You mean...like Dick Grayson?

Okay, now I'm going to have DCU x Star Trek crossovers in my head forever. The only thing that makes this better is the knowledge that, these fandoms being what they are, that particular crossover has surely already been written hundreds of times.

I wonder where I can find the stories.

(And thank you! Amanda Grayson. *makes a note of it*)

And now I'm trying to figure out who came first: Amanda Grayson or Dick Grayson. I mean, obviously, in canon chronology, Dick came first. But who was actually written first, with that last name?

This is going to keep me up tonight. But thank you! My world is the better for knowing that Amanda is Dick's great-whatever granddaughter. No wonder she pulled a Vulcan.

Dick was also written first -- his first appearance in comics was in 1940, while Star Trek debuted in 1966 (Amanda's first appearance was in 1967, and I'm not sure where her surname was established).

Amanda's last name is Grayson. I have no idea how I know this and part of me thinks maybe I am just mixing up fandoms and maybe I had a dream about Dick Grayson and Spock, but I feel in my heart her last name is Grayson. I suppose I could wiki this.

If you had a dream about Dick Grayson and Spock, I absolutely demand that you share the details. It is only right and just. (And I'm glad I'm not the only one to immediately say, "Wait. Like Dick Grayson?" There is no such thing as a fannish coincidence!)

Yes, to confirm, it is Grayson, and the reason I know that is from the novelizations. There's one called Ishmael where they reference Amanda, but more importantly, Diane Duane's Spock's World is sort of THE book about Vulcan and Spock's background in particular.

So it's that iffy canon angle, but I find that most fanfic writers tend to take Diane Duane's word as good.

That is my favorite fanfic of all time - I seriously love that book and what she did with the canon there.

*sigh*

I should buy a copy of my own. I lost my copy in my divorce.

I read Spock's World and I totally forgot that her name is in there! (But then, I read Spock's World like fan fiction, which is...different.) I feel exceptionally silly.

(The funny thing to me - Spock's World is THE book about Vulcan and Spock's background, but it's actually a McCoy story.)
