What is VenicePlace? VenicePlace is a closed, invitation-only slash mailing list devoted to Starsky & Hutch. It is named after the building Hutch lived in for most of the series. We like to think of VenicePlace as a large, rambling virtual apartment building with unlimited space where we can all live next door to those two gorgeous cops and where every window has the same great view of the boys' bods when they come after work! In reality, Venice Place is a real building which still exists, and the neighborhood, Venice, is near the beach, and is considered an artist's colony. It also has a large gay population! Our mailing list has been around since Jan. 10, 1996, when it was started by Robin, the first list mom, with a grand total of three members. There were times in that first year when Robin wondered just how long VP might last. But VP didn't just last, it thrived. When Robin wasn't able to continue with it in 1998, I volunteered to take it over because it was too much fun to give up. This list is for the discussion of topics related to S/H, and is for the benefit of those who have a positive interest in further exploring aspects of S/H. Anti-slash sentiments are not welcomed, however, thoughtful, considerate debate is. Flamingo
