The first Kirk/Spock Online Festival (KSOF 2000) was a joint online/printzine challenge, where all stories submitted would be posted online at Lady Kardasi's Domain and then selected stories would be included and distributed in print form as the Festival zine.
Authors participating in the first KSOF were randomly allocated a "scenario" (story challenge), although according to the rules they could swap with other authors or ask for a second chance if they felt "no inspiration". Available and allocated scenarios, associated authors, and story status were all listed on the page at Lady Kardasi's Domain. The published stories eventually included scenarios filled by more than one author, more than one scenario used for a single story, poetry with no associated scenario and artwork added "just for the fun of it".KSOF 2000 Main Page, Oct 2000 (accessed 6 April 2022)
The stories were released in two 'waves', the first in October 2000, the second in November of the same year.

An additional rule was added to the KSOF 2000 rules list at Lady Kardasi's Domain:
==Example Scenarios==
Some of the filled and unfilled scenarios that were proposed for KSOF 2000.
===Filled===
* Spock sees Kirk throwing eyes at another man and decides that this is enough! He can take the women, the way he's always done, but Kirk eyeing another guy? Nope. Vulcan jealousy is awakened.
* First time story in a Romulan Jail.
* Spock reveals that he's in love with Kirk but Spock does not see the logic in such a liaison.
* V-ger never happened. Kirk is lonely and bored and angry on Earth. His marriage to Lori just broke up and Spock is about to enter his final rites at the Kohlinari. Will Kirk just let this happen?
* Spock and Kirk have sex on the Bridge of the Enterprise.
===Unfilled===
* Spock spots Kirk in a gay bar. What happens?
* A being with *almost* godlike powers (think Q or Trelane) pops up without warning on the Enterprise. The alien's historical studies have led him/her to conclude that the best lovers in the galaxy are the pre-reform Vulcans. But his powers can't bring him back that far in time, and the Enterprise is the nearest ship around that has the only Vulcan in it. The alien kidnaps the dismayed Spock for his experiments, with a "promise" that he will set the Vulcan free from his inhibitions in no time at all. Kirk sets off in hot pursuit.
* Spock sleepwalks and amazing things are revealed.
==Wave 1==
* The Bonding Contingent by Bats for the scenario: AU - Kirk and Spock have never met. A marriage between them is arranged. It is up to the author to explain why a same-sex marriage is done.
* Eros by Bats for the scenario: Kirk and Spock are in a place reminiscent of ancient Greece.They are in negotiations for something that Starfleet desperately needs. Homosexuality is very common here, and of course readily accepted. Spock hasn't encountered this very often, but sees Kirk's reaction to it - which is rather positive and realizes that his dreams and hopes may not be so far-fetched after all. He lures Kirk with him to some kind of gathering and there the participants are all male gay couples.... Perhaps some semi-public sex ensues.
* The Waterfall Dance by Bats for the scenario: Spock is of feline ancestry and does not like to get wet, while one of Kirk's fondest dreams is to make love to his bondmate in a watershower, a lake, a pool or perhaps a bathtub.
* Oh You Kid by bigmisssunbeam for the scenario: Sex in a Jefferies tube.
* But Never Parted on AO3 by Dreadnought for the scenario: Spock and Kirk are lovers. Due to Starfleet protocols they have to keep their relationship secret. Unfortunately the truth is revealed. Starfleet decides to separate the best command team they've got. What do Kirk and Spock do?
* Jealous Mistress by Dreadnought for two scenarios: Spock is of feline ancestry and does not like to get wet, while one of Kirk's fondest dreams is to make love to his bondmate in a watershower, a lake, a pool or perhaps a bathtub and Spock sees Kirk throwing eyes at another man and decides that this is enough! He can take the women, the way he's always done, but Kirk eyeing another guy? Nope. Vulcan jealousy is awakened.
