Well considering I've seen slash works for
Sherlock Holmes and Watson and "The Picture
of Dorian Gray" I'm sure it's been around for
ages but popularity was truly gained via the
Star Trek fandom if I recall...can't think of
any form of it mainstream before that.

My theory on housework is, if the item
doesn't multiply, smell, catch on fire or
block the refrigerator door, let it be. No
one cares. Why should you?
