Wait wait if there was a Vader/Han fic that mde Lucasfilms Make Rules... wouldnt THAT be the first slashfic? ALSO I might really need to know what that fic is and if its still around for... reasons.
Fair point! I’ve only ever seen Eva Albertsson’s “The True Force” described as a fic where Vader “sexually and sadistically tortures Han Solo”—so, without having a better description of the story, it seems to fall more under “get ‘em”, which is an old Star Trek way of saying hurt without much comfort. Fanlore categorizes it as gen, which makes me think that the focus is on the abuse Han is suffering versus what Vader is doing to him? It’s nebulous enough to me that “Hoth Admiral” seems the more likely candidate for first slash fic (with, of course, the caveat that there might be earlier stuff that was never published or never surfaced in the digital age), where the focus is on the relationship between two men. But thank you for bringing this up and pointing this out!
“The True Force” appears in The Dark Lord, an English-language Swedish fanzine, in issue ¾. I’ve never seen a digitized copy of this issue or zine in general, but there is definitely a copy in the Wathne collection at the University of Iowa!
