K/S only: gives history, examples. Gives chart of androgynous qualities of Kirk and Spock which gives slash writers opportunity to present them as not simply masculine or feminine, but whole people, in a relationship that joins personal integrity to fidelity to partner.

But I guess Patricia is an academic too, and so maybe her academic loyalties won out over her fan loyalties and she didn't see fit to warn Camille about her unauthorized quoting and unsympathetic (maybe... in places, yes) version of fandom? Whatever the story is here, Camille was being read and refereed by another fan, and someone who should've known how many people she could be pissing off." -- from Virgule-L, quoted anonymously (April 28, 1993)
