A Wrong Turn at Albuquerque (Star Trek XI, Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura)

[puella_nerdii]

Slowly but surely clearing out the fic backlog! Oddly enough, having the House in My Head ficbits to play with is helping my focus rather than distracting from it, because they are quick and fun things I can write when I'm sick to death of a particular story, or of doing research

Quite a lot of it, actually, though you'll have to nag mithrigil about it. Thanks for reading!

Loving the icon, by the way.

I will seriously nag this person if it means more fic like this. ._.?

[puella_nerdii]

She's working on a really long project, kind of a re-envisioning of Amok Time; it's mostly her thing, though I'm there for input and feedback. But she's definitely the one to nag about it.

...dare I ask what's going on in that icon?

And thanks so much -- Mith and I are having a lot of fun in this 'verse, and at least part of the logic you speak of is her doing. The characters are so much fun, bless them all; one of the best things about getting into Star Trek XI is going back and watching the TOS episodes and comparing what you see there with what you see in the movie. (And yeah, Chekov. I am kind of pedo for Chekov. So cuuuute.)

That was the most awesome thing ever. Like, I really wish this were an episode of Star Trek: Reboot--the new movie spin-off show!

Good humor is so hard to do (I think, much harder than good porn, to some degree) and I laughed out loud at this a number of times. I actually tried to not laugh to test if I was just giddy, but the giggles came in nonetheless. I especially liked Uhura in this. And the scene where they were watching Bugs was brilliant.

If there was a spin-off show of the new movie, I think I'd die happy. *grins* Am so glad you liked this. And I agree with you about humor, actually, which is why I tend to write porn rather than humor. *grins* I'm glad it worked for you here, though!

So one of my guilty-pleasure-favorite-things in watching TOS is picking out all the twentieth-century pop-culture references, and I wanted to keep those in some form with new!Kirk, but I figured that new!Kirk's a lot more likely to bust out Bugs than Milton. (Unless he's really trying to show off, which he sometimes is.)

This was amazing! Totally fucking captivating; hilarious; the characterizations were wonderful and vivid; can't wait to see more!

[puella_nerdii]

Thanks! More should be on the way~

this is great, i love when people make Uhura badass.

the ship-wide betting pool is awesome, the fact that it really is somewhat of a small town on the enterprise makes the gossip even better because you just know that its a huge game of telephone going on there.

i can see kirk's laissez-faire attitude is going to come back and bite him in the ass, especially since the fact that he held off going to other .... omg i just realized that the situation with spock and kirk is the same as bugs and elmer fudd situation, but with sexual partners/romantic interests rather than hunting trophies.

i feel verrryyy dumb right now. this is why i stick to writing essays rather than fiction, i'm not good with seeing allegories and foreshadowing.

can't wait for more of it.

*grin* Thanks, and more should be on the way soon! We love making Uhura badass too, because well, she's pretty awesome. And the Enterprise is definitely a small town -- I read a really hilarious fic along those lines where McCoy compares it to one, but yeah, you have four hundred people living in close quarters for each other for an extended period of time; everyone knows everyone else's business.
