CAPTAIN’S LOG: Stardate: Whatever. An outpost let us know that they are being destroyed. When we got there we got our asses blown up because they are being destroyed. Made sure to have at least one redshirt on landing party to draw fire, but still jumped through explosion because it makes me look manly. Spock had forgotten how to dialogue and Uhura ( Read more... )

Hahaha that was awesome! And so true. Because of the awesomeness and manlyness of Captain Kirk we tend to overlook things.

I found you on AO3 and followed you here. I remember these kind of “breadbox” stories back from the Stargate fandom but haven’t read any in TOS yet (I’m very new to the fandom anyway). Can’t wait to read the rest!

Greetings from Dresden ;)

Ooh, Dresden! I've been there just this summer, with a friend from the States. Such a lovely city. :)

Glad you liked this!

Thank you! We are very proud of our city! I love living where other people come for a visit.
I have international visitors as well. If you haven't yet, you also need to go to Saxon Switzerland, just one hour by train away - beautiful landscape. I even took the Doctor there for a visit: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/70713.html

Dresden is also the reason why I was only now watching TOS for the first time in my life. You know, "Tal der Ahnungslosen" - no Western TV in my childhood in the Seventies. And later I was occupied first with Stargate and then Doctor Who and Torchwood. Can only do one fandom at a time.

So here I am, 40 years too late, and enjoying myself massively! But because so many fanfictions are about the new movies now, I searched specifically for TOS today, and that's how I found you. Hope you don't mind me exploring your journal a bit more thoroughly.

Those are beautiful pictures! Sadly, it's not one hour away from where I live. (For reference, getting to Dresden took us seven.)

I grew up with Star Trek, though more Next Generation. I didn't watch TOS until much later.

Never too late to join a fandom, especially if you were kept from it by a big fat wall and lack of western tv signals! It's just annoying if all the good stuff is down by the time you get there, and there's no new stuff to enjoy. I've been there. I am there right now, actually. I hope you find something you enjoy here.

Love your icon, by the way!

Oh my, seven hours! Yeah, takes me about six to go to Dusseldorf and Fedcon. I just meant, if you are one day in the neighbourhood again. Maybe for a longer vacation. Lots of old castles and fortresses to explore here also (my American friend was into that ( ... )

My American friend is into that, too. :) Must be something about American friends.
Sadly, we didn't get to go nearly everywhere we wanted to, partially because the water level was so low the ferries didn't run.

I just saw that a friend has all the Star Trek Continues episodes available for watching.

That's also an awesome icon! :D

Why Kater?

I guess it's because they don't have much history themselves.

partially because the water level was so low the ferries didn't run.

Yeah, it was a bad year for ferries and steamboats. They lost a lot of money also. Unbelieveable that two years ago we had the second bad flood with 9 meters water level.

I just saw that a friend has all the Star Trek Continues episodes available for watching.

You don't need a friend for that, you can watch for free (or download) on their website, or youtube, or dailymotion, they are everywhere. They will be also shown at next year's Fedcon, and the guy that plays Captain Kirk is invited. Impatiently waiting for Sunday and the fifth episode here.

Just remember, the first is the weakest in my eyes, so don't judge it on that alone.

Why Kater?Oh, that's a long story! First, when I was a baby, it was Mummelchen. Later Mummel. Then in TV was a animated series with the Kater Mumpel. And later another series with Kater Kasimir. So sometimes it is also Kasimir ;) ( ... )

Another late reply.

The American's have plenty of history - just not as the people they identify as. I guess it has something to do with that "Old world" charme.

That nickname story actually makes a lot more sense than most origin stories of nicknames. :P

Such nice pictures! I particularly like the banana one, and the one with Kai Owen.
