Draws series Masterpost (Pike/Kirk/McCoy plus an original female character later) - my ongoing book-size Reboot series

Bridge2Sickbay drabbles all Reboot but not linked as full stories

All my Reboot stories (on lj)

All my TOS stories (external website)

My policy on feedbacking other writers (which also says a lot about the feedback I'd like to receive)

My writing philosophy regarding style might be this by Mark Twain - I'm not always meeting his guidelines, but I'm trying.

My writing philosophy regarding content might be this: I don't want my fic to be irresponsible or hurtful. But I'm not exactly writing pieces for a public awareness campaign here, either.

My favorite Pike vids, all by

theoreticalpixy:
All Our Bows are Broken Pike&/Kirk - adore it, top favorite!
Hero of the Story Pike, Kirk, Spock - adore it, top favorite!
The 59's Song wonderful Pike Tribute, TOS/STXI
Tales of Brave Ulysses Pike/Number One - with Sexy!Bruce inside (from his movie "Republic of Love")

And finally...
Here's what I've learned about happiness: It's important to appreciate what you have, let yourself be inspired by people who have worked their way out of a particular hole, talk about your problems (talk, not whine repeatedly) and let yourself be helped and do the work. Things can and will change but not if you insist on your bad luck. (originally by illariy)

I received my KiScon 2019 goodie bag today! (mailed from Vienna, good idea)

It is lovely, and I've got to admit, a part of my would have loved to attend. Not for the K/S (though I love Kirk and Spock, just not so much together ;) but for the wonderful people, the fannish discussions, the vids, the art, the dinner rounds, speaking English, having fun.

...there's a KiSmet 2020 in the planning and maybe maybe I should consider going there...

Current Mood: happy

And it's pretty active too!

Ages ago (2997, 2009) I wrote two stand-alone stories with the premise:

"All stories start with the premise that Kirk and McCoy couldn't be saved from Rura Penthe in ST VI, the Federation President is killed and a war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire takes place. What happens to our heroes?"

Amusingly/weirldy, I posted the stories with "one of three, two of three" notices - but I absolutely cannot remember a third story, and couldn't find any notes about it either. That's what you get for being too immersed in your head space without piping it out :)

So enjoy the two stories (one is K&S&Mc, S/Mc, one is K/Mc)

Going through my material, I decided to post two metas on writing/developing/fixing long stories:

Axe it! - or not? Meta on writing and fixing long stories
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21451804

and concrete analysis for "Shadowplay"
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21350497

I cannot emphasize enough how much the feedback of my beta readers helped Draws. Especially shagungu single-handedly rescued the whole last third of the series with her feedback (and made me re-write most of it, the only problem being the resulting enormous length of it which lead to my writing burn-out).

Current Mood: chipper

Beautiful, angsty Kirk/McCoy moving towards Kirk/McCoy/Spock story (with happy ending, thankfully!)
"Rearrange"

And a "Trektober2019" collection with Kirk/McCoy, many great shorts with some scorchingly hot MU stuff insides

In a mission to save my little ficlets hinding in lj comments, I transferred a lot of them to AO3 tonight (and more will be coming, namely the bridge2sickbay drabbles).

My works at AO3:
https://archiveofourown.org/users/syredronning/works

Some are Draws-related, most aren't - and a wild mix of pairings there is :)

The most amusing thing was re-finding the Never ever fic challenge... where ppl wanted fic nobody should ever write. I had all forgotten about this, and there are some gems (if I may say so).
https://archiveofourown.org/series/1539211

Then I was very sure there had been a tiny Pike/Kirk Draws ficlet ("the tribe shoves them to have a vacation, just the two of them") somewhere, but that's the one thing I couldn't find. OTOH I found older stories where I had been so sure that they'd be on AO3 already, and they aren't (yet). Need to catch up.

... there's hoping AO3 will last for a lot longer than all other websites and archives, or fandom will take a real hit if this ever went down.

Current Mood: hopeful

So... I'm basically working double-shift because I have taken on too many projects at this very moment.

And in my spare time I read fanfiction \o/

It's sooo much better than getting lost in Twitter, the place of endless, agonizing waves of political shithattery and problemzones. 'Nuff said.

My rec of today:
"The Trouble with Spores" Michael Burnham/Christopher Pike
https://archiveofourown.org/works/21255248

Because I'm still obsessed with Pike. Though it's also a bit weird because Reboot!Pike is so very different to Discovery!Pike (it seems... I couldn't warm up to the series and only saw some episodes of season 2, solely because of Pike). But I like this guy too and wonder if there's a story that manages to combine these two Pikes, like, what happened to turn charming Captain Dimple into badass gravitas Pike?

A new reader found Draws and writes me wonderful feedback with every step (I hope she'll survive "Reset", the mindfuck zone). And it makes me think of all the little bits and pieces I never wrote down, the loose ends. It's NaNoWriMo, and maybe I could churn out some drabbles, hm?

But starting to writing is somewhat hard when you spend all day writing ... and after pausing since 2013. Damn, it's been long.

OHHHH and a goodie - this Pike/Kirk vid is still online!

We're all stunned... happily so, but also feeling with the Brasilian soccer team.

Woah.

...maybe it's good that Bob Orci directs Reboot ST III, this way at least there is angry fandom discussion again. Which is better than deadly silence ;)

...amusingly, now reading http://trekmovie.com/2014/05/13/roberto-orci-named-director-of-star-trek-3/ and this is definitely the most excitement I get over Trek since finishing my monster story. I doubt that Orci can make a good movie, but now that I'm much less invested emotionally, it's fun to read all these heated comments :)

"The Economics of Star Trek - The Proto-Post Scarcity Economy"
https://medium.com/medium-long/29bab88d50

I never could include the "Federation has no money" concept in a fanfiction because nobody was able to offer me a functional concept. But after reading this article, I think I would be able to!
