Look what we found in the tank...

Here lives Joelyjo, sometimes known as Jo, other times as Joely, previously as a few other pseudonyms that won’t now be revealed. Long term fangirl and writer of fanfic. Just to fool people, I occasionally put an underscore between the two words (such as on AO3). I’ve been away for a while, created two children, and somehow become old enough to remember stuff from thirty years ago. But now I may be back to fangirling and maybe even back to writing. Watch this space. What’s here? ASOIAF, X-Files, Star Trek, HP, Outlander, Doctor Who and a few other bits and bobs that take my fancy.

Caddyshack, Mulder? It’s a classic American movie. When you invite me over to your place, we can watch Steel Magnolias.

So, because I’m dying to talk about this scene and I don’t know how to take screencaps from a Blu-Ray, here are four pictures I took on my phone of my TV screen while watching the Riker and Troi deleted scene from The Best of Both Worlds.

You guys, THIS SCENE. It’s possibly the most perfect moment that ever happened between these two, and it was deleted.

It’s set during the second half of the two-parter - Will calls Deanna to his ready room to ask how the crew are reacting to the captain’s assimilation.

What’s beautiful about this scene is it illustrates perfectly how their relationship works both personally and professionally, and both actors are really selling it. They’re looking into each other’s eyes almost the whole way through and you can feel how much they care about each other, how worried they both are about each other.

He calls her there ostensibly to talk about the crew’s well-being, but they barely touch on it before she’s moved the conversation around to his feelings, because they both know that’s why he really called her there - because he needs help to do what he’s doing and she’s the person to give it, because of their friendship and because of her professional expertise.

You know what, here’s a transcript:

Fandom is such a weird place. Like I watched a tv show and thought “wow, these two nerds have a lot of chemistry and I’d like to dedicate a large chunk of my life to thinking about them” so I went in search of other people who also thought these two nerds had a lot of chemistry and then it turned out that a shit ton of people were talking about these two nerds having a lot of chemistry and now it’s 4 years later and we write each other porn on holidays.

Friendly reminder that ao3 statistics are not at all related to your value as a writer or a fan.

The number of hits or kudos or comments you get on your fic don't tell you how good your writing is or what you're worth is as a person. Whether you get none or you get a million, you are still important. You are still valuable. You still belong in this fandom. Your ideas are worth sharing.

Don't let numbers fool you into thinking they mean something when they don't. You love your story, and that's the most important thing. You're sharing your love of something with other people who love it too, and that's wonderful. ❤
