Excellent essay! I love re-visiting my very first slash pairing. :)
I have been a slasher since the Dawn of Time. Shows I watched as a kid? I was waaay more interested in the friendship between the male partners than any they had with the Bimbo of the Week. When I discovered fandom, I loved the friendship fics best, and when slash debuted, YES!!! I knew what it was I'd been thinking and feeling and now knew what to call it.
Kirk/Spock was my first slash obsession and it's been a wild, fun ride! I have other obsessions, some new, some old, but all hail the Mother Ship of K/S! :)
