12, 22, 35, 47, and 48 for the Quaratine Questions

12) Man, I love strawberry and blueberry cream cheese on my bagels. I can eat that every day, no joke. Don’t care for much of anything else, unless it’s a bagel breakfast sandwich. 

22) I was very much into horses. Even had the Pony Pals book collection. 

35) Oh, that’s a hard one, but probably the surprised Pikachu. Not sure where I’d put it, probably on my arm or something. 

47) Chocolate and/or strawberry syrup, candies (especially gummy bears, YUM), maybe some nuts. It just really depends. 

48) Heck yeah, I love jell-o. I love the green lime flavor the most, for some reason.

TOS Kirk/Spock Masterpost

You asked for it. A whole post of slashy, vintage goodness. (new & improved) 

Incredible manip by @shadows-and-flames (Reblog at his original post here)

Officially Published Fiction

TOS Film Novelizations

Novelizations such as Roddenberry’s The Motion Picture are all available on archive.org, a free online library where you can join a waiting list to read almost any book online. Books in the public domain may be read immediately. Five books may be borrowed at once.

*Also available in an audio book format read by Leonard Nimoy, but unfortunately not linkable.

Officially Published Novels with Fan Connections

How many fan-written novels have been officially published and where can you read them? Here is the list according to Fanlore. Many with K/S undertones, some less subtle than others.

*Also available in an audiobook adaptation by Leonard Nimoy, possibly implying Nimoy’s endorsement.

The “Shatnerverse”

  • Star Trek Academy: Collision Course. Shatner’s most recent Star Trek novel. Introducing the beginnings of Kirk and Spock’s relationship, it was intended to be the first installment in a new series, but the next installment remains unpublished. (Not available to read online, but for God’s sake, get your hands on this.)

Linked below, if possible, are Shatner’s novels which take place after the events of TNG. (They do contain spoilers and may confuse you if you have not watched TNG.) Ashes is the first installment, etc.

Non Fiction

Outtakes, Interviews, and Appearances

There are so many, but these are the ones that stand out in my mind.

Books and Biographies

Also see this incomplete list of Star Trek fiction and non fiction across the entire franchise.  If not linked, check your local library; many of these titles are available in my town. If not in your town, don’t give up. Ask your librarian if you can request a book outside of your state or region.

  • Star Trek Lives! (1975) by Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Sondra Marshak, and Joan Winston (a/k/a the Holy Trinity). Incredible book about the fandom’s early years. (See also: Star Trek Lives! article on FanLore)
  • Star Trek Lives! 2 (1976) by James Blish
  • I Am Not Spock (1975) by Leonard Nimoy. Insightful autobiography about Nimoy’s career up to, during, and post-Star Trek.
  • The Making of the Trek Conventions: Or, How to Throw a Party for 12,000 of Your Most Intimate Friends by Joan Winston (See also: Joan Winston article on FanLore)
  • Shatner: Where No Man…: The Authorized Biography of William Shatner (1979)  by Myrna Culbreath, Sondra Marshak, (fannish authors of The Price of the Phoenix, etc.) and William Shatner himself
  • Star Trek Memories (1993) by William Shatner. An essential read. Many treasured anecdotes from the cast and crew.
  • Star Trek Movie Memories (1993) by William Shatner
  • I Am Spock (1995) by Leonard Nimoy. The updated version of I Am Not Spock. Expands on the information in the first autobiography with an emotionally experienced perspective. Also available in an audiobook adaptation read by Nimoy.
  • Boldly Writing: A Trekker Fan and Zine History, 1967-1987 (1996) by Joan Marie Verba
  • Get a Life! (1999) by William Shatner. See documentary of same name.
  • Up Till Now (2008) by William Shatner. Shatner’s very moving autobiography.
  • Shatner Rules (2011) by William Shatner, in which he briefly touches on K/S.
  • Leonard: My Fifty Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man (2016) by William Shatner. Repetitive if you’ve read these other biographies, but Bill’s heart is broken and you need to read this book.

Documentaries and Specials

To view the full list of Star Trek documentaries across the Star Trek franchise, click here.

  • Leonard Nimoy: Star Trek Memories (1983). Familiar anecdotes. A good option if you’re too busy to read I Am Spock.
  • William Shatner’s Star Trek Memories (1995). Includes interviews from TOS cast and crew members and video clips. Great to watch, but highly recommend the much richer and expansive book Star Trek Memories by William Shatner.
  • MIND MELD Secrets Behind the Voyage of a Lifetime (2001). Heart-to-heart with Bill and Leonard. Let this be the one you watch.
  • The Captains (2011). Bill interviews every star ship captain in the franchise, including Chris Pine, and gets sentimental, making peace with Kirk by the end.
  • Get a Life! (2012). The title is a reference to Shatner’s SNL skit in which he once mocked Star Trek fans. He spends this documentary exploring and appreciating the fandom.
  • For the Love of Spock (2016). Documentary by Nimoy’s son Adam. The tension between Adam and his father is uncomfortable but the documentary itself is insightful. K/S is also touched on.

K/S by Fans, for Fans

This is a masterpost and not a lecture (and believe me, I’ve had to keep myself on a leash), so, for reasons I’m not going to get into, photocopies of slash zines in their entirety are basically impossible to read online. Does it make me twitch, knowing there’s so many of them just rotting in people’s basements? Yes. Yes, it does. 

However, individual stories are fairly easy to track down on ksarchive, ao3, and independent sites. In fact, I am working on a zine spreadsheet (or database or list or idk, it’s a mess) with links to the stories that have made it online. It is as of April 2020 incomplete (keep checking my blog description). But in the meantime…

Historically Significant ‘Zines (Timeline and Where to Read)

  • Spockanalia (1967-1970). FanLore: “[Spockanalia] was the very first all-Star Trek fanzine ever published, done when the series was still in its first season on NBC.” Read here: Issue I Issue II Issue III Issue IV Issue V 
  • Grup Issue #3 (1974) contains the very first slash story ever published, and of course it is K/S. FanLore: “The point-of-view character appears to be Spock, and the story begins with someone else saying to him, ‘Shut up… we’re by no means setting a precedent.’ (A friend of mine points out the irony of that statement being the very first sentence of the very first printed K/S; this story was indeed setting a precedent that would extend through many other fandoms and affect many lives.)“ Warning: sexually explicit. Read the text here.
  • Alternative: The Epilog to Orion (1976) The first K/S zine. I can’t find it any of it online, but here is the article on FanLore.
  • The Sensuous Vulcan (1977). Contains “Desert Heat,” an early (though not the first) pon-farr-in-a-cave story that was the first to introduce the concept of Spock’s double-ridged genitalia. Warning: sexually explicit. Art of Desert Heat here. Read the story here.
  • Alien Brothers (1987) Although the first pon-farr-in-a-cave story ever,  “The Ring of Soshern,” was written as early as 1968, it remained unpublished until the late 80′s. Warning: sexually explicit. Read here (shared from my personal dropbox).

Here is FanLore’s list (and 3500+ photocopy samples) of TOS slash zines (mostly K/S). See this article on K/S history in general. See also this list of “early, early” K/S slash.

Finding the *Ancient Stuff* on ao3

Under “Search Works,” scroll all the way down to “Sort by” and put in “Date Updated,” then sort direction by “Ascending.” Thanks to @deadpanwalking for this tip. Please do not point out that it’s common sense or that I’m an idiot lmao

BNF’s of tumblr

This post wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging the backbone of the TOS, especially K/S, tumblr community. If I snubbed you, please forgive me; this is in no way an exhaustive list.

That’s the face you make when you’re the product of a democratic socialist utopian culture where the very concept of currency no longer exists and they’re still somehow not paying you enough to deal with this shite.

Scotty experiences a microagression and momentarily contemplates the potential political and diplomatic ramifications of murdering the only Vulcan on board a Starfleet flagship - 2256, colourised.

So there’s this “protocol officer” on board who’s supposed to prevent Kirk from… bending… the Prime Directive, and she wants dirt on the captain.

So she asks Spock.

And Spock just:
