Title: Midnight Judges
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness
Rating: PG
Ships: gen
Characters: original characters, Spock Prime, Number One, Christopher Pike, Gaila, Doctor M'Benga, Christine Chapel, James T. Kirk
Additional info: race, ability, religion, genderqueer, original characters, meta

Summary: In the two weeks following the events of Star Trek Into Darkness, a Starfleet officer tries to put Starfleet back together again.

As a friend pointed out, anyone looking for a fic with plot and subtlety should probably not read this fic. It might work whether you liked the movie or not, but I wrote it in order to address multiple aspects of fail. It should probably be titled, "Why I Love Starfleet".

A/N: Thanks to

mage_girl so so so much for the speedy read-through, and talking to me about issues and things. Thanks also to

everbright for the just-as-speedy SPAG check, and for being so generous with your time. And thanks a million times over to

my_daroga.

my_daroga came up with an essential plot point to this story, and provided other useful suggestions. She also did a read-through and edited for me, and most of all, always listens to me talk non-stop about stories when I am writing them. I'm sorry! You're amazing. All mistakes are mine. Thanks so much, all three of you!

This story is finished.

Midnight Judges

Title: The Old Ways
Word Count: 1,500
Pairing: Spock gen
Rating: G
Summary: Correct me if I’m wrong: this is about Spock’s mom sweater.
A/N: Per Jungle Kitty’s List of Cliches, you should never name a Trek fic after a song by Loreena McKinnett. You probably also shouldn’t write a fic “inspired” by a song by Loreena McKinnett. OOPS. IT SANG TO ME. It's a good song! Luckily no Sarah MacLachlan was used in the production of this fic.

( The Old Ways )

Current Mood: rushed

I never really understood the point of fanmixes until I heard

stoney321's fanmix for the character Connor from Angel. This fanmix worked for me because the songs weren't about Connor over-all; they were about specific moments in Connor's life. Maybe most fanmixes are like that (please point me to the ones that are), but the ones I've heard and seen tend to be general songs about who the character is over-all or how someone feels about a 'ship. Stoney's, OTOH, mix gave me specific things I could recognize and connect to.

There are soft, thoughtful songs about family in the beginning, at Connor's birth. Then there are loud scary songs about torture and survival, when Connor goes to a Hell dimension. But the songs have less concrete references to what was going on in these moments of the characters life, than they do interpretations of what was going on. I mean, a song doesn't have to sound like hell to be about Hell. Anyway, when I listen to this fanmix, I feel like I'm getting the story of the character, and for me it's as cool as watching the show. I love this fanmix, and am eternally grateful to Stoney for making it.

Another thing arranging the fanmix by moments in the character's life does is make the mix extremely varied. There's classical music, church music, Johnny Cash, Metallica, and Radiohead on this mix. This mix also introduced me to songs and artists and covers that I hadn't heard before. I've always wished I could have this fanmix experience for other characters I know and love, and then I started thinking--if we opened this up we could get some really diverse choices for pieces that fit a character, AND we could introduce each other to new music.

( So let's make a fanmix like this for Spock Prime. )

Current Mood: sad

How sad is it that

st_xi_kink closing upsets me?

It was a cool place to idea dump, which is one of my favorite things. And to mooch other people's ideas, another favorite thing. I also liked how it gave people a chance to talk about things they might otherwise be embarrassed about.

But way beyond that, this is a community to me. It's not like I got to know anyone through the meme really well, though I certainly recognize a few more lj names than I did before. But this was the place where everything was for me, where so many things started. I often have trouble getting into fandoms because I feel like I can't figure out where it's all happening, but it was always happening on the meme. Even the wank made it feel to me that okay, this is where this fandom lives.

And despite said wank, there was this definite sense of wonder. Of excitement. Of love for the fandom, for the fact of fandom itself, for strangers and writers and creators and shared interests and discussion.

And, uh. The roleplay. What oh what am I going to do with

no_ones_slave now (yes, I'm coming out; the meme is over; the time seems right)? Not that I've done anything with her for a while. But she's going to be so upset about this. Her and o-fine were going to do a kink talk show. The meme is where she met all those wonderful people.

Plus, not only did I feel like I was a part of something community-wise, it also felt, uh, history making. I know fandom history isn't much in the scheme of things, but I love fanlore, and always wanted to be in the making, as it were. To have it just go on forever, for it to just always be that Star Trek thing that went on and on--sorta like Star Trek itself--would've been really grand.

That said. Saint Anon? Still a superstar. And my mood theme is PERFECT.

Current Mood: accomplished

Title: Girls Are Great

my_daroga, for reactions and encouragement, and

Originally posted the first part of this anonymously for this prompt. I stopped when I realized just how many issues I had with what I wrote. So I added meta to the porn. Then wrote more porn.

I just have to say before I click the button that this is by far the porniest and most ridiculous thing I have ever shared with anyone ever. Anonymous commenting is always allowed in this journal.
