Hokai, so. Hi. I'm Max. I joined this comm waaaay back in 2007 when BeexSam was just getting into the swing of things, and I mak emy triumphant return with an observation.
Now, stay with me. I know how this sounds. (Strange, that is.)
For those of you not in the know, Kirk/Spock is considered the first slash pairing that had widely published and publically available fanfiction. It is the grand daddy of all slash pairings. And with the new movie that came out a few months ago, Trekfics are at a premium. I got into that fandom pretty easily, and I like to think that I've got a basis on it.
Why is this girl yammering on about Trek, this is a Transformers comm! You say. Well.
I was reading Alan Dean Foster's novelization of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, and I came across something interesting. (As a point of interest, Alan Dean Foster also wrote the Star Trek movie tie-in novel, which had a few K/S-y moments that made me squee.)
"The yellow-and-black Autobot listened to all of this without comment. Now his radio cracked with the voice of a familiar television character intoning a brief snippet of dialogue from an old film.
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend."
"
That, my friends, is Spock, speaking to Kirk.
DO YOU SEE THE WILD OUTLANDISH CONCLUSION I HAVE COME TO?
So. BeexSam is the Kirk/Spock of Transformers. And Bee even QUOTED Spock.
So, you know, there's that.
