sophinisba | Star Trek links

I found these parody Kirk/Spock pon farr stories yesterday through a link on a Fanlore page (lots more variations listed there) and they made me laugh a lot, so I thought I'd pass on the links. Logic and Lubricity, or, K/S as told by Jane Austen; with some less seemly parts, by Mary Ellen Curtin. And, for you academics out there (and those who like to laugh at academics), Unpacking Pon Farr: Kirk, Spock, and the image of the female void by Brancher. (My favorite line: "Jim, is it possible that within the structure of this text, we could engage in the free play of signifiers?")

And just now ran into this article in The New York Observer analyzing the U.S. presidential race in terms of Kirk and Spock: Be Logical, Captain! by Jason Horowitz. (That article doesn't take a slashy angle, but someone else sure could.)
