Author [[Joanna Russ]] wrote in her 1985 analysis of K/S zines that slash fandom at the time consisted of around 500 core fans and was 100% female.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gn9ul3LHiv4C|title=Cultural Studies|last1=Grossberg|first1=Lawrence|last2=Nelson|first2=Cary|last3=Treichler|first3=Paula|date=1 February 2013|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781135201265|language=en}}</ref> <blockquote>
"K/S not only speaks to my condition. It is written in Female. I don't mean that literally, of course. What I mean is that I can read it without translating it from the consensual, public world, which is sexist, and unconcerned with women per se, and managing to make it make sense to me and my condition."<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>
Russ observed that while science fiction fans looked down on ''Star Trek'' fans, ''Star Trek'' fans looked down on K/S writers.<ref name=":1">"Concerning K/S."

Zines were then sent to fans on a mailing list or sold at conventions. Many had high production values and some were sold at convention auctions for hundreds of dollars.<ref name=":0" />
