A Good Day

For my fic Terrhaha

A little Romulan girl who just walked out of the gift shop at the Ki Baratan Zoo on Romulus. The Terran wildlife exhibits are her favorite, so she begged her parents to get her a stuffed animal of Henry the crocodile, a Zion the tiger bracelet, and a balloon of one of the stegosaurs from the paleontology hologram exhibit. Now, she’s asking her dad if she can have an osol twist.

In my fiction “An Archive Of His Own,” Sauron discovers that he is a fictional character in e-books written by JRR Tolkien. When he discovers Sauron fan fiction on AO3, he begins to write his own fanfic. The current story describes fictional Sauron working on the outline of a multi-chapter fan fiction story, set in the Star Trek universe. His fan fiction satisfies his needs for a self-insert Sauron as the wily protagonist, for his protagonist having sex with gorgeous and/or hated people (Arondir, Adar, and Lúthien), and the protagonist’s evil plan succeeding. Sauron’s love of cats is explained, and he praises fan fiction in which Sauron turns into a cat. Sauron’s previous popular fan fiction about Sauron’s evil kittens vs. Professor McGonagall’s good kittens is described. There is zero actual smut, just descriptive notes in Sauron’s outline about smut chapters.

"An Undisclosed Mission"

Lieutenant Zwei Uh’Beeahn sighed. It had only been two hours since they'd taken the shuttle from DS9 into the Gamma Quadrant to escort the Cardassian Adjunct Ambassador to meet with the Wadi and already the arguments had started.

Lieutenant Poq D'ghorgas leaned towards him, his hands on the flight controls. "'Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk' am I right?" Smirked the Klingon. The Betazed chuckled. "More like 'Achilles and Patroclus at Troy,'" he replied as they both started laughing.

"And another thing! Just because we were both adopted makes us nothing alike!" Shouted Lieutenant Te'yera's, her cheeks bright blue with rage.

"What are you talking about! We both grew up in vastly different cultures due to wars!" Replied the now green cheeked Ambassador. Zwei turned his chair around and sighed. He had thought an Andorian rasied by Bajorans was strange but he'd had to shelve that thought when he'd first met the "Cardassian" Adjunct Ambassador to the Federation, a Romulan war orphan raised on Cardassia Prime.

"Please. For all of our sanity can we maybe put a pin in this... 'discussion' until our return trip?" Te'yera and Chol glared at him but took a breath and sat back in their seats.

"As long as the lieutenant stops playing debate... games with me. I will agree to be silent," replied the Adjunct Ambassador.

"No one's playing games with you," replied Lieutenant Te'yera.

"Yeah," said Poq, "Save that for the Wadi!" He shrieked before cackling like a Hyena. The two in the back looked angrier than when they were arguing as they shot the Klingon a glare. Zwei gritted his teeth in a grimaced smile as he tried desperately to stifle his laughter. He quickly swung his chair back and leaned in towards Poq.

"Shut up! Shut up! You can't say that! Stop!" He said as he shook with laughter next to the cackling Lieutenant.

Maybe I’m just missing an obvious detail because I’m not from America but I thought Picard season 3 was the only good one? The first 2 seasons felt like bland slop that you could watch hundreds of hours of from any American network but the third at least felt like they were using Picard as a captain rather than a mouthpiece for the writers. I remember watching the original series when I was younger and the show under Alex Kurtzman felt like it had such a distain for the original I found it almost petty

(1) I am not American.

(2) I've already expressed my opinion in a great deal of detail in a great many places, but basically it boils down to this: When I think about TNG and what I liked from it, I don't just think about the characters. I think about the moral dilemmas; about the social commentary; about the thought-provoking science fiction concepts; about the contemplation of the human condition. The first two seasons, for all of their flaws--and I agree, they had flaws in absolute spades--offered all of these things. The third season, by and large, did not. It was an action movie, complete with quips, morally weightless violence, and a plot that was resolved simply by killing the bad guys. And you know what, I did enjoy seeing the old crew again; I grew up with TNG, I was literally obsessed with it for my entire childhood. I had comic books and action figures of the entire crew. But it all just felt so hollow.

And you say that the first two seasons felt disdainful. I entirely disagree. But I absolutely think that the third season was completely disdainful of the first and second. 80% of the original cast was pushed out and never even mentioned, not even when they were plot relevant. Data comes back to life and no one tells him that he has a daughter; that there's now an entire planet of Soong-type androids and he's no longer alone in the universe. The Borg come back and no one even mentions Jurati, who spent the entire second season becoming a Borg Queen. Raffi learns to swordfight from Worf and never feels the need to mention that her adopted son is a Romulan swordmaster. Rios's ship, La Sirena, is just casually dumped somewhere after the fifth episode, presumably alongside his chorus of holograms; the script can't be arsed to tell us what became of it. Laris tells Picard in the second scene of the first episode of the season that she will be waiting for him at some café. She's never seen or even mentioned again. Disdainful? The third season is positively contemptuous of the first two, of their characters, and of all of us fans who liked them.

Anyways, that's why I don't like it. Hope that helps.

Hello! Just wanted to start by telling you how wonderful you are, and how much my Discord Vulcan/Romulan Fan Servers adore your work and contribution to Trek. I started this conversation with them, and thought, it's a shot in the dark, but why not ask Diane? It does require a little handwaving at ancient timelines, but...

Have you ever thought that a possible in universe explanation for the similarities in names and governmental structure of Romulans and the ancient Romans could be that one or two of the ships that left Vulcan 2,000+ years before got lost and ended up on Earth? and that by the Dominion war era... some 15-ish percent of humans have a tiny amount (1-3%) of Romulan genetic markers?

No one realizes it's there, because no one's ever looked for it? Or if anyone did figure it out, it was hushed up by Starfleet Intelligence?

Hi there!

First of all: thanks for the nice words! It's always good to hear when people are enjoying my work.

Now as regards this premise: ...It's an interesting one, but not one I'd feel able to sell. You (correctly) point out that there would be too much timeline-oriented slashing around with Occam's Razor needed to make it even start working. Additionally, in at least one of my books, I manage to sell a single Vulcan/human genetic blend only by invoking the most complex medical support technology Vulcan has to offer. Therefore from my POV, the likelihood of castaway Vulcans winding up on Earth 2K years before the Trek "modern" period and successfully hybridizing with another non-Vulcan species unfortunately falls somewhere between "not the slightest chance" and "sorry, NOPE"... while also pushing the concept straight out of science fiction and into fantasy. And though I walk that side of the road too (and repeatedly!), I don't do it with Trek. :)

Also: having written a whole group of books based on the concept that the congruence of Roman/"Romulan" names and cultural tropes is nothing more than a combination of serious misunderstandings and a very old clerical error, I'd have to suggest I'm the wrong person to be trying to justify such a premise in the first place.

So: no, that's a set of concepts that wouldn't have occurred to me. Unquestionably, very creative: but not a road I'd walk.

In any case, it's kind of you to inquire! So thanks for that, and give the Discord-based crowd my best.

(...This, though, is also a good time to remind people that I really shouldn't be seeing prompts or idea pitches for any of the universes where I work—as seeing them more or less guarantees I can never use them, for fear of adverse legal exposure. This is why we have the very useful "not you DD" tag for posts about such issues in the Young Wizards universe. So thanks, all, for your consideration.)

The Price of the Phoenix (Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath, 1977)

3/5 stars (1/5 for quality, 5/5 for enjoyment)

This book is the equivalent of raw cookie dough. You’re not reading this for the careful prose or the well-thought-out plot, you’re reading this for the pure schlock-y goodness.

I absolutely could not get enough of this book, but I had to take plenty of breaks to just stare at the wall and try and compartmentalize the stupidity of what I’d read. It’s amazing. It’s bad for your brain. It’s The Price of the Phoenix.

I think the main problem here is the authors’ connection to fandom... The writing style reads very much like the purple prose popularized in early fan fiction, oftentimes making parts of the text incomprehensible. Everyone’s a bit out of character (mostly Spock, who more resembles his future counterpart in the AOS movies), but thankfully the heart’s still there. These two could definitely have used another editor, though -- this thing is riddled with typos and run-on/fragment sentences.

If you can get past the hammy writing, you’re going to have a great time. It’s got Spirk, it’s got Kirk(s) in various slutty outfits (he is basically a Barbie doll at times), it’s got the Romulan Commander - who is now one of my favorite characters ever, and it’s got a camp villain who keeps moving the goalposts every time he doesn’t get his way. Yeah, it’s basically the Star Trek version of a pulp novel, but don’t you deserve a guilty pleasure read every now and then?

Hi :) do you know some Star Trek books you could recommend? I've heard some of them aren't great so I was a little hesitant to go through all of them

I DO have Trek book recs! I imagine you're asking for novels &co. and not, for example, titles like “The Fifty-Year Mission” or “The DS9 Companion” which are non-fiction books concerned with the production of the shows (but in any case the two I've cited are my favorites and I think especially the first one is a clear recommendation for any Trekkie). Also caveat that... I've not read that many novels either because, like you, I'm kinda skittish about wading through them all, especially after I've encountered a few really terrible ones.

Anyway here goes, divided in in 'Novels', 'Things that aren't novels but I recommend anyway' and a few titles on my TBR list that sound good and I feel confident suggesting even if I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

Novels

The Lives of Dax (short story anthology, 1999) This is unquestionably still my favorite fiction tie-in for the Trek universe. Not all stories are good (Emony's and Curzon's are especially bad) but the ones I like are truly outstanding to me and inform my understanding of the Dax hosts to this day. I love the fact that it's framed as Ezri remembering various events of her previous lives. It's an easy read, given the format, and if you're willing to be patient with some stories the other ones will totally deliver, imho!

Catalyst of Sorrows by Margaret Wander Bonanno (2004) This book is part of 'The Lost Era' series, which tried to fill in the gap between the TOS movies and TNG. This one in particular is wild; main cast includes Uhura, Crusher, Sisko and Tuvok (the latter two going on a road trip!) and it's also a fairly deep dive into Romulan society written by someone who was obviously a DS9 fan. This was recommended to me many years ago by @senyorspock and if you like Senator Cretak from S7 of DS9 this is definitely a book you want to read.

Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume Two (anthology, 2005) I have mixed feelings about some of the directions taken by the two novels in this book but I think they're ultimately both enjoyable and contain some fun and poignant elements (the scene where Ezri visits Jadzia's grave on Trill is permanently engraved in my brain). If you like Trills and the Sisko family I definitely recommend this book.

Hollow Men by Una McCormack (2005) This novel is a fun follow-up to "In The Pale Moonlight" and while it is a little too concerned with sympathizing with poor little meow meow Garak for my taste (I realize here my opinion differs from most other DS9 fans) I still liked for its explorations of Benjamin Sisko's state of mind at the height of the Dominion War. Also I ugly laughed at every scene Sisko and Garak have together, I do enjoy when they butt heads but still need each other... it is a well-written book!

String Theory - Cohesion by Jeffrey Lang (2005) Unlike the others this is strictly a Voyager novel, set in the Delta Quadrant. This book gets... a little bogged down by its own cleverness sometimes but the author was clearly concerned with science and world-building making sense, which I can't argue against. But you're not here for this: the best part of the book is B'Elanna and Seven getting stranded on the surface of a planet and being forced to form a 'collective of two' in order to survive. It goes as well as you can expect (yes they absolutely still manage to fight even when telepathically linked), and it is amazing. I don't always agree with their characterization here but this novel is, to me, the episode with a B'Elanna&Seven B-plot that we never got on the show. (This book is also the first of a trilogy but I found the second one unreadable and I hear the third completely ditches the themes established by the first two, so.)

Spock's World by Diane Duane (1988) This novel is a classic for a reason. I wholeheartedly recommend it even if a lot of the Vulcan world-building & characterization in it isn't strictly canon anymore. I love the way it alternates between the present and the past of Vulcan, and the Enterprise. The history of the planet is told through episodes but they are so effective in explaining why Vulcans are the way they are. If you've never read a Trek novel before and you love TOS, definitely start here.

I have a soft spot for the novelizations of Star Trek II, III, and IV by Vonda McIntyre, which contain some amazing backstory for Saavik and how she came to be Spock's protégée, as well as generally offering interesting characterization for side characters that the movies had no time to explore. Not all of it is still canon, given that they were written in the early eighties, but it's not a deal-breaker to me.

Things that aren't novels but I recommend anyway

Star Trek: Waypoint (Issues 1-6, which you can find in a single volume), Waypoint special and Waypoint special (2019). These are the BEST Trek comics, period. It's all short stories about the cast of the shows up to Enterprise, and the quality is amazingly high, consistently so. I'm not a big comic person and yet these get to me every time.

Hidden Universe Travel Guide: Vulcan (2016) and The Klingon Empire (2017), both by Dayton Ward. Okay I just... love the concept of these lol. They're travel guides! For Vulcan and the Klingon Empire! Neither takes itself too seriously (there are chapters such as 'So You Want To Purge All Of Your Emotions') but it's a nice riff on the Trek universe, and they're beautifully illustrated. Characters from all shows will occasionally chime in suggest their favorite places to visit, too, which was a pleasant surprise. For someone like me who has trouble coming up with world-building stuff on my own, both books have been giving me plenty of inspiration (of course I don't always agree with the way things are framed but hey, I didn't expect them to be perfect!)

In my TBR list

Dark Passions Vol 1 and 2 by Susan Wright. Wright wrote one of my fave stories from “The Lives of Dax” and these two novels sound absolutely wild, I can't wait to read about all the mirror versions of the Voyager characters

Time's Enemy by L. A. Graf. This collective of writers wrote arguably the best story in “The Lives of Dax” and they seem to share many of my sensibilities when it comes to writing these characters so I've been meaning to read this DS9 novel for a while!

The Rihannsu novels by Diane Duane, which are THE Romulan novels par excellence, I believe, but I still haven't gotten around to reading them somehow

Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume Three simply because I just found a paperback of it recently, and it sounds interesting

#trek novels #askbox #thank you for the question i always enjoy talking about trek novels #i have read many more than these but the others i really didn't like so #anyway check the replies for other suggestions!

[lightningarmour]

spent a lot of time today thinking about what is basically star trek fan fiction about a theoretical new star trek show that didn't suck ass.

mostly coming up with a fun character dynamic between what would be the first Romulan starfleet officer, and the ship's holographic counsellor.

She is suspicious that the Counsellor is being used to spy on her and it's reporting her psyche profile to Starfleet or something and the Counsellor is like "oh boy this lady has a lot of issues, god damn."

I might write some incredibly long and self indulgent post about it sometime.

😂 naaaaah the anon couldn’t possibly be me 😶 also I LOVE both Talok (ST:ENT) x Reader stories you did! I hope this is how you meant to write it (sorry if I’m wrong) but I’m considering the second one with him thinking about how he wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the reader for real while under cover as a prequel to the one where the reader finds out he is a romulan when he has to escape. I love the idea and now the one episode character I never paid much attention to is a new favorite Star Trek character of mine 😂🤣

Either way I Love the way you write Talok’s characters and both stories!!!💙💙💙💙💙

Thanks A lot Bestie 😂 I’m once again apart of the little known gremlin background character fan club and the lack of further content in both fan fiction and Star Trek canon is disturbing…waaait (sorry in advance😂)

*Darth Vader voice* “I Find the Lack of Talok content Disturbing”

I'm so glad someone else got that vibe! Honestly, I didn't even realize how much it sounded like a prequel until I was editing it. I may not have marked it officially as a prequel to "Playing At Pon Farr" but it definitely feels like one to me. So for anyone who wants to read it that way, go right ahead! I've been contemplating marking those two stories as related since I posted "Raindrops On Roses."

Thank you so much for your kind words as well, my friend!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Welcome to side character hell! There's very little content, but we have cookies! 🍪 I agree, though, we need more Talok content.

In the film 'Star Trek', which planet is destroyed when Nero creates an artificial black hole in its core?

In the 2009 film 'Star Trek', the destruction of the planet Vulcan took place after the Romulan Nero drilled into the planet's core, where he detonated red matter to create a black hole, causing the planet to implode. The planet had a population of six billion when it was attacked and was once the homeworld of the Vulcan species.

Nero was a miner from the planet Romulus, which had previously been destroyed. He sought vengeance against those he felt were responsible for the destruction, ultimately resulting in his destruction of the planet Vulcan. Nero also tried to destroy Earth but was prevented by James T. Kirk.

'Star Trek' is a science fiction film based on the original 'Star Trek' television series from the 1960s. The story focuses on the characters of the original series as they meet and assemble for the first time on the USS Enterprise. Nero has been transported back in time and the crew must prevent Nero from causing extensive destruction.

Nero was played by Eric Bana (born 1968), who was a fan of the original series as a child. After reading the script for the film, he could not resist being part of the production and accepted the role of the villain. Due to the amount of make-up the character needed, many people did not realise that Bana was the actor.

I hope to hell the extras and blooper reel of Picard season 1 are worth it. And I hope it gets better in season 2 because so far it's like fan fiction but like here's the list of all my friends I have to insert and all the ideas they want and if I don't give enough shout outs people will be mad and I don't want to hurt their feelings ~whatever noise the kids are making these days~

Really, it could have been rearranged to be more episodic with tighter pacing and. The android storyline could have faintly over-arched but 3 episodes at most- set up, rescue, stuff on the planet. Even with the Romulan parts but not the bearded guy just the other part.

Then Seven, pilot woman, Romulan Lord of the Rings, Hugh, each could have got a solid episode I could have skipped over.

Seriously, Checkov's Cast ex Machina, every supporting cast member is only there for a specific purpose to drive a specific plot point forward or resolve something, fortune cookies or Agnes Nutter's book could have done the same. Q could have left post-its. Bruce Maddox could have left a scavenger hunt behind.

~something I want to yell at 'it's so aesthetically cute mood boards and videos' people about~

I can't tell any more if it's sinus allergies or what.

Trying to pull together a story where Data is sent undercover to do something that the average human would have to spend years training to do and he stands out because while he can physically do it he lacks the emotional drive and others trying to help him with that becomes a plot point and they just think he has autism.

Trying to pull my brain together to do just about anything but PMS says no. I'm pointing a broom at it telling it to get on with things and don't pull menopause bullshit with me but this is a great time for that so of course it will.

Did a bit or arting yesterday and not finishing and throwing that away which is an important part of arting.
