==Excerpts from the Discussion==
The excerpts below are from a longer post discussion titled .
A fan named Chris Carter, not THAT Chris Carter In 1994, JMS was excited by the possibility that it was Chris Carter who was on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5: "From: jmsatb5@aol.com (Jms at B5), Subject: Church of Chris Carter WAS, To: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated, Date: 12/31/1994 11:49:00 AM: Waitaminnit...just wait one friggin' minute...is or is not the Chris Carter of teleport.com who logs on here, to whom I've communicated on numerous occasions, THE Chris Carter of X-Files, or another? If the 	 answer is "another," that's a *terrible* thing to do to me; if the answer is yes.... Yo! Chris! (waving arms) There are maybe two or three shows eachweek that I endeavor to catch; yours is one of them. Absolutely terrific. Terrific writing and performances, and some *very* nice cinematography and direction. Probably one of the best shows around. It's one of the few shows that, if we miss it, we'll call around to all our friends (both of them) and see if they taped X-Files. Good to see somebody else doing it *right* out there. jms -- rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated , December 31, 1994 Turns out this Chris Carter was a fan in Portland, Oregon. -- Church of Chris Carter WA, December 31, 1994 , wrote:

How slash saved me

How slash saved me is an article in a zine called "Good Girl" by Audrey Lemon. It is cited in Kirk, Honey. It's Me, Spock!.
It is a fan's introduction and foray into slash. She attempts to understand why slash appeals to her, talks about geek culture, discusses hurt/comfort, and explores the uncomfortable role of females in slash fiction. 
She condenses all the current theories of why slash is popular and admits there is an essence of truth to all of them but "...the fascination of slash is not a cerebral one. Its appeal lies much further south of the cranium, and it taps into things that are deeper, more visceral, and sometimes more disturbing than any of these theories touch on."
She ends the article by writing: "It made me feel like I was entided to my fantasies. Entided to my desires, not trespassing on ground reserved for the thin, the hip, the beautiful. And finally, when I met another slasher who was interested not only in my stories but in the troubled body I had excluded from them, I made an important discovery. By writing my body out of my stories I had, somehow, written myself back into my body. It was as though, having come back to it from an unexpected angle, I found it wasn't so dangerous and uncomfortable a place after all. And suddenly it seemed like it might all be worth it after all - like I could move beyond the realm offantasy and embrace the reality. For now that my body felt like somewhere I could inhabit without fear, I felt I could, for perhaps the first time, truly share it."
