You know you love TNG when...

You mean adding any "new" Trek themed smileys, as we have quite a few.

I only made a joke of it, but if there is some strong interest in having a few emojis added, you could start a new topic on it and provide a poll to vote on them. And then once the poll closes, tally up the votes and present them to T'Bonz.

I'd have thought it would be understood that I meant in addition to the ones we already have.

Serious inquiries only, of course. I'm not about to request that the Sombrero Tribble and the Sombrero Borg be added.

 

... you hold a grudge against Shakespeare for stealing some of Picard's best quotes.

 

When you draw portraits of Picard(3)
Worf
Riker
Troi.
Just thinking of this now, OMG!
I'm sooooo weird.

 

When you're writing a fanfic about Data and it's already 30 pages long...and it's only the beginning !

When your smartphone has a specific download gallery for TNG memes.

When you dream about TNG characters and wake up in the middle of the night with great fanfic ideas !

 

I don't think it's weird ! I think it's awesome ! I love drawing my favourite fictional characters, too ! Maybe we could make some art trade ?

 

My ongoing fan fic is fencing sessions with Captain Picard! Mmmm in the gymnasium, on the holodecks, on a planet at a competition........

 

Eeerrr, everyone is free to write whatever they want, y'know
I said that because I'd like someone skilled at drawing humans to draw at least the cover illustration for my fic. I can draw animals pretty well, and cartoon-styled humans...But I'm not good with more realistic, nuanced humanoid portraits

 

Yea, my portraits are good.
I had a hard time with Worf because of his head!
What did you want drawn?
Like if there is an alien, it might be difficult to agree on what it looks like. ( if that makes sense , it doesn't probably.)

 

I would like to, but unfortunately I can't use private messages yet

BTW...You know you really love TNG (mostly Data) when it's 2 : 30 AM and.....

(Forgive me for the grammatical mistake...I was incredibly tired when I made that meme !)

 

Well, hopefully by the time you can Private Message, I'll have figured out how to even do that!

 

When after some time you go back to watch few episodes of TNG and you get that familiar warm feeling like you are at home.
Or maybe when you are considering growing the Riker Beard.

 

When you are excited you are not considered a newbie anymore on that forum so you can finally get an avatar of your fav character

When you order TNG novels from the other side of the Atlantic ocean and make the effort to read them in English, despite the fact it's not your native language !

When you bookmark a Star Trek episodes transcripts website, so you can access the script anytime for further reference !

When you know the episodes' names in original version better than in your own language !

 

You know you love TNG when...

It inspires you to write poetry combined with Fan Art!

To me, TNG is like that moment in the movie CONTACT when Ellie Arroway, witnessing a celestial light show up close, declares ...

"No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful..."

 

@ 2takesfrakes : I love what you wrote, it's beautiful ! TNG feels definitely like home, like friendship, like some sort if surreal heaven....
I love that show and its characters to pieces

....you know you love TNG when you write such things ^^

 

Your kind words are greatly appreciated, TauCygna.

TNG & You -- Perfect Together. That's what I always say!

 

You buy transparent mugs for your Earl Grey

 

Before that you have started to drink Earl Grey because that's what Picard drinks.
Before you ask, yes, I have tried it... because Picard always drinks it.
