Jeff Atwood on Nostr: I had to have a somewhat uncomfortable conversation with a fellow traveller (10+ ...
I had to have a somewhat uncomfortable conversation with a fellow traveller (10+ years older than me?) at the NM airport who was very clearly wearing a Spock/Kirk slash fiction shirt. I made a point of walking by him a few times to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. I just wanted to gently let him know what exactly he was signalling. He had definitely never heard the term "slash fiction" and pointedly asked me what it was. I was like.. uh.. er.. some people really want there to be a romance between Spock and Kirk and that created a whole.. uh.. genre of fan fiction? How does one explain any of this, really?
