Is there anyone else who needs anything?

My sanity? I am pretty sure that is going to be impossible to find at this point though, LOL, so as you were.

I'm just editing and writing like the wind so my artist doesn't kill me. They need enough to be inspired, but I don't want to send them off crap either. Dilemmas! And over 90,000 words now, FML.

Dude, you beat me to this answer. CHA TO YOU.

ETA: However you speak the existential angst of the people, so all is forgiven.

Hm, I was pretty sure Spock gets called Commander a lot...am I wrong here, I have it that way if my fic many many times! :O

[vellum]

yup, changing that, i got it mixed up with battlestar galactica.

[nikki4noo]

Actually Spock's position is First Officer, sometimes referred to as Executive Officer, hence the XO. His rank is Commander and his title is Mister.

Memory Alpha entry here

aha, i'm just going to delete that, then.

I need a little help with some russian too, if there is anyone out there that knows some.

[knp01]

If it's something realtivly simple and not porny I could ask my parents, they both know Russian, but I won't be really helpfull when it comes to translittering it to English alphabet, as I use different system :/

[vellum]

if you ctrl+f on word, a window will pop up for a find and replace, so you could input it once and do a 'replace all'.

and i never realized that, but i think that's because all the time that i read someone calling spock mr., it's somewhat affectionate.

[vellum]

if there's something tedious to do on word, there's usually a way around it. there was an aspiring author on my flist once who made a post about how she hand-typed the page numbers on all 145 pages of her manuscript. >:O! was my reaction, because it takes three clicks to put page numbers in.

[knp01]

Actually McCoy's posting is 'CMO', his rank is 'Lt. Commander', his title is 'Doctor', Spock's postings are 'First Officer' (sometimes called XO, but I haven't heard it in TOS, but I may be wrong) and 'Head of Science Dept.', his title is 'Mister' and rank is 'Commander'.

/edit:
oh, nikki4noo bet me with clarifications./

[vellum]

this is good to know, though, thanks!

[yeomanrand]

sometimes called XO, but I haven't heard it in TOS, but I may be wrong

I'm not sure about this and I might well be wrong, but I think Number One was referred to as the XO.

[knp01]

I think I am going to rewach that episode if just to sate my curiousity :)
