To Boldly Abbreviate

[fiorenza_a]

There's not much Star Trek on LiveJournal, but there is st_ficfinder; if you are familiar with prosfinder, it works pretty much the same way.

Recently, someone posted that they were looking for an ST:ID fic, and it took me a minute to realise they were looking for something related to Star Trek: Into Darkness - one of the recent(ish) reboot movies.

And that got me thinking, so here is what wiki makes of the alphabet soup that was once simply known as Trek:
