    fanfiction.net ? no stats since September 15

    I've sent a couple of emails to their support site, and have gotten nothing back. I've noticed that I am not getting review notice emails - though I have gotten some 'favorites' emails. There are rumors on line (reddit, etc) that say fanfiction.net is dead. Others say no, it's still being...

    TBBS Fanfic Recommendations

    I babysat starting at 12, so I had some disposable income. And zines were relatively cheap in the late sixties, early seventies, before offset replaced mimeo printing. A lot went for 50 cents though the postage costs often doubled the price of a package of zines. By the early 80s zines were up...

    TBBS Fanfic Recommendations

    Re the book club, I'm willing to talk about old fanfics and zines. I started collecting in the late sixties, early seventies, if I remember correctly. There was no greater thrill (certainly mid teens as I was then) to getting a bulky brown envelope in the mail, dotted with stamps, containing...

    Why was Enterprise received so poorly?

    The problem I had with Archer being "charmingly boyish" is that they set T'Pol up to sneer at the humans. Their "gee shucks" attitude and her sneering condemnation of Archer and others, smacks of Mary Sueism. Or the kind of idiotic attitude that to enhance one set of people - Vulcans, women -...

    Do you like ENT or not,why?

    Part of the reason I didn't like Enterprise was because the writers/showrunners deliberately wrote the male humans as gee shucks/dumb/ clueless/classless rubes. And T'Pol was written to have a stick up her butt, and she was rude as well, but in this case it seems as if to emphasize that she was...

    TBBS Fanfic Recommendations

    I wrote To Begin Anew in the 80s, and over the years, the discs it was stored on corrupted. Parts one and two (now on fanfiction.net) survived more or less, but parts three and four I lost the beginning and endings of chapters so it has to be not just posted but partially rewritten. The last...

    Nostalgia question: what year did you see your first TOS episode?

    1966 I was ten. I didn't get really hooked though until season two, with Journey to Babel. By the end of that season I was writing in to the network in the campaign to renew the series and buying zines

    Studying and collecting original scripts

    Not much that I remember. He circled all his lines and sometimes made a little note next to them. The script's packed away with all my Trek zines - I have twenty yard-long tubs of zines, bought in the 70s and very early eighties, packed away in my utility building, along with everything else...

    Studying and collecting original scripts

    I have an original script. Bought it at a con in 1973, it has the colored pages, draft markings, and notes and markings from Doohan. I think it was Tholian Web. I got it autographed at the con. Unfortunately it was (due to the colored pages) pretty up to date as to the filming, so there wasn't...

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    which is why I think the whole thing was a deeper plot. Why would she grab onto spock as he was transporting out - and why would the romulan ship have shields down to allow spies to transport in and out? Seems to me that there was some sort of double espionage going on.

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    Truthfully, I don't get the point of having that last exchange in the episode at all, or why it passed. Even if the third season producer and director were clueless, usually Nimoy had been pretty careful about protecting his character from the idiocy of writers. Maybe it was just meant to be...

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    He flirted with Uhura. But that was with understanding on both sides IMHO that it was nothing serious. But I can't see him lying to the Romulan Commander. He did lie when duty required it. But to lie to her? For what? To feed her a line? That's not worth blackening his ethics. Unless he...

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    Would Spock lie to her after the need for deception was over? I don't think that's in character for him. The "I hoped you and I shared something more permanent" seems to imply he may not have wanted the relationship when he walked in, that he only wanted (as he said) the cloaking device. But he...

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    What about “i hoped you and I shared something more permanent” “It was your choice” “You would not respect any other” “it will be our secret” Sounds to me like they shared some ‘feelings’

    Did Spock and nurse Chapel flirt a lot in the original series and in the animated series?

    Chapel was delusional. First she joined Starfleet to chase after Roger Corby (who couldn't get far enough away from her), When that fizzled out (pun intended, given Corby had become an android of sorts), she went for another unattainable suitor, a Vulcan. Little girls develop crushes on...

    Kirk drift—misremembering a character…

    NONSENSE. Trek WAS empowering THEN and NOW. I was a ten year old girl when TOS premiered and I grew up to run an IT department at two major national institutions when there were practically NO women in the field. Back then women couldn't be pilots. Now they get special preference. When I...

    Kirk drift—misremembering a character…

    It never descended to the kaa-kaa/poopie you smell three year old brand of humor. And Star Trek was one of the most intellectual properties of its day on TV. Even when they were forced to deliver lines like "the monster attacked me". I started watching it when I was ten, during it's first...
