Really...

I'm about to start working but for that, this computer needs to install various updates *palms face*waits*

So I had ample time to watch this TOS Kirk Womanizer vid. And I've got to say - I ended up being the only person voting "I see Shatner when I write Reboot Kirk" in my poll lately and I stick to it. I'm hoping for the manips to change my mind a bit but Shatner has (sorry) threedozenlevelsmoreofmanlyandhot for me than Pine has (who's gorgeous on his own rights but he's somehow a kid and not a man yet to me).

This might change after the next movie, but right now...eh. No. Especially not when writing my Draws 'verse where Kirk's been captain for years. I like my men to be grown-up men in my fic even though I love to read academy fic with young!Reboot!Kirk aka frat!Pine.

I see Shatner when I'm writing "meaningful" and Pine when I'm writing "funny". :P

I like Shatner!Kirk about 100x better, as you know. But it's much easier to write fluff and crack with Pine, it almost feels like it doesn't count.

[syredronning.livejournal.com]

Good point. And as I'm 97% of my life writing meaningful as I can't really do fluff&crack (AFAIS), I end up with Shat, sigh *G*

Damn. Now I'm seeing Shat!Kirk counseling Pine!Kirk on how to build his upper body.

LOL!

I think I had them segmented in my head... TOS is different than AOS (and what the hell does that even stand for?). I'm so new to fanfiction in Star Trek that I never even considered slash in TOS until after reading XI fics. So, as I've read a few more TOS stories, I find them blurring together in my head, although Urban's McCoy is particularly inspiring to me and Quinto's Spock just isn't Spock.

AOS = Alternate Original Series - for ASCEM the erotic trek story mailing list, we needed a three letter acronym that didn't collide with any of the existing ones but would also show the context to "alternate TOS".

Segmented would be okay, but it's hard to achieve :/ AKA I fail.

Cool icon, btw :)

[weepingnaiad.livejournal.com]

Ah, that explains it. Thank you. And I like AOS now that I know what it means.

And, yes, segmentation seems to become harder the more I reach of each. :D Probably only a matter of time until they all blur together, although I still doubt I'll be recalling AOS!Spock any time soon, well, unless it's with Uhura.

There are so many gorgeous icons out there, aren't there?

[syredronning.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, many beautiful icons *drools over your Kirk*

Okay, I may not be completely unaffected by Pine!Kirk :P

Yep, this. Reboot!Kirk is such a kid, I can't imagine middle-aged Shatner in the same position. Reboot!Kirk is too cocky, too unthinking, too confident without cause. It's that stereotypical "teenagers think they're immortal" attitude! :D

Yeah! Someone complained about Kirk being written like a frat boy in the novelization, but part of the problem is, he behaves like a teenager in the movie. Not like 25, really - only at the end, but it will need another movie to make him more of a man.
