"Hurt/Comfort" in Trek Fanlit

"Hurt/Comfort" in Trek Fanlit is a 1981 essay by Patricia Hintz.
It was printed in APA Enterprise #1. 
For some additional context, see Timeline of Hurt/Comfort Meta.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the term hurt/comfort is a simple description of a complicated genre
* the author writes that it takes on a variety of forms in fiction, which in turn have elements of: 1) "get'em" in which most of the characters are killed off and the survivors must deal with that," 2) the "torture story" in which "the Klingon's latest version of their 'mindsifter' is tested out on a hapless Captain Kirk," 3) the 'Mary Sue' story in which the writer projects an alter ego of herself into the 23rd century and onto the Enterprise"
* why write hurt/comfort? 1) "to delve deeply into the characters by putting them up against the worst the entire universe (literally) can throw at them, and seeing how they cope," 2) in "which the 'hurt' is only the conflicts and loneliness within the characters themselves" -- The author states that their favorite are this last kind.
* the author mentions the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City

"I'm Not Cutting My Hair"

"I'm Not Cutting My Hair" is a slash Sentinel 132-page anthology. 
==Regarding the Trope==
The title of this zine reflects a trend/trope in the Sentinel fandom. As Senad developed a list culture that tried to keep from offending anyone, Sentinel slash fiction developed a growing list of warnings. The trend peaked in late 1999 or early 2000, when during a Senad discussion about warnings—with many people suggesting things that should be warned for—one fan asked that people warn for stories where Blair cuts his hair, which she personally found traumatic. The idea was quickly shouted down and the fan withdrew her request, but it was such an extreme one that word spread out to other fandoms, cementing Sentinel fandom's reputation at the time as the most-warned-for fandom ever.

"I AM HERE BECAUSE MY HEART IS BROKEN..."

"I AM HERE BECAUSE MY HEART IS BROKEN..." is a 1977 open letter to Star Trek fans written as a "news release being circulated to fen and news media countrywide." It takes its title by the emotional line spoken by Leonard Nimoy at Schuster Star Trek Conventions/1977 (September) New York City Schuster Star Trek Convention. 
 
The authors/fan organization who wrote this open letter is unknown, but it is not the same group of fans who were responsible for
Save the Star Trek Cast.
It is part of a proxy war in negotiations for Star Trek's return to the screen, in this case, as a television series that, in the end, never happened. 
Rumors abounded, statements were stated, egos were tweaked, allegiances were blatantly fanned, and feelings were hurt. Gene Roddenberry played to the fans as well as to Paramount and Nimoy and Shatner. Nimoy took his case to the fans as well as to Paramount and Roddenberry. And the fans were simultaneously encouraged, goaded, and scolded in this giant chess game and power-play.

"It Makes Me, a Minor, Uncomfortable": Media and Morality in Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom

"It Makes Me, a Minor, Uncomfortable": Media and Morality in Anti-Shippers' Policing of Online Fandom is a Master's thesis written by Victor Larsen, who holds a masters in Linguistics and Literature: English - Scandinavian, of Ghent University in Belgium. It analyses how language is used in anti-shipper posts and discourse to present a particular narrative about themselves and others. In addition to analyzing 500 posts on Tumblr between the years of 2015-2020, Larsen also draws on his own experiences in fandom to frame the findings and literature. The thesis places a large focusNote: "Voltron" is mentioned 33 times and "VLD" 38 times for a total of 71 mentions. (Patchlamb, 11/9/2022) on Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016), but covers other fandoms and ships briefly.
==Abstract==
== Topics Covered ==
* Klance vs Sheith
* Social Justice and Fandom
* Harassment in online spaces
* Minors in Fandom
* Fiction vs. Reality Discussion
== Initial fannish attention and spread ==
A screenshots from the paper, as well as a link to the thesis was first posted by proshipper Tumblr user pohjanneito on October 21, 2022.
The post gained over 8,500 notes in only a few weeks.
===Reactions===
Reactions in the comments of the post varied widely. Certain users expressed being fascinated with the topic and how anti communities function. Others were confused why someone would write an academic thesis on shipping and fandom at all, suggesting that they felt sorry for the professors needing to grade it. Much of the discussion, however, was dominated by arguments on both sides of whether writing and/or reading underage ships equated to pedophilia and grooming of potential victims. Some users complained about the difficulty of filtering out certain content (i.e. incest) and having to learn specific ship tags to avoid it.

"KOF94's internal eval was so low that I feared it'd be axed"

"KOF94's internal eval was so low that I feared it'd be axed" is the first sentence of an untitled tweet made by Mitsuo Kodama. In The King of Fighters fandom, Kodama is most known for being the former in-house designer of graphics and effects for SNK titles, including many KOF ones. The tweet itself was in Japanese, but there was a translation by that helped the tweet circulate the English-speaking KOF fandom and beyond. While the first tweet by Kodama would reach 336.7K views as of January 2024, the translation would reach 643.2K views, and a popular quote tweet of that reached 1.1M Views.As of January 1st, 2024
The first tweet in the thread was made on December 5th and is art by Kodama of Kyo Kusanagi, the main character of KOF. The art was well received. Later, on December 12th, which is both Kodama's and Kyo's birthday, Kodama retweeted the art with an added caption. The tweet is as follows, as well as the follow-up tweet:
Many fans were surprised at the shout out to fujoshis, since the majority of KOF's fanbase are not fans of yaoi. However, KOF has had a long history of M/M fanworks and doujinshi, especially for the juggernaut KOF ship Iori Yagami x Kyo Kusanagi. 
This tweet drew comparisons to an interview with Yoshiyuki Tomino of Gundam fame, who said in that many of the earliest Gundam fans were women, by around a 9 to 10 ratio with Male fans. An interview with Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, titled Living Star Trek: How Two Women Breathed New Life into the Franchise, was also linked in the thread as another example of "fujoshi" saving otherwise forgotten media with fanworks. Also discussed was the fandom for the game Touken Ranbu. Primarily made up of women, they have helped preserve historic swords out of their love for their humanized versions in the game.
==Quotes to Kodama's Tweet==
Kodama responded to some tweets, sharing tidbits that some Female fans of KOF94 called Kyo "Moe-taro" during 1994 if they didn't know what his name was and responding to a Female fan who dislikes the Fujoshi label.
== Quotes to Gosokkyu's Tweet ==
==Rune_Sa_Riik's Quote Tweet==
The most popular quote tweet was one by Rune_Sa_Riik, who made a meme. This quote tweet itself has many quote tweets. Since this meme doesn't reference KOF directly, many were more general, and the original tweet fully escaped containment from the KOF fandom.
== It Reaches KOF Facebook ==
The tweet would later be screenshoted and re-posted on several websites, namely Facebook, which has large Spanish-speaking KOF communities.
* , the tweet on THE SHITPOST OF FIGHTERS, a Facebook community.
* , the tweet on Personajes de SNK que serian miembros LGBT+, a Facebook community.

"Lez" Done-Took a Poll!

Science fiction zine Le Zombie published a readers' poll in its 15th issue (October 14, 1939). The survey asked about the most popular fans, fanzines, and professional SF magazines.
According to editor Bob Tucker, 90 postcards were sent out and 47 official cards were returned. 14 unofficial cards were rejected. Tucker also noted that (in his opinion) two fans had tried to disguise their handwriting and vote for themselves as most popular fan.
Issue 16 revealed that the 14 unofficial cards all belonged to members of the Los Angeles Science Fiction League. Tucker said that an official postcard from Russ Hodgkins was the only one that could be counted, and that the only change in the final rankings would have been moving Voice of the Imagi-Nation up to third place in the fan magazine ranking.Exchange between Forrest J Ackerman & Bob Tucker in Le Zombie, issue 16 page 5 (October 28, 1939)
A more extensive fan survey took place in 1940-1941 with Art Widner's Poll.

"Netfic is free, so stop complaining."

"Netfic is free, so stop complaining." is an essay by Arduinna. 
It was "written in response to far too many people using the argument that because net fans don't pay for stories, they have no right to say they don't like the stories for any reason whatsoever." 
The essay, posted to Essays: Rants and Rambles, touched upon, among other things, the Gift Economy of fandom, "rights" of fans, time equals money, feedback, and the right to complain.
Written in 2000, it is an interesting comment on the costs of infastructure when home computers were much more of a rarity.
