Yay!

\o/ for the KirkSpockCentral maintainers to decide to keep the list! *relieved*

I'm not much into K/S without Bones *cough* but I've attended three great K/S cons due to that list, and would've been very sad to see it go. AFAIS it's still one of the best starting points if you want to connect to the old zine scene.

There are a lot of K/Sers on my flist so I'm glad to see this. =D 'Cause, yeah. I like Spock/McCoy. I like Kirk/McCoy. I like Spock/Kirk/McCoy. But just Kirk/Spock? ... Nah.

No Bones = No Snarky Comments, no fighting, No fun, and thus no Nikita. ;)

Cannot FATHOM why there isn't more McCoy love. Kirk/Spock is just so...boring and missing something SO essential to their dynamic. Without McCoy it is just dull.

Even the one K/S I read that I actually liked 'Deep Elam Blues' because it had so much H/C and torture and finally freedom - I cannot understand why in the universe McCoy and the rest of the crew wouldn't have rescued them somehow or died trying AND especially why they wouldn't go to McCoy for help - they BOTH had serious medical issues and of course they could trust him. I know there's a sequel, but McCoy plays a small OOC part and I don't like it so it stand alone as the one K/S I like...while wishing desperately for McCoy to show up and fix their hurts.

I can see K/S in TOS, I do, even though it doesn't float my boat. But in Reboot, it doesn't work zilch for me :)

I'm damn happy that Karl Urban was such a fabulous McCoy that he really increased the McCoy fanbase in trek fandom. In the st_respect voting, Urban's McCoy was the character most fans would do - that's been really warming my heart *g*

This said, I really love Greywolf's series which is - despite being K/S - still clearly McCoy-positive, as is the writer himself. But you're right, it would've been even greater for a McCoy fan to have him be a real part of that relationship later :)

Well, of course immediately after I commented I had to reread the first part of the series again. ;) Poor Spock suffers dreadfully in this one. And while Kirk is great and saves him...well, you know full well who I'd rather have save him. I'm not sure I have the rest of the series on my computer, I need to read it again, I just know it doesn't end up in a threesome so kinda turns me off. LOL I still find it hard to believe that Kirk, while wanting to avoid Starfleet and worried about his wire, wouldn't trust his oldest friend McCoy sooner even if JUST to get Spock the medical treatment he so desperately needs. Spock with a damaged voice and mind that bad just HURTS.

And yes, the new love for McCoy is great...but still, it's an imitation (no matter how good) of the original one and the character would never have been half as good if not for De's own personality and acting ability that gave so much to McCoy. Just like Nimoy and Spock - which is why the movie disappoints in such an essential way - it isn't Nimoy's Spock in the new Spock...just isn't... Maybe a second movie with him less emotionl and beating Kirk up constantly will help. ;-) And if he dumps Uhura. Ahem. Sorry, new Uhura sucks, IMHO.
