The Starsky and Hutch Fan Community

From Ghoulies and Ghosties and long legged beasties and things that go bump in the night, may the good Lord deliver us goes the old saying. Starsky and Hutch had Satan worshippers in more than one episode, a real vampire and other creepy villains. Halloween is a walk in the park for them.

SHarecon is the premier Starsky and Hutch con, held (mostly) every other year in Maryland. If you’ve been to a big, multi fandom con, or one of the mega cons like Comicon, those are fun, to be sure, but there is a special kind of awesomeness knowing that every person at SHarecon comes because of Starsky and Hutch. There is nothing else for three days. No need to explain the word slash or zine. There are panels, zines, art, t-shirts and, best of all, fans. New friends. Doesn’t matter what your politics are. Where you live. What your job is. We all live in Bay City and know two cops.

Meeting other fans, either in person or online, is the highlight of being in a fandom. Finding someone who wants to collaborate--either writing together or just helping each other with editing and encouragement, is a boon! There are numerous examples of helping each other out in Starsky and Hutch fandom, just as S&H help each other out.

It's 2014 and Hutch is trying to figure out what's fueling Starsky's latest funk. Starsky is spending too much time on social media and is confused by modern terminology regarding sexual identity and sexual relationships. He grows despondent, fearing he's finally become too old to adjust to this brave new sexual revolution. Determined to get to the bottom of his partner's distress, Hutch is forced to consult with the SHareCon con committee to get answers.

Like the song says, "Cruel to be kind, in the right measure..." Sometimes our guys like it sweet and gentle, and sometimes rough is the way to smooth out the adrenaline after a fire fight. Which are your favorite stories of Starsky and Hutch acting out their fantasies? A little bondage or a bouquet of roses--with the thorns still on?

Are there stories that get your pulses racing?

Yes, I've done this theme before but I worked three days in a row and I'm tired, and it's my favorite. Starsky wakes up in the middle of the night, terrified, as a masked man injects him with an unknown substance. No, it's not a crazy vaccination story! Of course he calls Hutch instead of an ambulance, because Hutch will make it all better. And Hutch does. This is the most romantic ep in the series, in my book.

Starsky and Hutch had a fairly diverse cast for the mid seventies, with literally half the main cast non-white. (true story--my friend used to get Jet magazine which featured a small TV Guide type section on last page listing only Black characters in series. So Starsky and Hutch starred Bernie Hamilton and Antonio Fargus.) There were also a smattering of other ethnicities--including Dr.Quo in Starsky's Lady and Paco Ortega in Velvet Jungle. What about Kiko and his mom? Or Minnie and Dryden on the police force?

Two Objectively Successful Dates (multi) by Garrideb
Set immediately before and after the tag to The Velvet Jungle. Starsky and Laura have their fancy dinner date and then drop in on Hutch and Paco. But Hutch seems angry at the interruption; is it possible that he and Paco are on a date, too? Laura thinks so, and shares her theory with Starsky. But it'll take more than just a theory to convince Starsky that Hutch dates men, so he heads back to Hutch's later that night.

We see Starsky and Hutch play Monopoly and chess. They love pool, darts, and breaking up illegal poker games. What about a little strip poker or some Parcheesi?

There must be more stories with game playing (and not The Game) but the search engine was notoriously unhelpful there.
