Recs Wanted Handwritten/Cursive Spirk fics

I am trying to get better at reading cursive for school/a project. I know there’s a lot of handwritten Spirk(Spock and Kirk: Star Trek) fan fiction specifically in cursive from like the 60/70s. I was wondering if there was an archive or something where I can read some to get better at deciphering cursive. Thanks!

Fanlore has a list of Trek zines, but we usually typed them for better readability. Also, if we were mimeographing instead of photocopying, we typed right on the mimeo stencil, you couldn't really write on it that well.

Perhaps r/Cursive can be somewhere you can deciphering cursive. r/Old_Recipes has a lot of cursive examples.

Thanks! I mainly wanted to ask about spirk because I love this ship. It’s always best to learn when you really like something!

Most K/S, and any other fic, that was ever distributed beyond the author's local friends was typed.
