Where No Fan Has Gone Before

Fandom. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship fanfiction. Its continuing mission: to explore the love fans have for their favorite characters in media; to connect with other people who are also feral for their ships of choice; to boldly go where no fan has gone before! Join Kristin and Emily as they talk about the legacy of Star Trek in fanfiction, particularly the Kirk/Spock relationship and its influence on "slash" writing.
