She hated it because we had taken her "darling boys" and aged them fifteen years. To get back at us for this unpardonable sin, she drew an illustration of Kirk and Spock as she figured they would look 15 years hence. Spock didn't change much, given his Vulcan heritage. But Kirk – well, in her own words, he was a "fat old fool", and the illo became known as "the fat old fool illo". Actually, viewing it today, he doesn't look that bad, double chin, pot belly and all! We printed it, with much protestation on our part, and threats by Pat to pull all her illos if we yanked it. But when we reprinted that issue, the illo had mysteriously gone missing!" -- Nancy Kippax's comments at Reminisce With Me/The Late '70s

File:Impactstart1.jpg|interior foldout art in Matter/Antimatter #2 (1979), reprinted in Impact (1985) -- "Every once in a while, a piece of K/S art comes along that is undeniably a classic. This two-page foldout is one of those pieces. Kirk and Spock are on their sides, mouths locked into a deeply passionate kiss. Spock has one arm cradled around Kirk‘s shoulders; the other hand is lovingly grasping Kirk‘s butt. It‘s done in black and white but so realistic it looks as if it‘s a photograph. It‘s available from the KSP Library, but you may want to look for a copy of this zine published in 1985 just to own this masterpiece. Once seen, it will never be forgotten. Just gorgeous! from The K/S Press #140 "

When I first started reading and writing K/S, I would visualize artist's interpretations of the characters rather than imagining the actors. For some stories, I'd have more stylized versions in my head (Gayle, and Leslie Fish, for example). Sometimes I'd visualize them as The Southern Cross or Caren Parnes or Merle Decker or Pat Stall versions. It all depended on the style of the story. I later found, through fannish conversations, lots of other people were doing exactly the same thing. conversation from a mailing list, quoted anonymously (Jul 11, 2009) }}
