by All Teeth

Ever wonder what the statistics and odds were of the Kirk/Spock pairing and other slash pairings versus everything else? Now you have it. Lots of numbers and proof that slash rules all.

Star Trek: TOS and 2009 Slash Census

Star Trek original and 2009

(all numbers are approximate)

-Spock/Kirk TOS: 419

-Total Number of romance fics involving Kirk (TOS) in general: 508

-Total Number of romance fics involving Spock (TOS) in general: 864

So

-Kirk/Not Spock:86

-Spock/Not Kirk:445

It would seem that Spock is more popular with the ladies than Kirk is. Or is he?

-137 of these Spock romance fics pair him with Dr. McCoy.

-Spock/Not Kirk or McCoy:308

-Kirk/McCoy: 11

Kirk/NS or NMc:75

2009

-Spock/Kirk: 1393

-Total Kirk: 2139

-Total Spock:2400

-Kirk/NS: 746

-Spock/NK-1007

-Spock/McCoy: 97

-Kirk/McCoy: 497 (O.o)

-Kirk/NS and Nmc:249

-41 of these are with Chekov

-2 are with Sulu

-6 are with Pike

-8 are with Scotty

-22 are with the Original Spock

-1 is with Nero (O.O')

There are 189 out of 2139 stories (9%) of Kirk not being with a man (and even then, it's iffy).

-Spock/NK and Nmc:1114

-1 is with Scotty

-8 are with Chekov

-2 are with Pike

-1 with his older self (is that incest or mastrabation?)

Final #:1102

Now for a little more math

-Total # of all Kirk Romance fics(TOS and 2009): 2647

-Total # of all Spock Romance fics(TOS and 2009): 3264

-81% of all Kirk romance fanfics on is with another man (2144 out of 2647 of them)

-57% of all Spock romance fics are man/man (1860/3264)...(blame Uhura. Of the 1410 remaining Spock romance fics, 852 of them are Spock/Uhura)

Total # of Kirk/Spock? 1812

Now for shits and giggles

-Total Spock/McCoy: 234

-Total Kirk/McCoy: 508

-Total McCoy/Scotty (a personal favorite): 23 (T_T)

-Total Chekov/Sulu:167

Interested in me doing a Slash Census like this for a favorite series of yours? Just ask in the reviews. I'm familiar with many series' that have slash potential (or just plan slash. Thank the gods for Torchwood) and if I'm not, then I will try to become more familiar. For suggestions, I am interested in all Star Trek's save Voyager, House, Yu Yu Hakusho (among many other animes), Tin Man, Team Fortress 2, to name a few, and many other things that I haven't considered slashing, but would love to try.

(If you came to this because of my other fics, my apologize. School is rough and this is all I can manage right now)
