1:00:00
who was calling himself
Ensign Jones,

1:00:03
and all of his stories,
of course, had to do with

1:00:06
Ensign Jones taking control
of the Enterprise,

1:00:09
or Ensign Jones goes
to the Klingon home world,

1:00:12
or, you know, stuff like that--
1:00:14
Ensign Jones
travels through time.

1:00:16
I write in the original
Trek genre,

1:00:19
involving the characters
of Kirk and Spock.

1:00:22
I write slash
that appears on the internet.

1:00:25
You're talking
about the K/S zines.

1:00:27
The Kirk/Spock fetish groups.
1:00:29
The term means one character
with another, like Kirk "slash" Spock.

1:00:34
We thought that either Gene or
the studio would put a stop to it,

1:00:37
but the studio never really
seemed to care

1:00:40
because we're talking
very small circulations.

1:00:41
We're all very normal ladies--
mostly housewives.

1:00:44
Who want to read sexual
stories about Kirk and Spock

1:00:48
but don't want to see them
with other women.

1:00:50
The mailing list I'm on
is completely anonymous.

1:00:53
Why is it important
that your identity not be revealed?

1:00:57
Because of the controversial nature.
1:00:59
We're living in a culture
that isn't as progressive,

1:01:02
so it's important
to avoid censure.

1:01:06
I write The Secret Logs
of Mistress Janeway.

1:01:09
This is a story
about Mistress Janeway

1:01:11
and how she ties up Ensign Kim
1:01:13
and beats Tuvok
with a riding crop.

1:01:15
That was rather interesting.
1:01:17
A fan made this.
1:01:18
He sculpted out of
an X-Men figure, repainted it--

1:01:22
complete with a whip,
cat-o'-nine-tails, handcuffs.

1:01:26
Man: Another fan wrote
a Klingon sex manual.

1:01:29
"There's no such thing
as safe sex in Klingon,

1:01:32
how to tell if your daughter
is seeing a Klingon,

1:01:34
meeting your Klingon,
initiating the mating ritual."

1:01:37
Worf and I went up,
and I pushed him,

1:01:39
he pushed me back.
We started wrestling.

1:01:41
And it's understood that
that is part of the Klingon culture.

1:01:43
The female pushing a man
or slapping a man is considered like,

1:01:45
"Hey, I want to go out with you.
I find you attractive."

1:01:48
Uh!
1:01:53
I don't have it with me
anymore-- I threw it away--

1:01:57
but they had made from latex
a Klingon condom.
