It's Not Easy Being Green

May 21, 2009 23:52

Remember how, way back in the early days of Star Trek: Voyager fandom, Megan and Jenny Delaney from Stellar Cartography were branded the sluts of the ship for daring to enjoy sex? Right, so I'm having flashbacks. Only this time, it's Gaila who's being called names in the blogsphere for, well... enjoying casual sex as much as James T Kirk does. And ( Read more... )

I posted this f-locked a bit ago, reposting it here makes sense. Context: In an interview, the writers said she was an escaped Orion Slave Girl, which I think makes her 10x as awesome. So, bit of her pre-escape life. WARNING: dark/disturbing concepts one might expect when writing about the backstory of an escaped sex slave ( ... )

This is so tragic but so ferocious.

*g* Thanks! There's a continuation semi-planned that's less tragic and more triumphant, but I've gotta clear off the rest of my plate first. *sparklehearts Gaila*

I cried. Really. Thank you for writing that.

svilleficrecs May 22 2009, 17:35:44 UTC

Thanks! :)

VERY nicely done. I am very proud of this Gaila for freeing herself.

svilleficrecs May 22 2009, 17:36:13 UTC

Thanks. :) I definitely look forward to seeing how this one gets from here to LOLZing at silly Jim Kirk.

Thank you!

Now I want to see Gaila at the Kirk's farm in Iowa. *hugs her tight*

svilleficrecs May 22 2009, 17:37:19 UTC

Ooo, that would be pretty cool. Her and Kirk bonding over farm stuff, without her telling him the fuckedupness of her farm work would be awesome.

Wow. (The "squee" I added to the icon you so kindly shared is wholly inappropriate, and yet somehow not). This is AMAZING and made me cry.

svilleficrecs May 22 2009, 17:38:01 UTC

Thank you! I like to think of her unadulterated squee to be coming from a place that squees so fully because she knows fuckedupness so fully.

wiliqueen May 22 2009, 18:18:41 UTC

Yes! Exactly! So. Awesome.

sabaceanbabe May 22 2009, 18:16:50 UTC

Ouch. Painful, but so very well done.

It's good, and I know what the writers said she was . . .

But I was under the impression (and granted, I got this off a site a few weeks ago) that, according to canon, Orion women are slave girls in name only, and that in fact they use the pheromones their bodies produce to gradually take control of their "masters". And that they preserve the fiction of the "Orion slave girl" in order to keep this a secret.

(I realize that canon was shot out of a howitzer in the movie, but I don't see how changing Kirk's past would change an unrelated planet's society.)

Sincerely, Allaine
