Decided to put all of my Star Trek fic in one place. :-)

( Kirk/Spock )

( Kirk/McCoy )

Anyone up for a round-robin?

I'll start...

( Story Start )

Good god what a week. This working two jobs thing is killing me. The end of May cannot get here soon enough. I'm so behind in fandom stuff I don't even know what's going on, lol. I only read the now entirely infamous Simon Pegg tweet very recently (I know, I know... 'that was so earlier this week, Jaylee, where the hell have you been?!'). Yes, I'm fully aware it's old news, but since it can't possibly be reblogged enough, I'm doing it anyway. ;)

...thus cinching Simon Pegg's place as the coolest celebrity to have ever lived, ever.

I owe a bunch of people comments and replies and for that I'm truly sorry. I haven't forgotten about you, promise, I just really have no life to speak of at present. :D

And now the favor I referred to in the subject header... submissions for the KiScon zine are due on Sunday and because I've been so insanely busy with work, I, uh, only wrote my submission last night (and pulled a really late nighter to do it). The good news, hey, I wrote something, the bad news, I have a little less than two days to get it beta'd, edited and submitted. I swear I'm not normally this much of a flake, but is there anyone who is willing to speed beta for me? On the plus side the story is only 2.5k, on the con side, I speed wrote it at 'way too late and/or early - depending how you look at it - to be cognizant am' thus I'm not promising coherency or even English (i.e. the story is probably closer to gobbledegook). Puh-lease?! You will have my eternal gratitude as well as my undying love and devotion. We're talking Dread Pirate Roberts "As you wish" level type devotion, here.

And now, can anyone tell me what else it is I've missed this week? :D

Did the Avengers Friday night...

It was awesome. Really, really enjoyable. I wouldn't mind going to see it again. :D

It had that Whedon special brand of smart,savvy sarcasm tempered with obvious character affection that he does SO WELL (miss Buffy, yes I do *sniff*). I wont give away spoilers or anything but I will say this, I went in expecting to enjoy Iron Man the most, as you do, but I have to say, the Hulk really stole the show. Okay, so maybe I'll give away one little, itty, bitty spoiler.

Just got home an hour ago and have to report to work in eight hours, but since sleeping is for people with far too much time on their hands *pfft*, here's a deep thought brought to you by the wonderful Simon Pegg.... ;)


Simon Pegg ‏ @simonpegg

I just realised, having initiated a new timeline, at some point in the future we're going to have to go back and get the whales again.


That revelation followed the pic he posted of what he's been doing between takes on the set of ST12 while in his trailer:

... and their little bromance. On twitter today:

On a related but unrelated note, just how cool would this have been?


And lastly, though the day nearly over, happy: Easter, Celtic celebration of fertility, Passover, or just general beautiful spring Sunday to each and every one of you on my flist. You are cherished *hugs*.

One more article from the RSS feed before I pass-out for the night (so sleepy). An interview with our beloved Captain Kirk, 1.0.

Here be the link.

Excerpt:

Shatner played Capt. James T. Kirk in the NBC television series and in seven films of the franchise.

"It was so successful and had such importance on this culture that continues to this day. I owe my celebrity to that."

CNN wrote an article on fan fiction, it's not nearly as in-depth nor as well written as the "Times" article from some months before, and it focuses mainly on a Twilight fanfic writer who I guess is getting a movie made from her work? Good for her! That's kind of awesome (and I say this as someone who has no interest in "Twilight" whatsoever because the relationship dynamics in that series hit on every single one of my DO NOT WANT tropes, but I do think it's really cool that this fanfic writer 'broke on through to the other side', to coin a phrase ;)). But the article did give a shout-out to Star Trek and Kirk/Spock - beautiful, wonderful ship that it is (shipper bias? I know not of that which you speak. O:-) ).

Here be the link.

Excerpt:

Coppa added, "The wonderful thing about fandom is that you realize you're not alone."

So this guy at the "New York Times" has opinions about adults reading books written for young adults.

To him I say this: you should spend less time worrying about what people are reading and more time concerned that hardly anyone is reading at all (and those that do should be applauded, not made to feel embarrassed for their choices, you unmitigated douche).

As you can probably tell, this article got me a bit fired up. ;)

I remember when the novel "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was released people were positively shocked that a book had a higher opening weekend then the blockbuster movie at the time... and that I find just sad. Not that HP out sold the movies, oh no, that made me ecstatic, but that people were so shocked that it did.

So Brent Spiner thinks that TNG is next in line to be Rebooted, given the success of JJ Abrams stab at it. No, serious, totally not joking, he had this to say about the topic (from trekmovie.com)...

I don’t know any twenty-something actors [laughs]. I do think it is likely they will reboot Next Generation some day. I don’t see Star Trek ever ending.

So I thought, hey, let's have some fun and cast this mamma. :D

I vote James McAvoy as a young Picard, who's with me? (<- unoriginal, I know, couldn't resist. :D)

Your list of characters:

Jean-Luc Picard
William Riker
Data
Geordi La Forge
Worf
Beverly Crusher
Deanna Troi

Bonus Points: Q, Tasha Yar, Laxwana Troi, Ro Laren (will just skip right over Wesley Crusher, the Martiest Stu of all Marty Stus ever)

And now something to make you smile...
