[twink-gods-and-olive-oil]

I still remember the day I first watched Star Trek and I thought, "Wow, Kirk and Spock would make a really good couple, I wonder if there's anyone who ships them," and then I looked up 'Kirk and Spock' on the Internet and the first thing that came up was the fucking Wikipedia article about the history of slash fiction and that it was Kirk and Spock who invented modern fandom.

The Ending of 'The Search for Spock' Hits Different

Kirk: "What I have done, I had to do."

Sarek: "At what cost? Your ship? You son?"

Kirk: "If I hadn't tried, the cost would have been my soul."

The ending of 'The Search for Spock' is so beautiful.

Kirk, having gone on this incredible journey of gathering his crew around him to steal the Enterprise - is so full of conviction at the end of it. That what he did was not only right but righteous, that it was worth the cost, that the price he had to pay paled in comparison to losing the other half of his soul - Spock.

He sacrifices his ship to give his crew a chance to survive. He is in mourning over the young son he never truly got to know. And at the end of it, the man who emerges is still one of principle, honor, and dedication to his crew, because that is who he is.

He doesn't believe in no-win scenarios. In 'The Wrath of Khan,' his faith is deeply shaken, but in 'The Search for Spock,' you can see that he regains something he'd lost - hope.

When Spock remembers his Captain, he doesn't address him by rank. He doesn't call him "James T. Kirk." He says, "Your name is Jim."

And that is such a soft moment between them, and that is the moment it all became worth it for Kirk, the moment his faith was rekindled.

He and Spock share a love that defies death, one which transcends all barriers of space or time. They are each other's perfect complements and it's beautiful to see.

Spock: if you're asking the logical decision to make -

Kirk: No, I'm not. The mission of the Enterprise is to seek out and contact alien life.

Spock: Has it occurred to you that there's a certain inefficiency in constantly questioning me on things you've already made up your mind about?

Kirk: It gives me emotional security.

[philon-awards]

THE PHILON AWARDS ARE BACK!

KiScon is honoured to announce the relaunch of the Philon Awards. Established by Jenna Sinclair and Shelley Butler in 1997, they were an annual event organised by The K/S Press to honour outstanding authors and artists in K/S fandom. With the permission and support of Jenna and Shelley, KiScon is resuming this beautiful tradition.

There are 8 categories:

Short fic (word count under 10K)

Long fic (word count 10K-50K)

Novella/novel (word count over 50K)

Podfic

Traditional Art

Digital Art

Poetry

Zines

For each category the voters will determine a Gold (first place) and a Silver (second place) winner.

Rules

Nominating and Voting:

Nominations are open until 31 August, 2023. Each fan can nominate up to 3 works per category, but you cannot nominate the same work twice.

For a work to make it onto the voting ballot, it needs at least 3 nominations. Before we add it to the ballot, we will get in touch with the creator to ask whether they are fine with this!

Voting is open from 10 September to 1 November, 2023.

The winners will be announced during KiScon 2023. Each winner will receive a certificate and a small prize.

Nominating and voting both take place via Google Forms, and you need to be logged in in order to submit the form; this ensures that people do not nominate or vote multiple times for the same work. If we suspect sockpuppet activity, we will get in touch for clarification. We keep the nomination and voting process completely confidential! Only the KiScon concom will see the submitted forms.

You can submit the nominations form only once, but you can edit your responses if you need to add or change something (just follow the link in the email you receive after submitting the form). Please make sure to include every fanwork you want to see on the shortlist. You cannot edit your responses after nominations have closed.

Fanworks:

The work must focus on the pairing Kirk/Spock or Kirk & Spock. Slash (romantic and/or sexual relationship) and gen (friendship) are equally eligible. If a fic includes Kirk and/or Spock in relationships with other characters, be they canonical or original, this does not disqualify the work for the Philon Awards, as long as the focus is clearly on Kirk and Spock's relationship.

Art must feature Kirk or Spock or both of them; additional characters in the artwork are allowed, but no depiction of Kirk/Other or Spock/Other.

All universes are welcome: TOS (series and movies), TAS, and reboot, Discovery and Strange New Worlds. AUs and mirror universe are equally allowed. Crossovers between different Trek franchises or between Trek and other media are permitted, as long as Kirk and Spock are the work’s main characters.

RPF works (e.g. Shatnoy) are not eligible.

All ratings and genres are allowed. If a work among your nominations includes strong elements that would merit a warning on the AO3 (e.g. rape, major character death etc.), we'd appreciate a heads-up on the nominations form, so that we can make sure to include the warning on the shortlist.

The work must be complete. It can be part of a series, but the work itself must not be a WIP (missing chapters or a draft/unfinished sketch).

The work must have been created and published (print or online) after KiScon 2022. So everything from 7 November 2022 onwards until the end of the nomination phase (31 August 2023) is eligible. Reprints or uploads of earlier works (e.g. a fic you wrote and published a few years ago and uploaded to the AO3 only recently) cannot take part in this contest.

For podfic the creation/publication date of the actual podfic counts, not of the written fic that inspired it.

AI-generated fic is NOT allowed.

Traditional art means that it was hand-drawn or hand-painted; scanning or photographing the finished work in order to publish it online is allowed, of course.

With digital art, we mean art that was created by a fan artist directly on a tablet or computer, or art that started out as hand-drawn and underwent significant digital alterations in the next steps. We do NOT allow AI-generated art! Manips based on still images or photos of the actors are not eligible in this contest.

Zines: Both e-zines and print zines published between 7 November 2022 and 31 August 2023 are eligible.

Last but not least: these awards are meant to be fun and a celebration of the K/S fandom. The shortlist will double as lovely rec list! We get to talk about our faves and let the creators know that we love their works.

You can fill in the nominations form embedded on the KiScon website, or (if your device does not display it properly) you can find it directly at this link.

***

They made me kiss you!

“Why have you brought us here?” Kirk demanded from one of the aliens talking to them.

Kirk and Spock having been transported to a gallery of sorts, living quarters but with a large window up front where various beings were gawking at them.

“It’s really quite simple. You are specimens of the highest caliber and we want to see you, mate.”

Kirk and Spock exchanged confused glances.

“In front of everyone?” Spock asked.

“Of course. It is for all our entertainment.”

Spock and Kirk looked at each other before Kirk drew Spock in, kissing him passionately.

“When in Rome...”

“Indeed!”

Is It Canon? Kirk/Spock Edition

[celestialvoyeur]

💛💙 SPIRK FIC REC 💙💛

The first of MANY Spirk fic recs to come. This is a wonderful story that explores the time when Kirk and Spock are apart between the end of TOS and TMP, and what happens when they can’t bear to be separated any longer 🥰

Past submission deadline - but you can still post works!

Aaaaand we are past the official posting deadline!

A big, heartfelt thank you from the mods to everyone who managed to submit their work(s) on time. The cup of our 2024 collection runneth over with K/S goodness. 80 works have been posted so far!

"So far"? You ask. What does the mod mean by "so far" if we are past the deadline anyway...?

So here's the thing: you can still post to the collection. If real life kept you from fannish endeavours, or you ran out of energy or time, or the muse was just uncooperative, please do not throw away your idea or your half-written work, but keep working on it.

We have deadlines in order to make the mods' life a bit easier, and to ensure that there are enough works in the collection before it goes live on the 22nd, and also to give y'all a push to get things done. With the collection now flowing over with riches, we can afford to be lenient and actively encourage you to complete what you started, or to add one more work if you happened to stumble upon another inspiring prompt just now. (See the prompt list here.)

The works will go live on Friday, 22 March 2024, 12:01 AM UTC, with their creators still being kept secret at that point. Creators will be revealed at the closing of the fest, on Tuesday, 26 March 2024, 12:01 AM UTC. This is also the cut-off moment when the collection will be closed to submissions.

But until then... feel free to post your fic, art, poetry, podfic etc. Just make sure to have it complete and in its final version when you post it. If you have any questions or need help with anything (e.g. how to embed images, how to post etc), please get in touch with us here.

Thank you all so much for taking part in our event! <3
