We Salute You & Call for Donations
Dear Legion, We Salute You, the collaborative Jayne Brook fanbook is finally done and waiting to be handed over to her tomorrow at Destination Birmingham! Once the book has been given to Jayne tomorrow, we will also post the .pdf for all of you to enjoy! The book is 7.75x9.75 inches (20x25 cm) and 68 pages, hard cover. I think the quality looks great, we hope you will all like the layout as well - and we hope Jayne will be delighted to receive it! Thank you all, for all your contributions, to the book and beyond. Thank you to those who signal boosted this (and kept signal boosting at all turns), and thanks to those of you as well who did not contribute but keep the fan community alive with your art and theorizing. We are so happy to be on this journey with all of you.
An important bit of information, or rather a small favor is the following: the book ended up costing quite a bit in the end, as the following screenshot shows, which we have paid out of pocket for now. However, we would be very thankful if some of you could contribute to the book a little bit and lighten our financial burdens in that aspect. Wink-wink nudge-nudge, I guess? If you feel like donating, you can do it at this address, and we are forever grateful.
Best, your mods Pixie (@pixiedane) and Réka (@caressyouintodarkness)

Romance Headcanons
name: Katrina Cornwell, Vice-Admiral
nickname: Kat
gender: female
romantic orientation: straight / too busy to explore much else
preferred pet names: Love
relationship status: divorced, currently single
favorite canon ship: prime!Lorca/prime!Cornwell, previously (and perhaps in the future again) Cornwell/McCoy
favorite non-canon ship: Paris/Georgiou - she wants her friends to be happy
opinion on true love: She believes in the idea, but not the reality of it always working out.
opinion on love at first sight: Yes, with conditions. Looking back she fell for her ex-husband very quickly. She knew pretty much from the minute she saw him that she wanted him, but didn’t realize that it would turn out to be for more than just one night.
how ‘romantic’ are they?: On a scale of 1 - 10, she’s about a 5. She appreciates the sentiment when it’s given by others, but she rarely goes out of her way to be romantic in a traditional sense. She’s fine without flowers or chocolates, she’d rather have that love and appreciation spread out over the years in a million little, ordinary ways.
ideal physical traits: She likes a good head of hair, something she can run her fingers through, and strong arms to hold her tight.
ideal personality traits: intelligence, she likes observant people - ones that will challenge her, someone she can let her guard down around. And, being a very sexual person herself, she needs someone who is not self-conscious or inhibited.
unattractive physical traits: She is rarely judgmental about her appearance, but dislikes how she looks after she’s been crying or not had enough sleep.
unattractive personality traits: she can be harsh, at times brutally honest.
ideal date: glass of good wine or whiskey and staring at the stars. Either outside in the grass, or from under the covers.
do they have a type?: She needs someone that will challenge her. So, other men in power, those with a clearly defined goal for their careers and lives, and who are able to be independent while still in a relationship. She’s so attached to her own career she can’t be left feeling responsible for someone else’s personal satisfaction as well.
average relationship length: she’s maintained a casual, on-again, off-again friends-with-benefits thing with Gabriel for the better part of thirty years. Her marriage, however, was very short, just over a year.
preferred non-sexual intimacy: Occupying the same space, silently. Reading, or listening to music. She also enjoys art exhibits when there’s time.
commitment level: This is tough. She tricks herself, she wants to want a serious commitment and stability, she likes the idea of it. But the only real serious commitment she’s made in her life was to Starfleet. She was in love with Leonard, wanted it to work, but when he became uncomfortable with her career and suspicious of her other relationships, that was the end of that.
opinion of public affection: With Gabriel, never. Their relationship was hush-hush from day one. With Leonard it was different, he wasn’t in Starfleet. It was the only time she’d ever been able to be openly affectionate and she enjoyed that very much.
past relationships?: one serious boyfriend, one failed marriage and one long-term friends-with-benefits thing.

You may be my favorite admiral ever. Just sayin.
And you may be my favorite anon ever. Just sayin. ;-)
I just want to thank you, Admiral, for showing that women can be emotional and still be strong leaders.
I was in session with one of myprofessors a long time ago and he told me, “Give yourself permission to feel the way thatyou do. Always.” It is advice I have kept and cherished.
Our emotions do not limit us, regardlessof our gender, though women are historically saddled – unfortunately the connotation is usually negative –as the emotional ones. This is true hormonallyas well as socially, springing from the procreative need to betterunderstand and care for our young. This trait is a gift, I believe, and not a curse.
Emotions allow us to empathize andpersonalize situations, to absorb the world around us in a spectrum of colors,not just the black and white of wrong versus right. In times of crisis they act as our moralcompass, a very loud angel or devil on our shoulders. There is a balance to be sought, of course,between strong emotions such as hatred or fear, (conversely even euphoric excitementcan be dangerous) and the ultimate decisions of a leader. Such base instincts should be weighed onlyafter significant introspection – a technique I am still working to master withthe help of my colleague, Sarek.
Though my Vulcan friends might disagree,and certainly I don’t discount whatworks for them, I have always found that when I nurture my own emotionalwell-being, and consult my gut feelings, they often do not lead me astray. I believe the same is true for most everyone; when they give themselves permission to listen to that most private voice, success is usually right around the corner. At the very least, it’s easier to look at yourself in the mirror the next day.
I hope that you, too,might strike a balance and take comfort in knowing that your own feelingsare always valid. And that you have thestrength and intelligence to use them as the tools that they are.

Kat is my favorite person ever!!
I'm so glad you're safe and the war is over. *offers a drink* To peace... and everything it cost.
Now that, I will drink to. *raises a glass* To peace, and our ability to keep it.
Why do you like Joni Mitchell?!
I love her voice, it calms me. Her lyrics speak to my soul. I listen to her often when I’m feeling the need for reflection. I think my mother used to listen to her when I was young, and the melodies have stuck. And now, with Gabriel being gone and the war being over, this, my favorite song, has a new meaning.
