Reactions and Reviews
I personally do abhor the "/" idea, but certainly haven't dropped out of S/H fandom. Being part of a minority doesn't matter to me. Who cares who's minority and who's majority, it's what the individual really feels. There are people who aren't so open-minded, unlike yourself for example, therefore the idea of S/H is of no embarrassment. The other element, like myself, find words like 'sex' and 'sexual' embarrassing, therefore it is no fun reading sexual, suggestive stories which we find in our fave fandom of S&H. Why spoil a good thing?
The worst S/H I ever read were two stories in PUSHIN' THE ODDS fanzine, called..."Fall With Lucifer" and "Fountain of Sorrow." Fortunately, they were on red paper and almost unreadable!! Both were utterly disgusting and anyone liking those kind of stories must have a warped mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm not stopping anyone from reading what they want to read or fantasise with. We, as the non-S/H-ers, are supposed to respect others, so let's have a bit more understanding in our direction for a change! [1]
"Fall With Lucifer" by Jeannie Mai Butkis is S/H, post-"Sweet Revenge." Starsky rages around in a near-homicidal fury for 25 pages because Hutch mentions he is in love with him. Everybody else tells Starsky he's a bigot, so he goes to apologize to Hutch, and they wind up on the couch together, the end. Starsky's homophobic anger is so extreme it's cartoonish, as well as being totally out of character. Further more, in real life, any conviction as irrationally based as his seems to be does not yield all of a sudden to blandishments of logic or threats of ostracism, nor then vanish without a trace after a single session of love.
