 (Pardon me if this subject's been on net.startrek before ... I haven't
  subscribed in some time.)

 One of our local weekly newspapers has published an article describing
 a genre of women's erotica, referred to as "K/S" ( Kirk/Spock ). 

 K/S, according to the article, is the result of a sub-rosa collaboration
 of amateur writers and artists who distribute Xerox copies of their work
 via newsletters and SF conventions.  It's based on the premise that Kirk
 and Spock are lovers who are "mind-melded" until death.  The literature
 uses many of the familiar Star Trek characters, and plot devices like
 "pon farr" (the Vulcan "time of mating").  Using the sci-fi scenario
 allows the writers to avoid the cultural gender-stereotyping found in
 most men's erotic literature.

 I'd be curious to know if anyone has seen examples of this, and whether
 they'd care to post excerpts to the net.
