Progress report

Today I realized that while I have been happily playing with other fandoms, my Uhura fest fic is due in five days, and I have not worked on it in, like, a month. In case you forgot since my last riveting update about it, it is a Spock/Uhura fic for the prompt "Uhura turns Spock down when he asks her out, so he has to use logic to change her mind

Hee, well, you know how I love McCoy and Uhura interacting, so I'm all for that, and may I just say, I kind of like that you aren't using Gaila for that conversation--now, I love Gaila obviously, but I feel that in this case, Uhura would be more willing to consider McCoy's advice, for the reasons you listed.

I like the reasoning for Spock and Uhura meeting regularly, and yeah, I agree that there's a way for Spock to continue to pursue Uhura without seeming like a stalker. I think the key is that they both need to have acknowledged the attraction between them, and I like that Uhura's reasons for not dating Spock have nothing to do with him specifically.

Hm. This is a good point. The more I thought about it, the more the prompt kind of skeeved me out, because it's basically about a man refusing to take no for an answer. But that's okay because (a) Spock is going to be very subtle in his argumentation (b) most importantly, Uhura would actually really like to date Spock, so they're on the same page about the relationship being good for both of them - Uhura just needs to realize that dating someone does not inherently weaken you.

Yeah, it's the kind of prompt that can go wrong very easily but I have faith that you'll be able to pull it off. And yeah, Uhura actually wanting to date Spock is absolutely crucial here.

I'm really excited to read this!
