"Kirk/Spcok" was an evolving term. See Kirk/Spock (TOS), Slash Terminology, and History of Slash Fandom.
The list does not include relationship stories where the Kirk and Spock are emotionally close or best buddies forever, such as The Winged Dreamers (1972), which some fans considered "crypto K/S."
They are instead early examples of fiction that include a physically intimate or sexual component between them.
This list focuses on fiction in print zines that could be bought/traded for. It does not attempt to include the vast amounts of drawerfic and underground fiction that was written privately for one's self, a small group of friends, and was never intended for a "formal" zine.
