==Acafanworks==
* Romantic Myth, Transcendence, and Star Trek Zines with Diana L. Veith, originally a 1982 lecture titled The Romantic Myth and Transcendence: A Feminist Interpretation of the Kirk/Spock Bond, which was revised and published as a 21-page article in "Erotic Universe: Sexuality and Fantastic Literature, edited by Donald Palumbo, Greenwood Press, 1986 ("With Russ, first academic work on slash. K/S only: gives history, examples. Gives chart of androgynous qualities of Kirk and Spock which gives slash writers opportunity to present them as not simply masculine or feminine, but whole people, in a relationship that joins personal integrity to fidelity to partner. Slave, masochistic stories not mentioned here." a 1993 K/S Bibliography, MPH's collection )
* "Romance, Eroticism, and/or Hurt/Comfort: What's Really Going On Here, an unpublished 8-page presentation given at the National Women's Studies Conference, Urbana, Illinois in 1986 ("credits British hurt/comfort KS as introducing a new sado-masochistic slant to slash. Slave stories discussed, American and British differences are illustrated with specific story examples." a 1993 K/S Bibliography, MPH's collection )
* Lamb may have been an advisor for the 1992 book Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth. "According to [T S], Patricia Lamb was one of Camille Bacon-Smith's committee members. Both Patricia and Camille are fans. But I guess Patricia is an academic too, and so maybe her academic loyalties won out over her fan loyalties and she didn't see fit to warn Camille about her unauthorized quoting and unsympathetic (maybe... in places, yes) version of fandom? Whatever the story is here, Camille was being read and refereed by another fan, and someone who should've known how many people she could be pissing off." -- from Virgule-L, quoted anonymously (April 28, 1993)
