Been thinking about this a lot since the new Harry Potter series was announced. While I honestly wouldn't mess too much with the kids themselves, a few of the adult actors in the original Harry Potter films were, I believe, miscast. Below is my fan casting for a few of the different adult...
This thread is intended for fanfic writers and artists to share fan-made or fan-edited artwork of their own starship crews! You can provide background on the ship itself, plus include backstories and histories for each character. If you want you can even share details on how you created your...

Over the course of the first ten Star Trek movies, we've only had 3 films which dealt with what I call "Force of Nature" villains or antagonists - entities...
A story I wrote 15 years ago, reconstructed, re-filmed and re-edited from the ground up.
Is it perfect? No. Is it gonna be? Probably never. I'm just happy it turned out as good as it did. Hopefully you guys will enjoy it too!
So I don't usually hear fellow Trekkies discussing "Time's Arrow, Parts I and II", and when I do it's usually given negative feedback. I personally LOVE this episode, and although I'm not sure where I'd rank it exactly, it is one of my favorite TNG episodes, which is high praise considering TNG...
So I was trying to determine what legacy ship classes are still in service in 2401, other than the Sovereign-class. I was rewatching the end credits to Picard Season 3 Episode 1, titled "The Next Generation", and stumbled upon this interesting find: if you search from timestamp 51:13 until...
So the purpose of this post is to provide a space for those who have an idea of what they think STAR WARS EPISODE VII could have been. Would have been, Should have been. You decide, and feel free to post your plot synopses below. While the sequel trilogy, much like the prequels before it, have...
I have just got done watching Star Trek: The Motion Picture (the director's cut, ironically LOL) that I had purchased digitally on Amazon Prime Video, when I was taken to a freebee streaming episode of TOS, specifically "The Cage". Here's the cool part: it said "remastered" at the top of the...
Hello fellow writers!!!
I have a short fiction story that I'd like to submit for publication in a newspaper/website/magazine, but I'm not sure where to begin my search. It's a science fiction/horror story in the vein of Lovecraftian/Eldritch horror, but I'm pretty sure Strange Tales and other...

So not only does the site above have NO actual images of the "exhibits" they are planning on showing off (one is an image of a wax museum TOS bridge display from years ago, and the TNG bridge is just stock footage from Star Trek: The Tour) but if I recall...
This is a long shot, but...
Does anyone remember this? My dad said he had a school binder when he was very little (late 60s early 70s) that had Captain Kirk on the cover holding a phaser rifle. I think I found the image used on the cover and will attempt to share it with everyone below, but did...
When visiting the Roddenberry Archive the other day, I was in Main Engineering (God, that sounds so cool to say) reading the Master Situation Monitor, and it says on deck 10 there are "restaurants". Plural. After getting past the part of the thought process where I was seriously reconsidering...

Anyone got any behind the scenes information on this? It's reputedly a screen used model. I would be very interested to know the backstory behind it. :)
For years I've wondered about this and I still don't have an answer.
In the 2006 illustrated book "Ships of the Line", each era of Star Trek ships is showcased in a chapter featuring pictures and descriptions, mostly vague, of what is happening in the images. The TOS era in this book is...
In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, both behind the scenes and in the story, the powers that be decided that the Starfleet Uniform design from TOS (the 2260s in-universe) needed to be updated. Real-world behind the scenes reasoning was probably that the simple design of the TV uniforms wouldn't...
In a classic scene from "The Way of the Warrior", Quark offers Garak a glass of Root Beer, and the two comment on it's similarities to the Federation as a whole. Simple question: in-universe, what brand of Root Beer was available at Quark's? In my experience, most dine-in or bar and grill type...
Ok so this is a bit of a long shot, but still...
In 1993, some ten years before Batman Begins was even a thing, animators Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski created what I consider to be the ultimate Batman story. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm told the story of a fully formed Batman who faces a...
Hey all! So I have recently acquired the Holy Grail of my Star Trek collection: the South Bend Enterprise toy from 1979! I'm super pumped and excited to have such a truly wonderful piece of Star Trek history! Also, I've decided to do an entire series of special visual effects tests based on just...
Here's a project I've been wanting to do just for fun. I 'refitted' my electronic Playmates TOS Enterprise to look like the "Star Trek: Phase II" Enterprise! I used cardboard and construction paper of different colors (pink for the ramscoops, black for the detailing) and I tried to get the...
So I've noticed that in fan films there are usually two distinct eras in the 23rd century that are used as the setting: either TOS era, including immediately before or after, or during what I call the "Enterprise-A years" which include Star Trek's V and VI up until Generations and even into the...
