Ad Astra Star Trek Fanfiction Archive
Ad Astra now has a Patreon to help us cover server costs (we upgraded the server to the next tier and so we're not sitting at 100% swap usage constantly), so if you're into Trekfic or even just wanna come over to hang out with other Trekkies, this is definitely the place.

Ad Astra News - 6/11 - 6/17
State of the Archive
Our archive’s header has been updated thanks to enabling by @solarisone. >.> I don’t know anything about that.
In more serious news, we’ve had an incredibly busy week! As you can see below, we’ve had a lot of new people join us, bringing over stories to archive. We’ve had some new faces on our chat server starting with a D, too! I’ve added some community resources under the Community Toolbox FAQ. If you’re planning on joining us, please read the tagging/posting FAQs/Rules, as we are very much not AO3 about that.
All in all, the archive is running well. I’ve got kudos up and working correctly, finally, and while we still have some minor annoyances (the times/dates populating incorrectly on dashboards or browsing pages), everything’s running stable right now and should continue to indefinitely.
There is still a Review Hunt going on until the end of the month: A chance to win art or cash! Right now, Gibraltar and DavidFalkayn are the only participants, come give them a run for the money!
Weekly Challenge #9 - Juneteenth
Our writing challenge this week is in honor of Juneteenth and is therefore the celebration of Black Star Trek characters. So, write a piece between 100 and 700 words in honor of the holiday and the amazing Black characters we’ve gotten from Trek over the decades and add it to our archive collection!
Author Interview with @daraoakwise
Come and get to know our first victim interviewee, @daraoakwise, who currently writes in the AOS universe and has lots of interesting insight to share!
IvanW ||A Clue || Mature ||Star Trek|| https://archiveofourown.org/works/37192744 Okay so yes I'm reccing this because I prompted it but that doesn't negate the fact that this is perfect! I love love looooooooooooooooove jealous Spock, and this one has it very well done. I guess even Vulcans can eventually be thwacked with the clue stick. 🥰 Tags and whatnot included after the title pic! #spirk #spacehusbands #kirkxspock #thyla #startrekfanfiction #fanfictionrecs #kxs, #trekfic, #spirkfanfiction #StarTrekReboot #JamesTKirk #Spock #SchnTgaiSpock #spirkedit #spirkfanfic #startrek #ao3 #vulcans https://www.instagram.com/p/CboLiQNNMbf/?utm_medium=tumblr
When a piece of Federation technology is stolen, the crew of the Enterprise is left with only two choices - violate the Prime Directive or win it back.
This is an action/adventure buddy fic featuring the crew of the Enterprise. Under the command of Geordi La Forge, a small team must repair a decommissioned starship and survive a dangerous race across the Alpha Quadrant. Geordi races across the galaxy with Data, Tasha, Worf, Miles, and Wesley.
Meanwhile, Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Deanna, Doctor Crusher, and Keiko O'Brien uncover a plot to sabatoge the race on the ground.
Set in the same universe as "The Complication" but can be read as a standalone.
Mostly Geordi/Data shenanigans and Tasha/Worf friendship. http://www.archiveofourown.org/works/30504624/chapters/75228381
Liquid Courage [Spirk]
Kirk is not drunk during a diplomatic mission, and he is not upset that someone’s hitting on Spock. He’s just mildly tipsy and affronted that the person doing the flirting isn’t him.
Written for @thissimplefanzine!
somewhere a long way from where we started [a carol/uhura femslash feb fic]
They both need the distraction.
A distraction from space , from the first thing they ever fell in love with and the first thing that did them wrong.
Carol proposed it before.
Casually mentioning, a car she has left in San Francisco, that if Uhura ever needs a break she’s there, the offer is on the table. At the time she mentions it, Uhura doesn’t take her up on the offer. The Enterprise is being rebuilt and there’s just too much to do.
Then Uhura’s gone and Carol’s working on Genesis and it’s just forgotten.
for femslash feb and my femtrope bingo card square “road trip”
So Ad Astra’s otw-archive is now up and running, and opening for public beta! This was absolutely a labor of love and community; I owe Walter from SquidgeWorld and lassarina from Asp’s bar for the invaluable help in getting this massive thing sorted.
Before you join, here are a few things I really need and want you to know:
1.) We’re a Trek fandom archive, so we’re not really for any other fandoms unless they’re crossovers.
2.) We’re not AO3 when it comes to tagging fics. We’ve had strict tag discipline for fourteen years for a reason. So before you post, please -- please I’m begging -- read the FAQ about posting and tagging. Even if you skip the others (which, you shouldn’t, there’s some nifty stuff in them!), please read and respect that one.
3.) If you join, please don’t go too fast on moving all your Trek fanworks over? Only because I’m one single person wrangling this thing and because I really intend to visit each fic that lands on the archive to give it attention. I might fail in that goal, but I’d love to achieve it. Which brings me to the last point:
3.) Ad Astra’s shining quality has always been how interactive, collaborative and supportive we are as a community. So, consider joining in on that! Post your works and support others in theirs via comments and kudos. Shamelessly self-promote on your blogs or our forums, but consider also promoting others. Think about joining our forums and D/iscor/d, too, because we would love to have you. (Yes, you! You, that Trekkie over there side-eying me.) We do weekly writing challenges, and I’m planning on running a Review Hunt, too! This community shines its brightest when we’re lifting each other up.
4,) There are still bugs I’m working out. If you find one, tell me and I’ll see what’s going on! But it really is pretty functional in the meantime. XD
Anyway, with all that said:
Ad Astra :: Star Trek Fanfiction Archive
Come on over. <3 And yes, please signal boost this post!
Archive ◊ Discord ◊ Forums ◊ Tumblr ◊ Dreamwidth ◊ Twitter ◊ Pillowfort Ad Astra News - 7/23 - 7/29 State of the Archive Generally, still moving. We're still getting to the bottom of the issue that has a background process shutting down unexpectedly, but that's relatively minor and more annoyance than anything else. Especially for an archive our size. Things have been going great on Discord, with interesting discussions about future sociology, whether we do or don't like musicals and it's been great seeing new people come in, too! We're very welcoming, so stop on by!
July Review Hunt Winners and August Review Hunt! Our winner for the July Review Hunt was BeatriceOtter, who scored over 20,000 points, an absolutely astronomical effort! Following right up, though, was hoodwinked with over 17,000. Both of them did a stellar job. Now, with August's Review Hunt underway, let's see how we do! Right now, things are slow to start, so if you want to join in, drop me a line just about anywhere and I'll add you to the list!
Weekly Challenge #15: What's Left Behind What do we leave behind? Either as we move to another stage in life, or as we leave it all for whatever comes after. A feeling or an object or a letter. Or anything. Write a story between 100 and 700 words -- I mean it this time, Gibraltar! XD -- talking about just that. Interpret it as strictly or as loosely as you like. Add it to the Weekly Challenges collection on the archive and tag it Weekly Challenge: What's Left Behind.
Challenge closes on 8/11 at 11:59PM Eastern!
