Another Star Trek fan film is being shut down
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf replied to Nadeshiko's topic in Trek Discussion
Incredibly unfortunate that Paramount isn't taking a more progressive stance with this. They're in a very unique position in that I can't remember another instance where a franchise had professionally produced fan-films that threatened that canon, but now is the time to consider the situation and -- instead of throwing lawyers at it -- figure out how you can harness all this volunteer work for the good of the franchise generally. -

Perhaps as a result of the events in Star Trek VI?

I'm getting into the habit of recapping the work our Community News team has done for the previous month, for the sake of showing everyone how awesome our team members are, and I figured that perhaps I should post here on the forums instead of just to our team email list! So for month of March, I want to recognize the following: First posts! Lt. Trellis Vondaryan submitted an article about the Awards Ceremony moving to June AND a Writer's Workshop; First post! Ens. Paul Scudder submitted an interview with Cmdr. Taybrim; First post! LtCmdr. Kalos Fiorr submitted a feature about a new Star Trek game; Cmdr. Blair submitted the monthly apps & grads article, and two Featured Bio Contest reminders; Cmdr. Taybrim submitted a feature on the Top Sims Contest, and two chat reminders; Lt. Cmdr. DeVeau, our interview queen, submitted an interview with Cmdr. Blair about his work on the Academy Training team; Capt. Faranfey submitted the monthly post totals; Capt. Rajel submitted the Graphics Contest reminder post; Cmdr. Cody submitted the Writing Challenge reminder; Capt. Renos submitted the Publicity Team article. Thanks to each and every one of you for all your hard work. It is greatly appreciated!

Top Sims Contest Discussion
Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf replied to Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf's topic in 2017
New Top Sims facilitator: LtCmdr. Maxwell Traenor of the Darwin! Many thanks to him for volunteering for the position, and congratulations on this new leadership role. Just as a reminder to everyone, the facilitator doesn't actually vote in any way -- so your ship judges continue to do all the judging after sims are submitted -
Okay wait, I'm confused. Has a porn parody of "Batman V Superman" already been made? Where did this image below come from? Because all I could think when I saw it was "NOW KISS!"

SO EXCITED! Just bought my Gold Seat tickets to the Star Trek convention in San Francisco celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Trek! Looking forward to coming home with my Shatner autograph!

What I find super interesting about this is that HRC is /usually/ accused of being a captured entity of the DNC. Anyone remember when they endorsed Obama like a year before the election in 2011 and we all complained they hadn't even extracted any promises from him (AFAWK)?
I understand their calculous here -- Kirk is a pro-marriage GOP senator. Duckworth is a challenger. I'm SURE the HRC made promises to Kirk that they would defend him against challengers if he came out in favor of marriage.
So it's a weird situation for HRC to be in. Having an ambassador inside the GOP is more valuable to the HRC than having another pro-gay Dem in a party that may be in the minority in the Senate anyway come next year. And if they DID make promises to Kirk, and then they break them to support Duckworth, it makes it that much harder to get GOP legislators on board with future legislation.
This is why we still need a radical LGBT digital organization; one that's smart and savvy and has enough of an email list to help Duckworth regardless. Because even if HRC has to bite the bullet and do their duty to Kirk, that doesn't mean the rest of the community has to. The rest of the community can make sure that Duckworth wins anyway. Too bad most LGBT people think the fight is over and have forgotten why organizing as a community is important. -
Remember this? Hank Hedland and I were brought to tears by it again last night.
