Layouts, fic edits and K/S for everyone!

New Layout! Anyone think the header's too tall? I can't crop it anymore, though. Grrr. Have some alternatives, both AOS and TOS. Maybe I'll rotate? This is a slightly modified version of a layout by sireesanwar. The header image is one I've had on my HD for forever. Can't remember if it's a promotional piece, maybe? Don't think it's a fanwork, but if anyone recognizes it, please lemme know so I can ask permission.

K/S day was uberfun. Thanks to T'Lara for spending hours fighting with youtube to bring us all those rockin' fan vids. The drinking game kicked my ass. But it was an enjoyable ass-kicking.

Spent this morning going over old chapters of Kataomoi doing an re-edit. I'm hoping that after I finish the re-edit I can inspire myself to actually work towards finishing it. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy writing Ed. All fire-breathing and bluster and profanity with an insecure squishy center.

I liked Scotty and McCoy, mostly because they start out as full-fledged characters not extras that the producer didn't want to pay for. I agree about Uhura. That was sad. And they destroyed the character that made TOS unique. They destroyed Vulcan and any reason to act logical in public, killed Spock's mommie, changed his whole character, made him horny (damn, sounds like DW), changed Romulans but not in a funny way like the Klingons, make it clear it's AU by sending LN's Spock through a wormhole... I forget, does Kirk still lose his shirt?... and jump-started the AU Trek without any rules. But - and big but - because they made it clear it's AU they don't have to worry about TOS or NG or consistency; they can do whatever they want. THAT is how you reinvent a franchise but at some point the fan has to ask, why bother. Imagine an Enterprise where knowing how to throw a liar paradox is less important than birth control for the bridge.

I'm sorry I missed the rewatch. WS had one unbelievably gorgeous bunch of stuff.
