the three generations of fanfic:

spacemohawks:

teal-deer:

bevsi:

heymarauders:

livejournal, fanfiction.net and ao3
which one were you?

those quizilla ones where you play spin the bottle and end up making out in a closet with either orochimaru or troy bolton

THREE generations

THREE generations!? 

fucking HELL goddamn USENET LISTSERV TRANSFORMERS FANFIC jesus christ

motherfucker HAND MIMEOGRAPHED FANZINES DELIVERED BY THE POST OFFICE THROUGH MAILING LISTS 

with SHITTY SELF INSERT MONSTER MOVIE FANFIC BY FORREST ACKERMAN IN THE 40s and then later SAUCY KIRK / SPOCK SEX IN THE 70s

GOD DAMNED SHERLOCK FANS TITTERING IN SALONS ABOUT THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF ADVENTURES WITH THEIR FAVORITE DETECTIVES

FUCKING DANTE WITH HIS SELF INSERT BIBLE FANFIC

AND FINALLY VERGIL, COOING OVER HOMER

GET OFF MY LAWN*

* note: i was actually not part of this generation of fanfic, but it makes me mad when people forget that fandom as we know it today has existed since at least the 1930s and that fannish behavior and transformative works are AS OLD AS GODDAMN TIME 

spacemohawks get in here and be salty with me about these youngins who don’t even know about 1970s gay-ass Kirk / Spock fanfic GODDAMN THE Y OUTH OF TODAY

FANLORE.ORG: GO FORTH, MY DEAR CHILDREN. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

My friend airy-minotaur actually wrote her thesis on fanfiction/fandom history. So maybe give that a read! 

And OF COURSE if you ever have questions about K/S, fandom history in general, or whatever really, you can always send me an ask. 

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS. Know your fandom history.

Mommy Mohawks

Weren’t “lemon” and “slash” kinda concurrent for a bit before everyone just decided to go with “slash”?
