Pinned Post

What this blog offers: fanfic, answered asks, and plenty of Star Trek stuff from various series and films. Plus! Lots of love for Una Chin-Riley and Kathryn Janeway, among many others, as well as rare echoes of my Kirsten Clancy phase that led me to blog about her for Women at Warp.

What this blog will not have: antisemitism, anti-Christianity, Islamophobia, anti-Hindu, or content that diminishes or mocks any other peace-seeking religion — including atheists, Wiccans, and pagans. There also will be no queerphobia or transphobia, ableism, racism, sexism, ageism, or any other form of cruelty or discrimination including toward straight people or men. We all share the same planet so we’d better learn to be kind to each other. IDIC.

What I like: asks, thoughtful commentary, fanworks, funny stuff, the occasional shitpost.

WGF RetroReads Presents: STAR TREK 60th — The Writers Guild Foundation

Please join us as we celebrate our 60th anniversary with a live reading of Star Trek’s classic episode “The Man Trap” on August 30 at the L

Trekkie Fans of "The Pitt" should get a real kick out of this...

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

Fanfic writers, reblog if you’re okay with people sharing the links to your fics to their friends and/or for fic rec posts without having to ask for your permission first

(I saw a debate about whether or not it was okay for people to share fic links around without asking the authors first, since some authors may not be comfortable with the links to their fics being shared around on twitter or tumblr. so I thought this post could be a blanket permission for authors who were okay with the links to their fics being shared around!)

[curator-on-ao3]

Are you kidding me? (Rhetorical.)

For goodness sake, rec the fics. Rec them on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Bluesky, Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, or the reanimated corpse of MySpace. Rec them on Pinterest. Rec them by semaphore, smoke signal, or Morse code. Rec them via a page ripped out of a college-ruled notebook and folded into a tiny triangle and flicked across a classroom while the teacher is looking in the other direction. Heck, rec them on Slack, Teams, email, text, postal mail, or a message scratched with a long stick into snow, sand, or dirt. Just rec the fics.

today’s the only day you can reblog this

“There Will Come Soft Rains”, Ray Bradbury

[curator-on-ao3]

I had to read this story in fourth grade.

Still messes me up to this day.

[curator-on-ao3]

I stood in the library, shelves of books all around, and I wept.

Every book, written by a person or people.

Good.

Bad.

Original.

Shamefully plagiarized.

There was effort there, within hardcovers and softcovers, an essential humanity. Someone, somewhere put in the work.

Generative AI means we can no longer trust the work.

So I stood in the library, shelves of books all around, and I wept.

[solmarillion]

i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.

Only one? Damn. Well, I'm going to go a similar direction to prev. The Geronimo series, a fanfic series or Darkwing Duck and the og Ducktales. There's two specific characters in Shake, Rattle and Roll that made me realize I was some flavor of gay. Those two blade welding maniacs are constantly on my mind even like five years later.

@talesoferyngalen

[talesoferyngalen]

Hard agree on it being diabolical to be asked for only one piece of media bc that made me think about my answer so much more than I probably would have otherwise

That said, its gotta be May Bird and the Ever After. Messed with younger-me's head to an insane degree and was probably the inciting incident for the weirdo I've since become

@babischlong-six @redroci @froxictog @fruitso @themisstakenidentity and anyone else who would like to join in

[babischlong-six]

Absolutely diabolical 😭

I'll choose The Three Musketeers, but specifically in Russian

I'll tag: @mitzpe-rimon @the-marron @deadheaddaisy and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it 🫵

[deadheaddaisy]

One? One? My AuDHD brain hates this. 🫠

Rotary Spokes by Fiona Cooper springs to mind. It wasn't just the WLW joy and found family in a magical realism setting, but the final push I needed to realise that religion was not for me. It came just as I'd moved across the country on my own, and 30+ years later that big blonde biker chick and her bunch of oddball still lives rent-free in my mind.

Come and play @more-better-words @curator-on-ao3 @trekbec82 @thetachapel02 @baked-bonemaro and anyone else interested!

[curator-on-ao3]

Thank you for tagging me, @deadheaddaisy! ❤️

I’m certainly joining the chorus saying, “One?? One?!?!”

But … not to be repetitive to my main fandom on here … but Star Trek. In the past, I’ve named three specific episodes that shaped my worldview, but if i have to name just one, it’s “The Cloud Minders.” I was too young when I first saw the episode for it to rewire my brain but it certainly helped wire my brain for wanting to examine various points of view and trying to figure out the source of problems instead of focusing solely on symptoms.

All with no pressure, I’m double tagging @trekbec82 and @more-better-words, and tagging @teitpp, @cornwells-couch, @eidetictelekinetic, @enterprise-come-in, @pc-corner, @regionalpancake, @starrybouquet, @emilie786, @grissomesque, @eidetictelekinetic, @lorcaswhisky, @lilacs-in-space, @bluetrekker12, and anyone else who wants to play.

prompt from @flashfictionfridayofficial

If It's True Number One | Una-Chin Riley/Doug

Sweat drying on her skin, bedsheets tangled, he shifts below her, the mattress sighing as he moves to be able to see her face, and what people say about Vulcan emotions being difficult to read is such a lie. 

“Una,” Doug says, his hand finding her hip, holding on, he holds on just right, “is your physical strength … beyond what would be expected for a human?”

He’s deliberate, cautious, not waiting to ask what must have inadvertently become apparent as she showed him how much she enjoys touching him, being touched by him.

Shame burns her cheeks. 

She should leave.

But love swims in his eyes, tugs at her chest, her belly, the weight of him so good.

Is wanting him, all of him, expecting too much when he can’t possibly have all of her? 

“I should go,” she says, unmoving, eyes closing against the light that streams in through the window. His homeworld is bright with sunlight. Hers is shrouded in fog. A bit too tidy for a metaphor, but that’s how life works sometimes. 

She doesn’t go.

His hand stays on her hip.

“If it's true,” he says, careful, careful, so careful, “that your physical strength is beyond what would be expected for a human … that you, indeed, have other qualities not usually found in humans … certain enhancements … I wouldn’t tell Starfleet. I wouldn’t tell anyone. Ever. If it’s true.”

Love doesn’t swim anymore. It drowns. A man who is an expert on souls has recognized hers, has chosen to live in both sunlight and fog with her, his devotion like a whirlpool and it’s too much, they’re too young, he shouldn’t have to be her secret-keeper, it would be wrong to let him do that for her.

A man so pure.

So trusting.

So kind.

While she lies and hides and runs away.

His question doesn’t need an answer. He knows.

So she keeps her eyes closed and, in the darkness, pulls him closer for another kiss.

Six-sentence fic: T’Les & Lwaxana Troi or T’Les/Lwaxana Troi

The Work is Never Done

My daughter, the mother says, and there’s love and worry and … frustration.

Why must her daughter be so stubborn?

What is this fascination with duty and serving on the Enterprise?

How can the daughter be made to understand there are other things that are important?

I understand, the other mother says, fingers entwining, telepathy unnecessary for comprehension of emotions, hand-holding a comfort all the same.

I understand.

There was a time when I was somewhat famous/infamous for writing a fic called Bad Ensign.

To my absolute delight, Bad Ensign stories have since been written by other Star Trek fic authors across Voyager, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Enterprise, beta canon, various crossovers, and now, thanks to CodenameCarrot (an author I do not know but to whom I am grateful) — Starfleet Academy! 🎉

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Janeway pic from TrekCore, Equinox part II (x)

Quote from Pinterest (x)

[lenetaylor]

Shacting!

This is a great breakdown of some of Bill's acting highlights on TOS. Kitty and I spent a lot of time on the podcast talking about how Bill's 110% commitment came through in his gestures, his facial expressions, and his delivery, all unique to him. As this guy says, you can't help but look at him when he's on screen. Even when he's just listening, he's there, he's active, he's participating in the scene! Nobody was doing it like him.

I saw The Naked Time recently and I was struck by how well-structured that ep is - it builds and builds to Kirk's explosion in the last 10 minutes. The crew is affected from the lower ranks on up and the cast is having a great time with it. You're wondering what's going to happen to Spock - will he freak out (spoiler, he does)? And what about Kirk? He's always the last man standing, literally and figuratively - will be be affected? What will it show us about him? And then when it happens, he explodes in anger (backhanding the comm when Uhura calls), then careens into sadness and regret, then just as fast into his deep love for the ship and his admission that the Enterprise will always be more important than any person (I wrote a story about this).

The scene ends with him slowly regaining control of himself, because he's the goddamn captain, of course - but not before he talks to the ship: "Never lose you," he says, to the ship that he loves like a woman (to quote Futurama). What a thing to have him admit! If it wasn't in the script, you'd think it was fanfic.

In closing, watch the video. Bill's just so good.
