VINTAGE HUMOR SPIRK FIC RECS

If you vibe with my sense of humor, I enthusiastically recommend checking out these funny 1990′s fics by Dana Austin Marsh.

I’ve linked them here because finding vintage fics on AO3 is an ordeal. The years are usually WAY off, the tags are nonexistant, and they usually have single digit comments and kudos. I stumbled across these by pure luck.

All of these fics made me laugh. Some are fascinating time capsules while a few feel like they could be written today. The thing that made them feel the most vintage is the constant use of the word “lover,” which is no longer in fashion to describe Kirk and Spock’s relationship. 

If you’re in need of a funny fic to perk you up, enjoy these treats!

1993 - Nothing to Sneeze At

While on a diplomatic mission, Kirk’s allergy to the inhabitants is remedied by a drug that he has an even worse reaction to. Originally published in 1993 in the print fanzine T’hy’la # 14

It’s fun to see a pre-AOS fic where Kirk is plagued by allergies! 

1994 - Enterprising Tours

Kirk and Spock decide to use different places on the Enterprise to make love while it is deserted during a re-fit, unaware that some crewmembers have started tours through the ship. Originally published in the 1994 print fanzine Kaleidoscope # 2, edited by Emily Adams.

1994 - By the Book

Kirk buys a sex manual and suggests to Spock they try out all the positions. Originally printed in 1994 in the print fanzine T’hy’la 15.

1994 - Rumor Has It

Kirk and Spock decide to use the rumor that they are lovers to discourage crewmembers from making a play for either of them. Originally published in 1994 in the print fanzine Matter/Antimatter # 11.

1996 - Lotions and Potions, Etc

Sulu tricks Spock into hosting a party to sell Sulu’s line of sex potions and toys, a situation that does not sit well with Spock’s lover, Kirk. Originally published in 1996 in the print fanzine Kaleidoscope 5.

1998 - From Rags to Riches

Kirk sues the scandal sheet that has been running stories with a slightly slanted take on the Enterprise’s missions, which all imply that he is using the ship to further his sexual conquests. Originally published in the 1998 print fanzine "First Time" # 47.

This one made me think of @cicaklah’s incredible One Man series. If you haven’t read it yet, treat yourself! 

1998 - Babes in the Woods ⭐

My second favorite of her fics! 

After complaining about how ill prepared newly graduated cadets are, Kirk is volunteered to lead a group on a survival course but he manages to bring his first officer, and lover, with him. Originally published in the print fanzine Kaleidoscope # 7(1998), Emily Adams, editor.

1999 - The Tribble With Troubles ⭐

My personal favorite! If you like my fics, you'll enjoy the heck out of this!

One tribble is left behind on the Enterprise. Originally published in the print fanzine Beyond Dreams 1 (1999).

the year is 2043. william shatner, 112, is grabbing his aide's hand, begging her to get closer, his hold unexpectedly strong

"when kirk and spock had sex kirk was always the top. he never took it up the ass" he says, before immediately flatlining

jim. when I feel friendship for you, I’m ashamed.

[dibblepots]

This would actually help me 😭😅

When encountering someone stuck in an Apology Loop, I do not uselessly ask, or worse, demand that they “stop apologizing.”

Rather, I have found it much more useful to affect a theatrical tone and formally “absolve” them. “Like a Renaissance pope, I absolve you, my child.” Usually the combination of having the absurdity of the situation highlit, combined with a touch of physiological release if I can get a laugh, is enough to soothe their nerves a bit and get them to break the loop. And who knows maybe they feel absolved I dunno I have an authoritative bearing

Summary: Each believing their feelings for the other to be unrequited, Kirk and Spock both sign up for the Federation Dating Service (F.D.S.) in search of love.

The latest update on this fic has me in AGONY for the next chapter. If you’re not reading it holy crap start and then come tell me how you like it because I need to flail about it.

This fic has everything: slow burn, mutual pining, letter writing, more pining, unrequited love, requited love, illustrations, twice weekly updates…

“Paths of Khan” - Wrath of Khan movie map, map key and some new details from my show at g1988. The original sold but prints are still available here.  Definitely one of my all-time favorites, still makes me cry like a baby.

[dibblepots]

Something’s….missing…..😐😑

But all together, I think I’m pretty happy with it 😅

WIP wondering how this is gonna turn out. I’m so scared I’m not going to do his beautiful hands justice 😭

DO THE THING EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE!

“No one is into this anymore. I really miss it…”

MY BRO! MY BABY! MY FRIEND!

YOU are still into it. BRING IT BACK!

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

[dibblepots]

Just….just pour it straight into the wound 😅

Bones out here healing people with the magical properties of salt shakers

[dibblepots]

No this is EXACTLY how I see him

Possibly controversial opinion: Captain Kirk (the TOS version) is not a playboy or a skirt chaser - he is a male femme fatale
