Trek Fic Archives

it takes. a lot of time to put these posts together and get them all queued up for you guys and it’s not very fun. lots of repetitive tasks and formatting posts and i’m just sick of dealing with this right now.

i’ll definitely come back to this project in the future; hopefully with some or all of it automated. any progress on the automation will be posted on ficlovingbot (there’s nothing there right now, but there probably will be in the near future).

As we sit on the cusp of changes to the Internet, after your other activities to support Internet freedom, archive your fandom stuff.

Save the electronic files of your favorite online fandom works. Consider print-outs of your favorite online material. And save paper ephemera from fandom events.

Why save? Because you put the effort into a fanwork. Because you may be surprised when a fandom stays alive for years, or gets revived, or when an academic asks to cite your work. Because it’s stupidly hard to find items on Tumblr. Because, lo, in ages past, many fandom archives have risen and fallen, taking favorite fics off the ‘Net. Because it made you happy, makes you remember. Because you never know.

What can you save?

Fanart

Stories you wrote

Epic comments on stories you wrote

Stories you love that other people wrote

Meta and meta-related discussions

Translations others did of your works

Physical items: paper ephemera, clothing, accessories, art prints and drawings.

Behind the cut…saving from Tumblr and AO3, delving into lost web sites, how to save computer files for the long term, and why I’m glad I saved physical fandom items from 10+ years ago.

0k, Voyager, Paris/Kim

Author’s Summary: In the early days of VOYAGER’s journey in the Delta Quadrant, Tom Paris records his thoughts about their predicament.

This particular story was on Geocities.  It was part of the Ensign Fuh-Q Fest.  Which I’d forgotten about, until I saw this post.  (Some of the stories linked from that page are NSFW.)

What was a Fuh-Q Fest, you ask?  Kind of a fanfic challenge.  They’d pick a character, and pair him or her with a multitude of other characters.  If you signed up to participate, you had no way of knowing what pairing you’d end up with.  For example, the first one I remember was the Spock Fuh-Q Fest.  (The cutesy spelling is because expletives were blocked from the names/URLs of the free mailing lists and web sites that were the heart of fandom at the time.)  Spock was paired with a variety of characters, and you were assigned one randomly.  If you really didn’t like your assigned pairing, you could trade with someone else.  (”Help!  I got Spock/Janeway, and I haven’t seen Voyager.  Wanna trade?”)  The resulting stories were posted to a web site on Geocities.

The Ensign Fuh-Q Fest was unusual in that it was centered around two characters, rather than one.  You could pair your assigned character with either Pavel Chekov or Harry Kim.

Hybrid Theme by Tukut

Code | Features (under the cut) | Static preview

I was super inspired when the new tumblr mobile layout came out so I made a theme that adapts to how you change your mobile theme! Add a header, it shows up on this theme. Change your avatar shape, and it changes on this theme. If you can’t get to your computer, you can customize most of this theme through mobile! It’s super neat, has loads of customize options, and I’m really proud of it. Hope you all enjoy!

What is Star Trek Secret Santa?

Star Trek Secret Santa is an anonymous fanworks exchange for the Star Trek universe. Eligible fandoms are The Original Series, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and The Alternate Original Series.

All types of fanworks are welcome.

How does it work?

When you sign up you make three requests. They can be from any fandom above or crossovers between those fandoms. I do ask that the requests be kept relatively simple. (ex. chapel/uhura fluff, julian bashir and kukalaka, voyager crew in the mirrorverse) If you are making a request featuring any tos/aos characters please specify if you want them in the tos or aos verse. 

Once signups end, I will send you the url of the person you are making a fanwork for, and their requests. You will have the entire month of December to fill one of their requests. This is an anonymous exchange so if you have any questions for your recipient please either ask them on anon, or contact me and I will relay the question to them. Also please have your ask box opened, either I or your gift giver may need to contact you.

On the signup form it asks if you are willing to be a pinch hitter. If people need to drop out for any reason pinch hitters will be assigned to make an extra fanwork. If you agree to be a pinch hitter, I will make a extra gift for you.

If you need to drop out or are going to be late with your gift please let me know ASAP. If you do not make an gift without informing me that you are dropping out, you will not be allowed to participate in next year’s swap.

Important Dates

November 30th - signups end at 11:59 est

December 1-2 - I will message you your recipient

December 21 - 31 - You may start to post your gifts. I will make a post with more details about posting closer to this date.
