTHING, WE'RE IN ALL THE SAME FANDOMS ^___^ ifyouweremine May 13 2009, 20:40:30 UTC

LMAO at those videos! Especially the Monty Python one, I was cracking up. #big smile#

ALSO, DID YOU WANT (NEW) STAR TREK RECS??? BECAUSE I HAS THEM.

ETA: Thank you for the shout-out, BB! #GLOMPS#

*FACEPALM* Maybe just a couple of the REALLY GOOD ones.

And ha, I think we are tv soulmates. That or we both just have bad taste. :P

Gen recs:
Flashback
Jim has a lot less fun when he tries the Kobayashi Maru for the first time.

How to Avoid Kicking Puppies and Other Valuable Lessons in Leadership
Kirk attempting to be an authority figure

The Helmsman
Moments of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise. (Note: This one's got a tiny bit of het right at the end, just ignore that part)

Kirk/Spock recs:
Four Times Kirk Tried to Seduce Spock, and One Time He Succeeded

We Learn Each Other Slowly
Because this is a normal relationship that progresses along normal lines at a normal speed. Because either of them even knows what a normal relationship might look like.

THIS FANDOM NEEDS MORE PORN. OTHERWISE I END UP RECCING MORE GEN THAN SLASH, AND THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.

Also, LMAO, we do have bad taste...if by bad taste you mean AWESOME taste! #gigglesnorts#

LOLOL, I must have missed that episode! That is not Uhura, btw... no idea who that is, actually. A redshirt? Are chicks ever redshirts in the original series?

bigmamag May 13 2009, 20:51:28 UTC

Yeah, I'm shit with names. Oh well, Random Woman massaging his back, lol. I have no clue what shirt means what, that is how lame and new I am. \o

twasadark May 13 2009, 20:52:25 UTC

LOL! Love the K/S slash scene!

bigmamag May 14 2009, 03:12:32 UTC

I especially love their little musical addition, LOL. :D

Welcome to K/S. It gets better, I'm telling you. Forty years of fandom awesome.

bigmamag May 14 2009, 03:14:33 UTC

It's so intimidating but lovely! I never, ever thought I'd be in this fandom in any way at all. I've watched episodes of TOS now (and I even know what that means) and I think it's lovely.

Are there, like, classic Kirk/Spock stories that are like the big huge fics that everyone in this long ass fandom has read and loved? I'd love to read one or two of those.

sineala May 14 2009, 03:58:52 UTC

A lot of the really classic stuff is in zines. (Not that I've read most of it either; I'm just saying...)

Hmm. Everything Killa has written -- you can't go wrong with "Turning Point" and "Full Circle." ("Bitter Glass" was probably the first K/S story I ever read, and I love it to pieces, but it requires a knowledge of canon up through the movie Generations, so it may not make much sense. Plus, I wouldn't want to spoil you.)

She also has a vid to "Closer" -- you've probably seen it; everyone has by now -- that is entirely awesome, and a vid to "Dante's Prayer" about Star Trek III that generally makes me want to cry whenever I watch it. Neither of these are on the web anymore, I think. Sad.

The Foresmutters' Project hosts some old, old zinefic. The smutty stuff is here. Leslie Fish's "Shelter" is one of yer classic pon farr stories. I particularly like Ray Newton's "The Prize" there -- it's a K/S in warrior-Vulcan-past AU where Kirk's Spock's slave. Yeah, it's a genre ( ... )

bigmamag May 14 2009, 04:24:04 UTC

Oh I think the same person who wrote that stuff and did that Dante's Prayer vid did the shipping manifesto I read because I think this is the vid you are referring to and this is Closer. She doesn't have it on her site, but I followed the link from the manifesto and found it in a directory for her main site. I feel all special now. :D

Thanks for all the links, it'll definitely keep me busy until the end of forever, possibly. Adding this new interest to all my other interests means I'm now spending way too much time with fandom on all fronts.
