Thoughts on Kirk/Spock, fic requests, and picspam!

[my_daroga]

What I want from fic--and you
I think the single-greatest thing about the new Star Trek movie is how it's injected new life into the fandom, and how that's not at all isolated to the actors/characters from the new film. I have talked to so many people who've gotten into TOS via the film, and thus far my interactions in fandom have been really

I feel so unequipped to provide you with fic, but perhaps there might be some pic goodness at some point.

On that note, the Kirk love made me smile. Those gum cards are full of lol. I so want to see Kirk rescued from a tiny lion. And the way that Bones is checking out his ass? Whoa. Speaking of whoa...pimp hat? *iz ded* Thank you for sharing.

Frankly, most people I know are as confused as I am about where to find it, so don't worry about it. I was asking for recommendations, not for you to write it.

I know! Those descriptions of NO SENSE MAKING. I also like "Attacked By Nothing" or whatever.

[lilithsshadow]

Well I don't read a lot either, so I'm just no help there. ;)

Though it might be fun to find some particularly delightful captures and write a short prompt about them in a similar fashion, you know? There have got to be tons of great pics worth writing about.

[my_daroga]

Oh yeah. Or stories based on those captions. Like the one about Yeoman Rand's raspberries or whatever. Or Kirk being saved by the tiniest flower.

Some of them are probably suited to Shatnoy, too:

[lilithsshadow]

*sigh* Sometimes it's just too easy. But yeah, that was the thought. <3

And with your shirt predicament, I'm all tempted to vector some designs. But there's no way they'd be ready by Saturday.

[my_daroga]

Sometimes it's just too easy.

By this do you mean, "Shatnoy writes itself"?

And don't worry about it! I'm not a huge fan of vector designs anyway (I know, I know, that makes no sense) and yeah, it won't be ready for Ohio. But thanks!

[lilithsshadow]

Oh yeah. It absolutely writes itself. I mean, look at Nimoy's expression! He's totally gonna get him some of that.

And it's cool, I just think some vector work stylizes well for print. But yeah...I digress. Back to the hotness.

[my_daroga]

It's so not-Spock, I don't even know how that got approved. I mean other than by people who had no idea what Star Trek was.

You have a point, definitely. It's just preference, and depends largely on execution, of course.

[lilithsshadow]

Yeah, him smirking like that? But it's sexy.

And it definitely depends on the execution. But there are a lot of good stylizations of TOS, so it's a potential at least.

[my_daroga]

It totally is.

True.

*ded at picture*

Christ, now I need to look at these. Whoah, the hotness!

WHAT IS NOT SO FUNNY ABOUT SHATNER'S CROTCH?

That's what I want to know.

There may be a slightly not-anonymous prompt on the kinkmeme relating to this.

Also Shatner's face as he gazing at the chessboard. I say Shatner because I have a hard time imagining Kirk making that face.

[feanna]

He's totally not looking at the chessboard! That expression is totally "dreamy-in-love"!

[my_daroga]

You're probably right--I was leaving it open to interpretation, though!

[feanna]

All of those cards are total crack!
I'm imagining there was a meeting that went like this:
So, we were at the set of this show were we took lots of silly pictures of the actors doing silly things. We had so much fun with that, that we forgot to ask what they were actually doing, but they gave us a cheat sheet with key character infos, so that's fine. Now we want you to write little texts for each picture. It's also totally ok if you get high first.

[my_daroga]

It'd be awesome to take it a step further, and then create episodes that actually went with those captions/summaries.
