My dad, who is in his 70′s, discovered what slash was and then proceeded to write a sonnet to my mom about it.

From Fanlore, the fan run non-profit wiki about media fandom:
Nexus is a gen Star Trek: TOS fanzine anthology. There are six issues.
Several fan reviewers of the time refer to some stories as K/S; the contents skate really, really close to what fans today define as slash but were what fans in 1978 were defining as a relationship story, and perhaps what some would call pre-slash or simply smarm.
Issue 1
Nexus 1 was published in February 1978 and has 196 pages. The cover is by Gail Stark………
…..The zine also contained an ad for a writing contest. Winners would win a copy of Nexus #2. Entries were to be no longer than 5 pages single space typed and had to include the following paragraph:
Kirk watched with disbelief as Spock walked calmly into the turbolift. Clenching his fist against the mounting anger, Kirk stormed in after him. He waited for the lift doors to close before he spoke.“Just answer me one thing, Mr. Spock.” Kirk snapped. “Why the hell did you do it?”Spock turned, lifting one eyebrow in astonishment, “Captain,” he said indignantly, “I did not do it. It simply happened.” Kirk looked at him in open mouthed surprise. He leaned against the side of the turbolift in shock. “Mr. Spock, your Vulcan logic never ceases to amaze me.”This page brought to you by Fanlore’s Random Page Generator
Basically, more mixed-generation Star Trek fun. (First image can be found here.)
As with the other one, I didn’t correct the lighting to have the composites match in terms of a clear light-source, but OH WELL. Same shtick as before:
Kirk and Spock, made of combinations of actors past and present; Jim Kirk is a combination of William Shatner & Chris Pine, and Spock is a combination of Leonard Nimoy & Zachary Quinto.

Jim: You were going to show up to the party with a butt plug?!?!
Spock: I calculated that there was a 100% chance that I would be successful in seducing you…
Jim: Yeah? I mean I’m DTF but what are you going to wear to the party later?
Spock: It came with a skirt…
Jim: !!!!Happy Halloween!!!

Fascinating ;)
According to our friend at the EMP Museum (who is curating the 50th anniversary exhibit next year) none of the pants used on the show actually survived – it’s very difficult to find a pair nowadays because they all just disintegrated and fell apart over the years. …I found this to be a very amusing twist on the “exploding shirts” joke.
