Well, this might be funny story, but it's true.
I was at my desk in my office with my colleagues when I first found
slash stories of Starsky & Hutch. I was browsing web under Starsky
and Hutch during my lunch time, and found Alexis's "Cost of Love", but
I had no idea then that it was slash!
First I was simply glad that someone was still interested in the guys
and made some stories of the show. I told my colleagues who Starsky
and Hutch were because they didn't know the guys. They asked me to translate
the story into Japanese. So, I read it for them, translating into Japanese.
I realized soon, however, that something was, ...uh, unusual, I say.
There were plenty of gorgeous XXX scenes in the story. Just how could
I read it for them in the office??? (My voice trembling with excitement,
my whole body shivering like I am in the story myself...)
I stopped reading it, then closed the browser.
On that very evening, as soon as I came home back from work, I re-started
reading the story. (It is natural reaction after all!!!)
But I felt that the two characters in it could not fit into my imagination.
(Sorry for mentioning this, Alexis, but I really felt that then!)
Then I began searching more stories that night, and I found "Total eclipse of
the heart" on the archive.
Well, I felt the same feeling as I read Cost of Love first, but I soon found
myself so addicted to the story that I almost lost sleep.
I think it was someday in March this year. Since then I have been too addicted
to SH stories to do anything else, and I can't stop myself checkingevery
available
sites for more stories everyday!
I don't say I'm a slash person myself. I enjoy reading both slash and gen.
But sometimes I feel that I'm not satisfied enough with some slash stories.
The why is because the first slash story, that I was really addicted to was
Flamingo's "Total Eclipse...", and it was so colorful to me that I can't be
satisfied with some simple slash stories now.
So I guess you got another one who can blame you and your incredibly
gorgeous "Total Eclipse...". Don't you think, Flamingo???
