I really want to join the party and write Kirk/Spock from ST Reboot but I haven't seen the movie (either too broke, too tired, or the thought of going to a mall made me go under the bed and glare out, making ominous hissy noises like a tea kettle) and, well. I did force Becky to start playing Pokeymans! I am variously avenged

Amazingly enough my horrible horrible K/S fic-binge has not yet produced any weepy uke Spock. Actually, it's a lot more likely that Spock is topping. ;)

To echo akatonbo, Sabina also reports the S/K vastly outnumbers the K/S, actually, and she's been out in the trenches.

Your L-bomb project idea is swell. I've been annoyed for a while by the allergic rash reaction to any sign of the L-word, considering that uhh many beings who love really do use it--even male humans!--so avoiding it at all costs in fiction (whether slash or whatever) conversely becomes hilariously unnatural and contrived. Esp. if the author has already done a good job of demonstrating that the love is there.

Then again in some situations it really would be overkill. I tend to feel I have to avoid it in my fic because my fic is usu. so grossly waffy to begin with that the characters are already oozing mutual affection from their very pores.

Your L-bomb story would make an awesome K/S story, actually. As there is a VERY appropriate scene in the new ST movie when someone drops the L-bomb and it doesn't go over well. XD

Don't lie. I know it's waiting for me. It's just waiting for the right moment to strike. I can sense it.

Oh, it's there. Although not quite as easily stumbled upon as you might think, but it is there....

lurking. waiting for you. XD

But seriously. I think this fandom has a similar problem that the Highlander fandom had with soulbonds. I actually haven't come across THAT many stories where Kirk suddenly feels the need to declare his undying and woobly love for Spock/McCoy/Checkov/Uhura/Enterprise/Everyone. Or even that many stories where Spock is suddenly overcome by all these new feeeeeeelings and the need for sexytimes. What I do see a metric buttload of is: stories about how Spock mindmelds with Kirk/Uhura/McCoy for some contrived reason and suddenly their BONDED4LIFE 4 REALZ

And the "aliens made them do it" stories, can't forget those...

[lazulisong]

I think 'aliens made them do it' no longer registers on my radar as even WEIRD. orz I'd kind of like to see one where someone is like, DO IT and then they get back and they were like, Well, that was a slice, and wander off, instead of angsting all over the place and ending up fake-married.

[petronia]

Particularly since that is how they actually treated everything in the series anyway? XD; Like there was no character development arc dealing with the residual awkwardness after the Pon Farr bit or anything.

L-BOMB PROJECT. DO IT. DOOOOO IITTTTT. You can pay me back for the Pokeymans through the L-Bomb Project, yes.

I was going to suggest Arashi for it as well, but they probably tell each other that all the time anyway. And Nino going around professing his love for Matsumoto in order to freak him the fuck out and then laughing about it really isn't the same.

I would, however, totally approve of Shinkumi l-bombs.

[lazulisong]

oh man, Yankumi would FREAK THE FUCK OUT

[refracting]

Poke me on aim tonight so I can shove amusing K/S fic at you. :D
