Question: Super Trekker & longtime fanzine writer Roberta Rogan explains that reworking Star Trek characters to create never-seen stories is much like various Greek poets creating differing mythologies with the same group of heroes & gods.

K/S stories involve Kirk & Spock having constant steamy homosexual escapades throughout their five-year mission exploring strange new orifices, with Spock initiating Kirk into the Vulcan lap meld. Why does Rogan find these stories so awful that she says, "It seems to me you're not writing literature anymore"?
