Worf being befuddled by why Odo isn't arresting Quark for being a criminal. Sir he can't watch Quark like a bug in its natural habitat if you put him in jail jail is to spice up the banter ONLY
I'll love to read some star trek's original slash zines like it must be amazing to see who K/S have evolved over time, who it was perceived at the beginning...
This is my favorite kind of post >:) Since I was tagged, I'm going to drop some links for you! First, many thanks to @fanlore-wiki and OTW for all they do. None of this would be accessible if not for them <3
Here's a list of Ao3 links to individual authors who wrote fics in the 70s, 80s, and 90s! Names with a * are the most "iconic," aka who's works were most influential to the fandom.
April Valentine (80s)
Beverly Volker & Nancy Kippax (70s-80s)
Eileen R (70s-80s)
*Natasha Solten (80s)
Katharine Scarritt (80s)
Mary Lowe (80s)
CatalenaMara (80s)
Suzan Lovett (80s)
*Gayle Freyrer (70s-80s)
*Jenna Sinclair (80s-90s)
*Connie Faddis (70s-80s)
*Charlotte Frost (80s-90s)
Disclaimer: Most of these fics will not utilize Ao3's tagging system since they were imported from an archive, therefor you may encounter some dark themes such as noncon, major character death, etc. Formatting may also be slightly off.
More below the cut, including links to whole fanzines!

Available on The Internet Archive:
All of Spockanalia (late 60s, one of the first)
Contact #1 (1975)
Contact #3 (1977)
Alpha Continuum (four issues, 1976-80)
As I Do Thee (two issues, late 80s)
ScoTpress's archived site has hundreds (tip: you need to press the cover of each zine to access the PDFs. They look like images, but they're links!)
There are more if you search "star trek fanzine," but the search results aren't always perfect and are constantly changing :)
Next, here are some fanlore pages I recommend if you're interested in behind-the-scenes context or just browsing a selection of awesome art. These are well known zines with many publications and dozens of contributors:
Vault of Tomorrow (gen. '81-'88)
As I do Thee 1-10 (slash, '84-'88)
As I Do Thee 11-21 (slash, '88-'94)
Naked Times 1-10 (slash, '78-'86)
Naked Times 11-20 (slash, '86-'88)
Naked Times 21-32 (slash, '88-'94)
Here is a comprehensive list of every known Star Trek slash zine, and fanlore's index of gen zines. I like the Strekzine Roster (much less overwhelming, strictly early zines) as well as fanlore's list of zines published between 1967-1970.
Lastly, here's a link to my INACTIVE tumblr blog's archive of digitally restored pages. I'm continuing that work here on my new blog :)
Have fun! My DMs are open if you have any questions!
Remember when ezri was like hey remember how your dad used to lock you in a closet when he wasnt manipulating you into a tool to do his bidding. Thats kind of like when i get space sick. And then garak had a seizure about it
my partner, last night, desperately trying to cheer me up: why don’t you watch some ds9? garak? don’t you want to look at garak? you can have garak on the tv. come on, go watch garak for a while and you’ll feel better.
#yeah yeah yeah#nomad was v’ger#v’ger created the borg#beta canon should’t be used to paper over plot holes#must my two cents#feel free to disagree
I'm not very familiar with Voyager yet but I do like fan theories so that's intriguing! But I was referring to how apparently the original idea was that Tosk were kind of prototypes for Jem'Hadar, as noted in the script of "The Jem'Hadar":
I think it's a really cool idea, too bad they decided not to mention it for whatever reason. I would like to have seen Tosk again!
also since we're sharing. ever since i bought the kanar bottle and saw how they look like irl the "improper use of a kanar bottle" tag made more sense to me. they really start out quite thin. i feel like it's not even that insane, considering
#my favorite shore leave theory is that the shore leave factories didn't generate anything for spock not only bc he's sufficiently repressed#but because torn shirt kirk is. right next to him already. honestly shirtless kirk beating up his own old bully while spock watches#is. i think this is spock's kink actually. up there with the 'yes...yes...good...good' voyeuristic reaction to kirk inventing a bazooka#spock watching kirk be righteous and brilliant with as little clothes as possible and spock himself getting to be Correct about everything#is a GREAT day for spock already. who needs wish fulfillment#kirk isn't even interested in the chorus girl sexbots only the simulacrum of his steady gf. & real ruth is out of the picture and no threat#also they got to grab each other multiple times it was basically obscene. AND all this started when kirk only wanted a massage from him.#so 'shore leave' in its entirety is pretty much 10/10 no notes ideal day as far as spock's psyche is concerned w/ no need for extra steps @anghraine tags
Comedic AU where Garak really was just hitting on the cute new human doctor, but oopsies, Doc Cutie Pie thinks he's a spy for some reason so he runs with it, and not wanting to disappoint his crush, he never stops...
Two years later, he's trying to fake his own death but goes so hard he accidentally poisons his bloodstream, but Doc Cutie won't let him die and he's somehow convinced the culprit is Garak's Cardassian-style chronic pain pump, but Garak also definitely implied it was a nefarious device the Order gave him to keep him from giving up secrets under torture. The only way to save himself without outing his lie is to hand the antidote to a well-known sitcom actor (Cardassia's favorite dad) who happens to have a retirement home in Arawath and is willing to play his amiably evil spymaster mentor for a fee.
Do you think the Benjamin Sisko Museum has a section about bombarding a planet of civilians during the Federation vs Maquis conflict, or is that like one of those historical events that you're not supposed to bring up?
Anyway the funniest thing that they established in the Wire about the Quodo relationship is that not only has Odo bugged Quark's bar?? but he also has a full 4k resolution video feed going directly from Quark's to Security.
Like, does he watch it every evening to wind down? Hrmpf'ing whenever Quark flirts with someone? Also apparently Odo reads all of Quark's communications, for "security" reasons. And since he wouldn't trust anyone else to monitor Quark, he is the only one consuming "Keeping up with the ferengi". Like that changeling is soooo obsessed with him and I don't fault Quark for knocking on every object of furniture that could potentially be Odo, I too would have become paranoid after half a decade of that.
okay so my whole thing with garak having a shorter snout than other cardassians in my little cardassian reptilian anatomy headcanon
i have an explanation
if any of you remember this, when garak was talking about his father, he mentions his father locked him in a closet as punishment
Now if any of you know about illegal pet trade, alligators are part of it, these alligators are often kept in poor conditions, usually that being enclosures too small for them. These alligators will grow to fit these enclosures leading to stunted snout and overall growth, the snouts also ten to curve upwards, see examples below with the one the only Rex! (the snake discovery fans know what's up)
creds: 1, 2, 3
so yeah, garak has a shorter snout because of that
and i think i may love applying science to these fictional characters a bit too much because wow almost all of my posts have some form of reptile fact tied into them
