Today's Webtip: Common People

An animated slashup featuring Kirk and Spock. Warning: Shatner singing ahead

I've always wondered how many people were aware of the existence of slash fiction. Frequently it consists of NSFW tales of romantic escapades between fictional characters that never hooked up in their official universe.

It's not something that I usually read, but decades online have made its existence impossible to ignore. Especially the Kirk/Spock combination. A lot of people seem convinced that there was more to their story than ever gets told.

What better way to tell it than through music? It turns out that Common People from Pulp could actually make a pretty decent song about the First Directive.
