fic author interview

thanks sm for the tag @papercranesong !! i love doing these lol and it’s a great way to procrastinate on doing absolutely anything productive :)

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

28 works :)

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

104 278 words as of september 5, 2024 (which is a number that always makes me grin when i see it because i didn’t think i’d ever be able to write that much!!!)

3. what are your top five fics by kudos?

Cobwebs on the Windowpane (st ds9, 81 kudos)

Meet the Tuckers (st ent, 64 kudos)

Casual Conversations (st ds9, 55 kudos)

Daydreaming (Is a Mild Form of Dissociation) (st ent, 54 kudos)

Sailor Mouth (st ent, 44 kudos)

4. do you respond to comments? why or why not?

yes, of course! sometimes it takes me a while, though. i figure that when people comment (assuming their comment is positive), they’re complimenting you, and to me it’s rude not thank someone for a compliment (if the compliment is given in good faith). i’m also a chronic yapper and i love to talk about things i was thinking about when i was writing or my theories about the characters etc. i love engaging with people as passionate about the characters as i am!!

5. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

umm probably Blind Eye? i’m honestly a little confused about what counts as angst as the dictionary definition isn’t really how people use it in the fic world ahaha. in blind eye, i end on mirror tucker hating himself after having been tortured so probably that one i guess

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

so many choices!! mmm i think the one that’s the most joyous is Sour Cherry Pie—a niche favourite! it seemed like it made a lot of people happy to read, and what else can a writer ask for but that? it ends with a kind of awkward kiss and then trip whooping with joy in the street and calling jon to tell him the good news (he got a date). my modern au exists only to be uplifting so it probably fits the best :)

7. do you write crossovers?

i have in the past. back when i was on ffn i wrote a couple. only published one, though, and then i deleted it cause it used dialogue from an episode of doctor who and i thought i would get sued by the bbc lol (i was 14 i did not know how fair use worked lmfao)

more recently, i wrote a crossover between strange new worlds and enterprise. it had no actual plot so i never published it lol

edit: i published a crossover last august that i completely forgot about. it’s a crossover between st: ent and desmond’s called Just a Trim! it was kinda low-key which is why i forgot it

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

not really hate? but i did get um-actually’d once (they were wrong lmfao)

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

nope! i don’t really read it either. i promised myself when i started writing that i’d never write gratuitous sex—sarah j maas traumatized me. most i’ll do is a fade to black.

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of? possibly i’ve had them scraped by ai but i have no way of knowing. i have had people use metaphors/similes i used tho! unconsciously i’m sure, but it was still very flattering :) i generally subscribe to mimicry being the highest form of flattery lol

11. have you ever had a fic translated?

not by other people, but i’ve translated my own work into spanish lol

12. have you co-written a fic before?

several times! shoutout to glitter, my great collaborator <3 in fact, my fifth-most kudos’d fic i collab’d on with glitter! it’s really fun to see how other people write and what they do with the same idea. it’s also a great way to learn and improve your own writing! (i do apologize for being super fucking slow tho glitter lol)

13. what’s your all-time favourite ship?

based on word count, i guess it’s tuckerreed? (i apologize to my sapphic brethren. i have betrayed the cause.) i’m a big fan of friends to lovers and tuckerreed is classic that. also i think their characters are interesting to parse out particularly because enterprise canon gives us so little—kind of anything goes!

14. what’s a wip you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

i don’t think i have one! any wips that i have now i’ll probably get around to finishing at some point if i care about them. i also just have some that i know i won’t finish and i don’t mind leaving unfinished.

15. what are your writing strengths?

i think my descriptions, imagery, and figurative language make up my writing’s greatest strength. since i was a kid, i’ve been told that my writing makes the reader feel like they’re there in the story—it’s something that i think marks my style: a sort of visceral, embodied quality. i delight in describing the character’s experience of the world and finding surprising new ways to do so!

16. what are your writing weaknesses?

inner monologues. fucking hate those bitches. i hate writing characters meditating on the situations they find themselves in or analyzing their own emotions. i get around it by writing a lot of memories and the visceral experience of emotion and i tend to prefer writing less contemplative characters to avoid writing emotional meditation at the source. i just generally find introspection really tough to write (even though i do it myself all the time…); i tend to favour a more detached narratorial voice, i guess.

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

i came from the hetalia fandom, so this was something i used to see a lot and something that i’ll admit to doing. i have a lot of thoughts on this question!

i think it can be useful if employed sparingly to express particular concepts that can’t be translated faithfully in english. it can also add a form place-ness that might not be achievable otherwise. also, maybe the dialogue in another language isn’t meant to be understood, and i think that’s fine. using another language in dialogue can have applications that add to the story.

BUT. and this is a BIG but. i think often, using another language in fic is inappropriate, intrusive, and ultimately, detracts from the story. inappropriate because often speakers of multiple languages will stick to the language that’s most convenient for the group, and usually people in real life don’t randomly switch to another language on certain words with no context, the way characters do in fic. it exists, in the latter context, only to remind the reader of the particular character’s otherness. intrusive because it forces the reader to do unnecessary work. when i see a section in another language and the translation is in the author’s notes, it interrupts the flow to have to scroll up just to understand what’s happening in the story. even a translation in brackets will interrupt the flow. if you’re going to include a translation anyway, just put the translation in italics to show your character is speaking another language! i think fic authors need to think critically about why they’re including sections of dialogue in another language in their stories, and whether it actually adds anything to the story they’re writing.

18. what was the first fandom you wrote for?

star wars: the clone wars when i was 11. i wrote a self-insert (technically it was an oc but let’s be honest here, that was a thinly veiled attempt to get away with a self-insert) fic where i was a jedi with an orange lightsaber and a darksaber. i very specifically remember being worried that my readers would think my character hadn’t closed the door, so i included a sentence where she closes the door. i hated that sentence; it sounded so stupid and irrelevant, but i thought it was necessary? i later learned you don’t have to describe everything a character does lol

19. what’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

i really wanna write a dungeon meshi farcille fic, but i have no idea what to write! also, i kinda want to write a star wars: the clone wars fic about those two underworld criminal ladies in “lightsaber lost” being in love lol

20. what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

i think Sing Me Lullabies in Form of My Catcalls. it’s a short story, but i think i nailed the characterizations (and it was my first try for the pov character!) and the descriptions and the general kind of grimy british vibe. the dialogue is a bit clunky, but at the time i thought it was my masterpiece and i think it still stands up, even though i’ve improved a lot since then. it was also my first attempt at writing people necking on and i think it reads really well and i’m very proud of myself for that :)

i will say that Danse Macabre is starting to creep up on lullabies, though. i LOVE danse macabre. it really challenges me to approach my writing differently and to analyze and apply an unfamiliar style, and i’m really proud of how it’s shaping up. it’s the sort of story that makes me excited to write it! i do sometimes worry that the canon characters are getting lost, but overall, i’m really proud of what i’ve achieved so far with the story: i think i’ve done a pretty decent job of capturing a general victorian literary language!

thanks so much for tagging me again paper crane song <<3 it was great to read everyone’s responses and great to answer these questions that i’ve never really been asked before for the most part.

anyone who wants to join in, please do! tagging: @glitter-and-metal @scatterbrainedcapybara @themurdochmemesteries @cyanocitta-cristata-bromia

fic author interview

Yoinked this from @ladytharen because it looked like fun. Hope that's not presumptuous of me. <.<

Tagging @deadheaddaisy, @phoenixflames12, @butcharondir, and anybody else who'd like to play.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

60! That's a nice round number.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

Currently 593,580 - though in fairness, nearly a third of that is a single fic.

It was a different time back when I wrote that.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The four fics of my Built to Last series (though not in order, lol)

What We Build Here

For the Duration

From the Ground Up

The Place We Call Home

And rounding out the top 5, a Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency fic!

Lay Down the Beat

4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Absolutely! And because I have very little self-control, I will often do so within minutes of receiving them! 😅

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm. I don't really do angst - I mean, I'll write stories where angst happens, but that's rarely the point of the story. If the plot demands a dash of angst, then, much like a chocolate recipe that needs some salt, it will get its angst. But I don't really set out to write A Series of Sad Events in Which the Characters Are Sad; that's just not my style or my taste.

So I can't really say that ANY of my stories have an angsty ending. Oh well.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

With the above in mind, happy endings are basically a guarantee, at least up to a point. 😆 I let my darlings be happy, I let them get married and have things work out, because it's fiction, dammit, and I can.

That being said, probably the happiest of all would be just about any of my Trip/T'Pol fic, because I let them get married and have kids and successful careers and be surrounded by friends and family who love and support them because SCREW YOU CANON.

7. Do you write crossovers?

No, I don't think my brain's wired for that. I just...can't seem to.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Never on AO3 (okay, I once got snippily told I'd mistagged something, but that wasn't hate). I have gotten hate here on Tumblr, though never anything specific, just general "u suck" which...whatever.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

For a long time, I did not.

That answer has since changed.

As for what kind...the sweetest, fluffiest, most loving, happy, vanilla, tooth rotting smut ever.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, and I seriously doubt I ever would. I'm rather niche.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, niche. Haven't yet, doubt I will.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Years ago, I worked on an AU fic project with a friend that was very cool and a lot of fun. None of it ever got published, though.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Which ever one I'm writing right now. 😁

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I wouldn't mind finishing my Shadowrun: Dragonfall fic The Haven. Maybe some day.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue, baby! I can have two characters sit and talk to each other FOREVER.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Action and physical description. Even when I can clearly see a room where action is occurring in my mind, I have real trouble describing it on the page.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I used to not have any, then I started making up words and phrases in my own version of Andorian for my Trek fic.

And I still don't really have many thoughts, because I'm sure I'm doing it wrong.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Hmmmm. Pretty sure there's some BtVS fic of mine still existent on LiveJournal. 😅

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

I'd love to write Discworld (I adore Carrot/Angua), but Discworld is already so perfect. It would have to be an absolute gem of an idea.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Whichever one I just finished. 😄

*Scott Bakula’s voice* “This episode of Bluey is called ‘Enterprise’”

The previous TNG Bluey post was a banger so here’s another promise; The Enterprise crew! (ft. Travis the Labrador, Hoshi the Shiba Inu, Archer the Beagle, Trip the Golden Retriever, and Malcolm the Wolfdog)

Random spoilerific reasons to read Star Trek novels, with little to no context:

Ro/Quark is a thing

A Jem'Hadar joins DS9, tries to fit in but eventually snaps and tries to kill everybody

You learn the origins and final fate of the Borg

A thinly-veiled Dr. House clone joins the Voyager crew

Geordi briefly has 2 girlfriends at once (due to different writers not co-ordinating enough, but still)

There's a TOS book that's a musical

There are YA stories about Jake and Nog making mischief on DS9

YA stories about Worf, Geordi, Picard, Beverly, Kirk, Spock and McCoy at SFA

YA series about the Kelvinverse gang (including Gaila!) as cadets, taking on a drug problem at SFA and a very unique Borg scout in San Francisco

We very briefly meet the people who are to Q what the Q are to humanity

Janeway/Chakotay is a thing

Kirk's first mission in command of the Enterprise! Erm, at least twice.

Kirk was married between TOS and TMP

Her name was Lori

In the future, you have yearly marriage contracts that you either update or you don't and I think that's amazing

Trip didn't die! He faked his death to join Section 31 and go undercover as a Romulan

It's not great, tbh

The ENT books get better after the Romulan wars though, it's proper founding of the Federation stuff

We meet Jack Crusher (erm, the OG) when 4 timelines start overlapping and he's a bit unhinged

Teenage Kirk stole a car and his choice was go to jail or join Starfleet

What happened when Voyager got home? Seven broke up with Chakotay like 30 pages in

Kirk gets cloned, and his clone becomes the sub of an evil invincible super genius and its all very gay

George Kirk was Robert April's first officer on the first ever mission of the unnamed starship with the Naval Construction Contract 1701

Robert is a hard-core pacifist and has to turn command over to George whenever it's time to fire weapons

Data becomes fully human for a couple of days and it's really sweet

They never say "wristwatch" or "phone", it's always "wrist chrono" or "personal comm"

There are gays but they don't say that word because it's the 1990's and Rick Berman runs the franchise

Spock has a son in the past with Zarabeth

Everyone in the post-Nemesis era does spy missions all the time non stop, as if Starfleet has abandoned exploring the cosmos for doing Space Mission: Impossible

Bashir does it better than anyone else, he takes on Section 31 from the inside

Remember Control? It's from the novels, except the novels do it SO MUCH BETTER.

Remember how we never found out who Future Guy was? We do.

It's very underwhelming, nobody we know

We find out how the Romulans and Vulcans split

Surak was a Vulcan internet blogger

A Borg Cube eats Pluto

Janeway dies

Janeway gets better

At least one TOS book features a wizard

There's a Star Trek TOS/Here Come the Brides crossover novel

It had cameos from The Doctor (as in, Who), Han Solo, Starbuck and others

Whole book series about Section 31

Whole book series about the Department of Temporal Investigations

One time they do the Bill and Ted thing to escape confinement and it works

Wanna know how Riker and Troi met?

Wanna know what Picard got up to on the Stargazer?

Andorians have 4 sexes and it's very complicated

Data comes back from the dead as Data 2.0, and it was fresh and exciting because it happened long before ST: Picard did it twice.

Lal comes back too and we get father/daughter android stuff! They have a home and everything but keep having to save the universe

One time Mirror Seven is led around on a leash naked on Terok Nor

Geordi becomes captain of the USS Challenger, decides it's not for him because plot, and goes back to engineering on the Enterprise

Kirk is shot on the bridge and dies

Kirk gets better

They watch 3D holos of old Doctor Who episodes in the Enterprise rec room

The Enterprise also has an AI named Moira, which was Zora long before Zora

The TOS crew get together for one last mission. About three times.

There's a Perry Mason book except it's about Kirk's lawyer from that TOS episode

Data 2.0 owns and runs a massive gambling empire on Orion

Spock keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

Scotty keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

Bones keeps randomly showing up everywhere in the TNG era

You're on Tumblr so you already know about Killing Time

There's a guy named McKenzie Calhoun and he's a total badass and captains a ship of weirdos and misfits

Kirk comes back from the dead, saves the galaxy repeatedly, has an intersex child (who identifies as male) with a Romulan/Klingon hybrid

Kirk beats up Worf

Kirk's child has superpowers

Kirk's child saves the galaxy at age 6

The Kirk stuff is 100% ignored in the other novels

About 50% of the novels are ignored in the other 50%, and the ones that are meant to be in direct continuity with each other aren't always quite

Just like the TV shows and movies, then

Lwaxana Troi meets Q, and it goes as well as you'd expect

Someone tells Data, yes you idiot you had emotions all along and he's like, oh shit you're right

McCoy is left in command of the Enterprise as a joke by Kirk, who is then immediately kidnapped

Ro Laren is captain of Deep Space Nine

Picard/Beverly is a thing, they get married and have a child named Rene. No running away and raising your kid in secret here

Riker and Troi are married, serve on the Titan together with a bunch of adorable weirdos and have a daughter named Tasha

You get to watch all the 24th century characters die horribly in the end along with their entire universe. Holy fuck it's a bleak horror show. Personally, I love it. But if that's not your cup of tea I'd skip the Coda trilogy

Hey I just saw screen shot of top rankings on ST. And all I saw were cp of boy/man couples only in the top 5. Do they not have girl boy paring as one of the top cps? Why only m/m? I am not homophobic or a feminist. Jus want to know why hetero cp does not rise to the top? Is it because they are easily disbanded if so there must be actors in real relationship. Why not their cps are popular? do c-ent not have f/f popular pairings? I just want to understand the probable reasons or if you have ever done any analysis taking c-cent and chinese culture into account.

Listing homophobia and feminism as though they are in the same lane, Anon? 😔 Feminism is simply the belief that women shouldn’t be subjugated to men. I hope everyone finds their way to become a feminist, regardless of gender.

It’s true that you have to scroll for a while before you find a non m/m CP supertopic. LOL. Not sure why that is. It could be something to do with shipping culture and its crossover with BL and fanfic fandoms.

I’m sure there are probably some f/f pairings if you scroll far enough. I know there are women that are shipped together, although their popularity isn’t as high as m/m.

Sorry I can’t be more help, Anon.

ST ask meme - ALL OF THEM

Star Trek ask meme

Under a read more, because long.

1. Top 3 favorite female characters? Kathryn Janeway, Seven of Nine, Uhura.

2. Top 3 favorite male characters? Reg Barclay, Rom, Data.

3. Top 3 least favorite characters? Katherine Pulaski, Wesley Crusher, Jadzia Dax. (I said Travis Mayweather on my other post but he’s honestly tied with Jadzia.)

4. Favorite alien species? I really enjoy the Borg. Voyager ruined them just the tiniest bit though, by overusing them.

5. Episode plot you wish they had handled differently? Several are coming to mind, but I think I’m actually gonna go with the Enterprise finale. Which I don’t remember terribly well but I remember that it sucked. Riker and Troi? Seriously? The least that show could have done was end on a reasonably high note. Granted it was never a great show in the first place…

6. Character you feel a show could have done without? Pulaski was so utterly unnecessary, and just horrible. I realize they wanted Gates McFadden gone, which was also a mistake. Just let her stay through the whole thing.

7. Who would make up your crew dream team? Captain Janeway, First Officer Spock, Chief Engineer Reg Barclay, Doctor EMH, Tactical Officer Worf, the rest can just fight for it idk.

8. Which captain would you most want to serve under? It’s a toss up between Picard and Janeway… I think Janeway wins by the tiniest bit. Picard would also be awesome.

9. Which episode plot do you prefer?

a. Time traveling to the past or dealing with time travelers from the future? The past. I love time travel everything give me all the time travel please.

b. Going undercover to spy on enemies or going undercover to explore pre-warp planets? Probably the enemies, but it really depends on the episode.

c. Holodeck malfunction or space anomaly? Depends what the holodeck malfunction is and what the space anomaly is. Holodeck malfunctions are always stupid, but we need to know if it’s the good kind of stupid.

d. Ship being taken over or being stranded on a planet? Taken over.

e. Rapid aging or de-aging? De-aging. “Rascals” is a gift.

f. Diplomatic negotiations or all out battle? Both? Both is good. (Negotiate to stop the battle.)

10. Which alien pet would you most want for your own? The unicorn dog.

11. Top 3 OTPs? Janeway/Chakotay, Doctor/Seven, Rom/Leeta

12. Top 3 NOTPs? Chakotay/Seven (seriously wtf), Dukat/Winn, Garak/Ziyal

13. A ship you wish had been canon and why? Garak and Bashir. They had great chemistry from their very first scene and it’s just such an interesting pair.

14. A ship you wish hadn’t been canon and why? Garak/Ziyal. She’s barely legal. They were only doing it so the Garak/Bashir shippers had no chance. It didn’t make sense. It was forced.

15. Top 3 favorite alien crewmembers? Spock, Worf, Seven of Nine.

16. If you could steal the basic plot of an episode for one show and apply to another which would you choose? Well Enterprise directly stole plots from other shows multiple times… honestly I can’t think of any.

17. What role would you have aboard a starship? Science officer…? Engineer? One of those.

18. If you had to fight a character who would you choose? Pulaski.

19. You can undo one plot point, which do you choose? Dukat joining the Pah-Wraiths. That’s the exact moment his arc went from absolutely incredible to just… a piece of shit.

20. Which piece of technology do you wish existed in reality? Transporter.

21. What kind of stories do you hope the new show does? Explore current issues. Make important points about our current world. Make people uncomfortable. Make people examine themselves and how they behave.

22. Would you rather serve on a starship or a space station? Space station, probably.

23. Favorite tropes? The non-human character trying to figure out what the hell humans are even doing.

24. Which character do you relate to the most? Reg Barclay.

25. Favorite villain(s)? Dukat, the Borg, the Dominion.

26. Which alien hybrid offspring are you most interested in seeing? Uh… this is really not something I thought about before. Maybe a Bolian and a Klingon. See how that one works out. (Yeah I just kinda picked two random races…)

27. What do you wish they had handled differently? A lot of Reg’s later TNG episodes treated him as comic relief. I would have liked to see more of him in a serious light and less comedic. And also directly acknowledging that he has anxiety of some kind, whatever that might be, would be great.

28. Character(s) you want to cosplay as? I really don’t do much cosplay, I’d be happy just to have a StarFleet uniform.

29. Favorite and least favorite episodes? I’ll just go one from each show, this is hard. These might not be the absolutes but they’re what popped into my head first.

Favorites - “The City on the Edge of Forever”, “Realm of Fear”, “Far Beyond the Stars”, “Bride of Chaotica!”, sorry I can’t consider any ENT episode to be a favorite.

Least favorites - “The Mark of Gideon”, “Sub Rosa”, “The Muse”, “Year of Hell”, “These Are the Voyages…”

30. Something you wish you could delete from canon? That ghost trying to bang Crusher? Yeah I completely skipped that episode on my rewatch, no thank you.

31. A crossover with another show/movie/book/ect, that you’d want to see? Doctor Who, Stargate, or Firefly.

32. F/M/K. I dunno. Someone give me three choices and I’ll answer this.

33. Whose twitter feed would you most want to follow? Data’s would be a blast, I think.

34. What do you think *insert character*’s tumblr would be full of? Someone has to send a character. Since I write Reg, I will say that Reg’s Tumblr would be cats, advice for dealing with anxiety, cool space pictures, cats, engineering facts, and cats.

35. A minor character you wish had become a main character? Reg Barclay. I always want more Reg Barclay.

36. A social issue you hope the new show tackles and how? Actual gay people would be nice.

37. Character A and Character B get into a fight, who wins? I need characters.

38. *Insert crew here* is thrown back in time to *insert time period here*, how do they handle it, which fashion trends do they pick up, who threatens the timeline the most, who is saddest when they have to leave, who is most knowledgeable, who stands out the most, ect? Again, I need things. Also this would take forever to answer, so…

39. You have to relocate to a planet other than Earth, which do you choose? …Vulcan? Andoria? Some Earth colony? Yeah probably an Earth colony, if there’s a nice big one.

40. If you got a trek inspired tattoo what would it be? I don’t think I’d get a tattoo… but I mean, if I were forced to get one at gunpoint for some reason, maybe the IDIC medallion on my ankle or something simple like that.

41. Which episode(s) creeped out/scared you the most? “Night Terrors”, the TNG episode where the crew can’t dream. When Crusher’s in the morgue and all the corpses are suddenly sitting up? I lost it the first time I saw that as a kid. Still creeps me the fuck out.

42. Which episode(s) made you cry? “Real Life”, the VOY episode with the Doctor’s holographic family that you never see again. I don’t know why that one got to me but it got to me.

43. Order of shows from most to least favorite? Deep Space 9, Next Generation, Voyager, Original Series, Enterprise, Animated. Honestly DS9, TNG, VOY, and TOS are all at about the same level for me, I love them all but in different ways. ENT is a noticeable step down in quality and TAS is uh… yeah.

44. If *insert crew* ended up in the modern day what would amaze them the most? Gotta give me a crew.

45. Which alien culture would you most want to live in/would feel most comfortable? Denobulans would be super friendly, I feel like.

46. If they rebooted *insert show here* who out of modern day actors would you pick to play the main characters? No more reboots.

47. An unpopular opinion you have? Jadzia Dax is the worst character on DS9. She’s an annoying know-it-all who can apparently do no wrong. She also has no character development to speak of and her episodes were always the most boring, despite the Trill being a fascinating race. Worf deserved better. Also, Terry Farrell never seemed the right choice for the part. I was glad to see her go and I genuinely don’t understand why this fandom worships the ground she walks on.

48. Sort the crew of *insert show here* into Hogwarts houses. Someone want to send a show?

49. A favorite ST fic? I don’t read much fanfic, actually. I did read one where Q was trying to help Reg get over his stage fright. That was pretty funny. I can’t remember where it was or I’d link to it.

50. A random headcanon? At some point after the episode “Hollow Pursuits”, Reg Barclay gave Deanna Troi a damn good (and completely genuine) apology for recreating her on the holodeck for make out sessions.

Tag Lists

About the tags

Posts are tagged with the #’d phrases below. Clicking the underlined tag phrase or tag description will take you to all posts for that tag. These phrases are designed to provide a method for searching without clogging up a character’s or ship’s main tag. (Relatedly, if any one of these tags is already in common use and we didn't realize it, you can let us know and we'll change our tag to make it more arcane! Our tags are more for organization and navigation within this blog than anything else.)

Posts can also be searched for using multiple categories. (Example: searching on the blog's search bar for “garakbashirfic citrusfic” will get you all Garak/Bashir fics that are also NC-17.)

Specific ship and character tags

Due to the limit on number of inline links allowed in a post, the specific character and ship tags have been broken up into multiple posts, sorted alphabetically by character surname. Each ship tag is listed under ALL characters involved. (Example: the tag for Jadzia Dax/Worf can be found under both Jadzia Dax and Worf.)
