My Deep Space 9 self-insert fantasy is working for Garak in his tailor shop, however, I also know for a fact that he would be a terrible boss. He would be liable to snap and yell at me over tiny mistakes just because he's having a bad day. He'd drop everything and leave me to man the counter myself, no matter how many customers were waiting, the second Bashir showed up and asked him to lunch. He'd get drunk and oversleep the next morning and be late to open the place, but expect me to just stand there waiting indefinitely on the promenade and be ready to start working whenever he feels like showing up (obviously I can't unlock the door myself, he would never give me his constantly changing series of complex security codes). And then I'd probably die because he forgot about me when he blew it up.

you guys do realise walking doesn't actually move you anywhere right? it just destroys you entirely and places a perfect copy of you right in front of where you were standing

I wonder if there's not as many first person pov novels in English, because I've seen many people dislike that pov in fanfics. In Korea, many novels are in first person, especially the older — like in 20C — ones. I grew up reading first person novels in school textbook.

[sapphosewrites]

I can't say if it's more or less frequent than in Korea, but definitely first person pov is very common in English language novels! I think the aversion is specifically a fanfiction thing.

[garakcore]

Yeah, I can't explain it, but writing fanfiction in the first person feels "wrong" to me, and I've learned this is a pretty common opinion.

My theory for this, using Star Trek as an example since it's the original fandom: We're watching TV shows, and sometimes a character gives us a voice-over of their thoughts about what's happening in the episode (example: Starfleet officers' logs). But we never have the kind of deep, "in their head" view that we get of a character in a novel told in the first person, narrating their actions and thoughts as they happen.

So it could be that we are conditioned to understand these characters from an "outside" perspective. Sometimes I feel like it would have the highest potential to seem out of character to write in first person. (Supporting evidence: I have been in fandoms with lots of first person writing, but only when the source material was a novel (or novels) in first person limited perspective.)

Scenes from my Star Trek homage comic series "Project Janus" that may or may not exist one day if I discover the energy to do so or magically find a partner to work with on it... Usha is about ready to fucking destroy that man since his career is already in the pits of hell and we love her for that.

Fic that reveals Nog is ripped as shit contains the phrase “why do your abs have abs?”

anyway time for obscure star track posting

Anyone else think the reason ds9 deeply resonates with Queer people is because, at its Heart, its about a third space created but a group of patriotic people fundamentally alienated from their own people. Like obviously garak and quark but consider how were told in the first episode that Kira has been sent there to get her "out of the way" of the civilian government, how the things shes needed to do to both survive and secure their freedom seem deeply uncomfortable to all the civilian leaders. Dax considering both Joran and her eagerness towards reassociation make her basically a non entity on Trill. Bashir takes a while but the augment reveal puts him firmly in this Category. Obriens difficulty with his ptsd and moving passed personal préjudices puts him at odds with a lot of federation ideals. Siskos deep trauma around the loss of his wife and inability to move pass this, makes him very inconvenient to a federation desperate to pass itself off as a Utopia. He then becomes more and more unacceptable as he leans further into his role as in emissary, with the federation seemingly very uncomfortable with this religious expression. Jesus, Worf begins his tenure by getting himself exiled from klingon space.

Like idk, I dont think its all that shocking a Bunch of Queer people most liked the show about having a complicated relationship with your culture and never being allowed to go home.
