Could you do Chakotay from Star Trek Voyager
Does Chakotay from Star Trek Voyager eat pussy?
Yes
No
So according to Memory Alpha, Lore was originally going to be a woman...
Okay but these notes by @vulpes-aestatis are just too good to be left hidden.
On top of that, it is canon that Juliana Tainer wanted to make one of the androids feminine but Noonien Soong ignored her and made the androids in his image anyway. The idea of not just being forced into a male image but also failing to live up to the expectaction of the man who made you in his own image is so damn gooood!
Holy crap, I want this now.
genuinely though i love that the critique that gets lobbed at tng sometimes is that it's boring because the characters sit and think and talk and many of the episodes resolve with very few explosions, and yes! that's the point!!!
like the whole ethos of tng was "space (and everyone in it) is not a threat once you understand it" and sometimes you have to get quiet about it for a minute or have a productive group discussion or do some pontificating to reach that moment of understanding and communication, but at the end we warp away having made a friend or gained a greater understanding of the complexity of the universe and maybe it was a little bit silly or a character learned how to be a better version of themself along the way and that's why i love it!!
Well said.
One of my absolute favorite things about TNG (and DS9, VOY, & TOS) is the consistent subversion of expectation by doing the less exciting right thing. It was less exciting when Picard chose not to use Hugh the Borg as a weapon. It was less exciting when he chose to not engage with the Cardassian warships pretending to be research vessels. There are quite literally several hundred examples of this because it was a fundamental story telling structure the writers used. Make the viewers think with the characters, not be told what to think. This is one of the core aspects that made Star Trek different from other sci-fi shows. It held an idea up to the light and said “let’s disassemble this and put it back together.” A narrative diagnostic and repair process. One of my favorite Gene Roddenberry quotes said something like (paraphrasing) “right vs. wrong is boring. Two right choices, or two wrong choices, is interesting.”
Goodness I love Star Trek.

THE VERY FIRST STAR TREK SLASH FIC PUBLISHED
“A Fragment out of Time”, published in 1974. Kirk / Spock. page 1 page 2
I had to share it with you because I can’t stop laughing, and every time I reread it it just gets funnier and fUNNIER
This fan fiction is older than the push-through tabs on soda cans.
Your grandma wrote this on her Commodore 64.
I miss my Commodore 64
Oh my dear, sweet children. The Commodore 64 came out in 1982. This was produced on a typewriter and probably mimeographed. And while it may seem funny now, it took more courage to write and distribute this than you will ever know.
Reblogged for that last comment.
Okay, so I’m reposting with an last interview Diane did a few months before her death:
It couldn’t be done, said the others. I don’t know…. But one could give it the ol’ college try. Thinking the outcome would be staying between the three of us [the editors of Grup and herself], I decided to accept the challenge. Thus, “A Fragment Out Of Time.” Which lo and behold the girls thought was for publication…. Once the tooth-paste is out of the tube just try returning it. The girls had printed the little vignette before asking if I wished to use a nom-de-plume. Then the letters started arriving…. Whee…. Phew!!! Amongst which were two I’ll never forget. Two ladies (Gerry Downes & Leslie Fish) actually “asking” my permission to use the hypothesis. Gosh, I was tickled. Even if, as far as I could see, it wasn’t mine to give. The subject was a universal constant (not mine). It was there in the aired episodes. I just gave it a public voice of fandom. Really, I had nothing to do with the initial concept, as it was there unfolding on our screens as we watched our beloved Star Trek. Me, well—I just accepted a challenge and attempted to subtly present the idea deftly (with slight humorous overtones) as a scenario which most could find acceptable at that time.
And legible copies of the story (illegible word on first page is ‘precedent’ and on second is ‘blond’)
This is literally where the term ‘slash fic’ came from. This, right here. A story that was never meant to be published that sprung up from a conversation between friends. (Though she was undoubtedly not the first to write a story, she was, however involuntarily, the first to publish one).
This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.
They seem to have accepted Commander Spock as one of their own.
This rapid slide from attempted machismo to sweet tender feelings is what happened to the show, too.
JESS BUSH for Estetica Magazine by Chris Mohen
Hello, nurse!
Ever had a dream with the characters of the shows you've written?
Generally, when I have work dreams (that's what they are for me) they're more behind the scenes and I dream about the set and the actors, etc. Most memorably, I once dreamed I was watching dailies of a musical episode of DS9 I wrote. Specifically, Terry was singing "When you're a Trill, you're a trill all the way, from the moment you're joined, to your last dying day." (A filk of "The Jet Song" from Westside Story). And I was horrified as I realized what a terrible idea the episode was.* Even though I dreamed all the tech to explain why everyone was singing and dancing.
Welcome to my head. It's a strange place. Please keep your arms inside the ride.
*No shade to Terry. I bet she would've killed that scene.
Yes, a musical WOULD be a terrible idea for an episode of Star Trek!
