Hehe, I totally agree with Belle... I better not tell you my age difference with my hubby, crohnie, at least not until you take a seat Although it's totally natural for him and me. Tachyon, I have missed your last awesome fiddle. What a wicked fantasy you have to use such a pic!
I just finished reading one of my favorite fanfics which I thought I would share. Feel free to post any of YOUR favorites - I'm always looking for new ones to read. http://www.geocities.com/elizabeth_barr/25days.htm
Thanks for the link kimc. I'm gonna check the fic out as soon as I find some energy and patience to sit down and read.
All J/Cers should definitely get on Amazon and read the first pages of Full Circle. And I mean now or ASAP - you pick which one! EDIT// http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Voyager-Full-Circle/dp/1416594965
Didn't you find that to be heartbreaking? It's exactly what I thought would happen in that book. We'll get everything we've always wanted, but it will end in heartbreak.
No! Not at all. In fact, I'm super excited! Why would my heart break when I know she's gonna die? If anything, those few pages hinted that something had happened year before that Venice setting between J/C and I am definitely looking forward to know what it is. I also have a hunch that the lost of Janeway and how the crew is going to feel about it is going to be beautifully written. This book will sell like hot cakes.
Well, I'm glad your happy about it then. It's just not my thing. I knew there would be a lot of J/C in it and I suspected it even more when Kirsten Beyer recommended reading Isabo's Shirt prior to Full Circle, but it still bothers me.
Excuse me for being rude but shouldn't all fans of Janeway boycott that book? After all, it does confirm the annihilation of the character.
I'm not as big a Voyager fan as some. I felt it squandered too many opportunities. But something I loved about the early seasons of the show was the Janeway / Chakotay relationship. It sparked from the beginning. And it continued to spark long after the writers seemed to do everything in their power to kill it. That's one of my big complaints; Voyager contradicts itself. For fans with a fairly good memory it's extremely annoying. And it pains me that the J/C relationship, which was written (and performed) so well throughout the early episodes, was jettisoned...only to be replaced in the final episodes by the disturbing Chakotay / Seven "relationship". I know it's not logical, per say, but the writers portrayed J/C as the parents of the crew - and then they definitely portrayed Janeway as a mother figure to Seven - so I just got this horrible incest vibe from C/7 - and it felt like a betrayal of Janeway by both C & 7. Which is odd to me, because I've read some hot J/7 stories in which I don't experience that at all. lol
I've said before (and will again) that the subtlety and non-consummation of J/C is what made it work and made it interesting, because of all the command chain stuff I've mentioned before. And C/7 still sucks.
