Searching for Soshern: The Forbidden Star Trek Fanfiction
About this episode
The episode explores the quest to recover a legendary Star Trek fanfiction written by a woman in 1968.
In 1968, a woman wrote a romantic story about Kirk and Spock, passed it quietly among friends, and hoped it would never see the light of day. Before vanishing entirely, The Ring of Soshern had become the stuff of legend. The quest to recover it would lead back to a community of women who'd been building something remarkable in the shadows for generations.
