Hi all,

Well, I got into slash quite accidentally.  I've been an S&H fan 
since I  was 9.  But this is just another tv show, right?  So I 
thought, but  every 10 years or so, the show would pop up in re-
runs somewhere and the  obsession came back.  This time around I 
was able to search the internet  to help feed it.   Putting 
"Starsky and Hutch" into a search engine  turned up both the gen 
and slash story archives, so I read... and read.

I'll read either gen or slash, but the only fandom I'm really 
interested  in at the moment is S&H.  I think the appeal of slash 
to me is that the  stories usually (well, pretty much always) 
explore the relationship  between the two more deeply than gen 
stories do... nothing wrong with  the sex scenes either!

The closet is tightly closed, as only my on-line friends know 
about my  slash reading, and I think it's going to stay that way, 
at least for the  foreseeable future!
