    What if You were Shunned by Star Trek? (12/8)

    That's okay, we won't be shunned they need us to much ;) And I fully intend to have fun and soon will have some more Star Trek Fan Film news, Doctor Maura Drake, CMO USS Potemkin is about to boldly go to a new assignment. I am so excited, details in a few...

    I'd go back to making a Babylon 5 uniform and making bad fusions of Mass Effect and Babylon 5. I'm sure I could find SOMEONE to sim that.+

    I love B-5! I am in a costuming/charity group Klingon A. Group but I don't have K character yet. So, they ask me to join as my Ambassador Delenn Char. My ship chapter in KAG is Whitestar Nine. :)

    Like some others, I don't know that I'd be crushed by the news... I am not a rabid ST fan but do enjoy it. My hope is that we would ALL pick up stakes and Sim something else, because this community I AM quite fond of. We could write Jane Austen fanfic for all I care, as long as I kept in touch with these great people.

    I guess if left to my own devices, I'd go back to WoD PBEMs... But they pale in comparison to the structure and organization I find here for the most part.

    PS: This is neither an endorsement or suggestion for Jane Austen fanfic writing.

    Here is a little bit of news for everyone, changing the name to Starr Trekk, makes it kosher to continue simming with in Trek universe outline. CBS/Paramount cannot say anything to you. It is like Changing the features ever so slightly to Lady and the Tramp art or Spock art it is not 100 percent copy of those genres therefore their cc's do not bind the artist or a sex writing group. So long as you don't break their CC's you are fine. Now with re-boot alternative trek, you can still get around it but it is a little more difficult... And the rules are harsher to get round with sex standards and they will SHUT DOWN any Fan Film that attempts to use the new reboot look etc.. but again if you really -really like the new re-boot I am sure some one will find a way to get round all the CC language. I am not one of them, to much trouble to try and do.

    I am like this, I don't BEG to anyone. ;) And technically, as long as Fan things remain sex; they won't make us stop, writing dreaming creating within their Genre. They need US to much. :) I am Science fiction Fantasy fan so, if Trek kicked me out there are so many journeys I can travel, take a raft with Huck Finn, play baseball with churt rock using sawmill slats for bats.... Oh play me some Mountain music... La la la la. and I can get out house and drive up to Fort Payne, Alabama for the day and have fun in Fort Payne, DeSoto Falls park, Little River Canyon and dream up some Fan Film script plots.... Yeah lots of playgrounds for me.

    Not that it means a thing to me personally, but I once applied for a Sim-Fleet group. I filled out their detailed applications, character bios, information etc. etc. etc. Waited to hear from them, weeks went by. In that time, I did send the customary "Thank you" email card for them allowing me to fill out the applications for membership. They also wanted to see not just a sample post, but some stories from other places that I sim and or GM.

    Suffice it to say, I was a little shocked when I got a email with Glad Salutations to me and then as I read the email the words stood out almost as if they were all caps. "YOU HAVE SO MANY YEARS OF WRITING EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SIMS, YOU POSTS ARE CHAPTERS IN SOME PLACES, WE MUST DECLINE YOUR MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR SIMS AND WRITERS HAVE TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE TO BE MEMBERS IN OUR GROUP."

    At first I was disappointed. Then I just looked at the other side of the coin, it really was THEIR LOSS, not mine. ;)

    But if I did not have Star Trek in my life, I would continue with Star Wars and a lot of other Science Fiction and Fantasy.

    The Epic Moments of the Reboot Movies (11/24)

    in Poll of the Month

    Posted · Edited by Renda

    The epic use of lens flare. The epic emotional outburst of Spock for no reason that a Vulcan would actually succumb to on so regular a basis. As I would watch the new movies I actually thought that Spock was actually very emotional and tried to suppress his emotions in order not to make stupid decisions, like punching Khan for revenge while having little regard for the welfare of the Enterprise as it was plummeting to the ground. Spock is epically selfish. Kirk is an epic creap. Bones was epically underused. They epically slapped together different aspects of TOS without any explanation. They epically brought a Tribble back to life with human blood. There is so much more epic stupidity in these films I can go on and on. The writing for Trek in our group is far and above better than the garbage that is now Star Trek. I really think that the writers for future movies should really take a closer look at fan fiction for inspiration.

    :D And I thought I was critical of these films... we need to get Townson Rants™ on the podcast!

    I can't dismiss these films outright as they are entertaining, and they have brought in new fans and basically revived the franchise after Nemesis and Enterprise's failings, but I think as Marvel has shown, respecting the source material and making blockbusters is not mutually exclusive.

    It will certainly be interesting to compare and contrast Mr. Abrams's approach to Episode VII with how he approached Trek since he admits to being more a fan of Star Wars (and as some have noted, took a lot of inspiration from that franchise for his vision of Trek):

    Technically, it was all JJAbs that ripped off Wars but then again, Wars ripped off Trek, how do I know. I once had a very enlightening conversation with a fellow by the name of Roddenberry Gene Roddenberry and in the conversation he made reference to how even Star Wars had elements from His Trek in it. And since Trek shot first lol.... Literally it did shoot -film first, and Lucas is a fan of Trek and Gene, well the rest is as they say film history.

    As for the re-boot it is an Alternate Universe for which I am glad, because it would have been sad to see TOS History mucke up. And lens flares Oi oi I had a headache for a week after watching both reboot movies. They are entertaining, and they are a alternate timeline.

    So, I just eat my popcorn and watch them.

    Now back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. I have some galaxies to explore.

    The reboot Treks are okay, when I saw who was going to be in the chair commanding the filming (JJ), I knew it was going to be a reboot into a cross between Mirrorish to Star Wars ish, etc. I think in my humble opinion using the brewery for the Warp engines was comical. I actually chuckled in the theatre when I saw that. Scotty's Delta Vegan buddy is cool.

    It is what it is, a very much de-viated alternate reality...

    Personally, what TOS-TOSM taught us is that no matter how far off this Blue marble third marble from Sol, we travel

    from, there will always be those elements that do not learn from the past, therefore they are doomed to repeat it;

    and that is when heros have to use extraordinary measures to save the universe from itself, that and that the
