Thank you for the link! Wow, Newsweek! I've seen mentions of slash all over TV lately (on most of my favorite shows) but this article is serious and you can't get much more mainstream than Newsweek. How cool would it be if girls start slashing K/S from the new film? Too cool.

That was ... startlingly sympathetic, non-sensational, and sane. ♥Newsweek♥

I was nervous clicking on the link, but that really was a nice article. Haha.

I saw a preview for Star Trek the other day, and as I was watching it the thought suddenly popped into my mind that this movie is bound to inspire a whole new generation of K/S slashers. Good times.

And it's not even a negative article! O_o

Oh my God.

What a difference four decades makes.

We've gone from being The Evil Gurlzz That Ruin Fandom For the Rest of Us (Boys) to respectable old ladies running literary erotica workshops.

Yeah, baby -- new hot young actors as K and S? More fresh K/S fans! (If only they have half the chemistry of Shatner and Nimoy.)
