Comics post
1. Just found out that Dwayne McDuffie died (in February). Major bummer. Dwayne McDuffie alone did a lot to even get me into comics in the first place. His writing was witty, his pacing workmanlike, and his characters were people you couldn't help but love ( Read more... ) -
There are no words
Does anyone else hear wakka-chikka music when reading this? Note: this is an introductory scene in a piece of fanfiction which is truly intended to be an innocent domestic scene between two erstwhile TV characters, not a giant double-entendre along the lines of the opening to the movie The Bird Cage.

The Lady Eve (1941) - Please Tell Me I'm Not The Only One To Notice
Farfalla and I watched The Lady Eve (Preston Sturges wr. with Henry Fonda as a socially awkward nerd and Barbara Stanwyck) and we were elbowing each other all the way through. I queried the internets today and came up dry ( Read more... ) -
Story rec: Leave No Soul Behind, STXI AU K/S

S and S'

Anyone who's taken high school math should know that the zeroth iteration goes by its name and the first iteration is marked by a ', which is pronounced "prime", the ( Read more... ) -
Best weird Trek pairing evars!
I've been awfully neglectful not sharing my favorite aspect to STIX fandom: The Sarek/Winona Kirk pairing. Here are two awesome stories and feel free to share in comments any awesome NuTrek Sarek stories I might have missed. Oh yeah, bad news, I had to lock down comments to friends only because some post I made last year got really out of control ( Read more... ) -
a k/s rec for the stix universe
This is probably the first time I've ever recced a work in progress, but here goes: "Fighting Gravity" by pantswarrior? Is really amazing. It manages to be in character without being annoying. (Easy to do with nuTrek characters, because they are pretty annoying.) Instead the author manages to bring out the characters' good points in a subtle way. I ( Read more... ) -
