Alice J. Mills Kirk/Spock (K/S) Fanzine Collection

 Collection
Identifier: MS-0224

Collection Organization

The collection consists of approximately 5 linear feet of fanzines, correspondence, audio cassettes, and fan art dating from approximately 1967-2014.

This collection may be of particular interest to scholars working in the fields of feminist theory, queer theory, fan studies, gender studies, science fiction and genre literature, as well as other aspects of late-20th century popular culture. The Star Trek fanfiction movement, and slash fiction in particular, was largely created in the early 1970s by women like Alice Mills- smart, interested women who wanted to carry on the joy they found in Gene Roddenberry’s creation after it left the airwaves. Even more, in his keystone work on fandom Textual Poachers, Henry Jenkins argues that “the emergence of media fandom can be seen, at least in part, as an effort to create a fan culture more open to women, within which female fans could make a contribution without encountering the entrenched power of long-time male fans” (48). These women used their shared passion for the Star Trek universe to express fandom on their terms, to create a strong community through fan outlets such as conventions and new technology such as the internet, and to use their creativity to explore new gender and social roles in a rapidly changing society.
