The Trek newsgroups evolved into more and more discussion over the years from 1994 to 1996 (when I was most active on them), but when I first joined most of the posts were fic, and most of the people I met were either writing fic, or responding to fic I wrote.

Oh, very interesting! I wonder if it felt so different to me because the mailing lists, at least the early ones I was on, split out discussion and fiction, so the discussions could really dig in and get going. And IME they always got described as "the main list" (or big list, or just list) and "the fic[tion] list", giving the discussion lists that little extra nudge linguistically.

KSarchive.com exists because of the divide between slash and gen fans.

I still remember my sheer glee when you announced it. <3 TOS was my formative fandom, way back when, and K/S was my formative pairing, and it was such a moment of "oh YAY!"
