I'm sorry. The title is very appropriate (you'll see) yet very misleading. I see you thinking now: ah, this must be a cracky, light-hearted romp! Possibly with musical interludes! That's because I didn't come up with it: Erin did. If I had come up with a title, it would be something earnest and overly serious, like this fic. Well, at least it's not ( Read more... )

Hello from France. The weather has turned less beach-y, and there's only so many medieval cities like Carcasonne you can go sight-seeing in, plus I feel like I could write something. So here's a little prompt game I cooked up ( Read more... )

RPG friends and I have started a project lately - watch (all of) Star Trek. Well, we've started Voyager and TOS, I'm not sure we'll ever get around to TNG and we've already nixed Enterprise. So how about a Trek meme?

I'd like to get another anon meme fic betaed, does anyone feel up to it?

It's this fic, which is short, gen and a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. The characters are Ten, Q and Picard, so familiarity with Next Generation would be great!

That evening of playing the Star Trek RPG a while ago made me re-watch some DS9, which is my favourite Star Trek series ( Read more... )

That fic which was actually supposed to be a short, slashy episode tag to "Frontier in Space" has now turned into a plotty (for certain definitions of plotty... I'm not sure bastardizing the plot of "Planet of the Daleks" counts), not terribly exiting gen piece of 13000 + words - but at least it's getting written. And there's lots of touching and ( Read more... )

I continue to spam you with Star Trek meta posing as essays. They're wonderfully easy to write because I don't have to spend 90% of my time researching and quoting secondary sources.

( Star Trek and questions of racial identity (original series, TNG and DS9) )

Someone expressed interest in these, so here's the first of my essays for my Cultural Studies course on Star Trek. The topic is Cold War, Vietnam and the original Trek series. Grammar corrections are highly welcome, as it's not yet handed in ;)

I've long considered fandom (and the internet) a playground where you can safely try out things. Maybe "safely" isn't quite the right word, but it's still a lot less likely to get you in trouble than other social contexts. It's also like this awesome self-documentating social experiment, where, potentially, fascinating and new forms of social ( Read more... )
