If you want to do a really accurate Peters/Lane cosplay, just dress up as Alec and wear a hand puppet with a "Jonathan Lane" nametag.Well, no need to be screen accurate. I'd prefer if you didn't have your head up my ass. It'd be a little hard walking a convention hall if it was.
Too bad I only have two hands or I could cosplay as Alec and his multiple sock puppet accounts.
What about using finger puppets?

You're a genius. You're hired!
Or an opened minded friend who isn't afraid to get intimately acquainted with your left hand?
Before you ask, I'm really busy tomorrow, sorry....
In what may simply be a headline-grabbing move (because what news organization is going to ignore the opportunity to make fun of Trekkies cosplaying as Klingons during a slow news week?), the Language Creation Society today submitted a renewed application to file an amicus brief regarding the copyrightability of the Klingon language by CBS/Paramount.
Ya know, they could always just do what David Gerrold did: follow AP's lead and do some infringing of their own. Then they could file court docs to their hearts' content.
Lovely - because Klausner doesn't have enough minutiae to wade through.
Hey, anything that further ties libertarians to LFIM--thus helping to discredit both--is fine by me.
Weeks after excoriating plaintiffs for inadvertently releasing Axanar's financials, defense attorneys finally admit to the court that they did the same thing, and try to get the judge to keep from considering those documents. I've updated the original AxaMonitor story.
CBS/Paramount naturally want a jury to see how Alec Peters raised and spent $1.4 million, collected from StarTrek fans for a film he never produced.

This article is nothing but click-bait IMO, but the comments are mildly amusing
CBS Star Trek Discovery likely set in Four Year Klingon War in Prime Timeline and Cast is revealed

Was there anything at all in canon that confirmed a Klingon war happened but just wasn't mentioned by Kirk or Kor in Errand of Mercy? Was there anything in canon at all that confirmed the battle of Axanar involved the Klingons? I can't remember anything, but FASA planted the idea and Peters seems to have a lot of people convinced that's what happened. Especially journalists and bloggers writing about Axanar.
I keep seeing crap about how people have always wanted to see the four years war on film and Axanar was finally going to bring this iconic moment of Trek history to life... and that's just not the way I remember the world before Alec Peters.

I don't believe there was. AFAIK, Peters took that one FASA supplement and turned it into a bible.
I haven't gotten much into 'TrekLit' at all lately, but I do recall some little FASA easter eggs (mentions of class/ship names etc) making it into some of the Vanguard novels. It's not entirely inconceivable that some scribe somewhere would choose to go this route, but then again, I'm not putting much credence in anything mentioned in that article.

Off the top of my head, the Battle of Donatu V is mentioned as taking place 25 years prior to "The Trouble with Tribbles", but that doesn't necessarily mean a war took place. I don't think the Klingons are mentioned on screen in connection with Axanar. The Four Years War is definitely a FASA creation.
"Whom Gods Destroy" established that Captain Garth was involved in a war sometime before Kirk's Academy days, but the Klingons aren't mentioned. Offhand, the first time I can think of a Federation-Klingon war being specifically referenced was in the TNG episode "First Contact" when Picard says that a disastrous first contact with the Klingons led to a war.
David A. Goodman's book, The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, does contain a brief synopsis of the Battle of Axanar. It was against the Klingons in his account, although I don't recall if it was part of The Four Years War. Goodman also had Garth commanding the USS Constitution.
Sad!
