Hello my lovely readers! Today’s post marks the second episode of season two!

Season two, as stated elsewhere, is going down the more typical Trek style of adventure, albeit still with serialization. So think less TNG and more DS9 to get an idea for the kind of stories we’re going to be telling with it. Because it’s set in the backdrop of the Dominion War, a lot of it will deal with the war in one way or another, but just like DS9 we’ll have times we step away from that.

Hello my lovely readers! Episode 10 of Phoenix is up and ready for your viewing pleasure.

I won’t lie to you: this one is long. As in over twenty thousand words long. There was no suitable place to break it into two, and to be honest I didn’t want to. I like the idea of the last episode of the season being longer than the rest. Can’t promise it’ll always turn out that way, but it works well here.

Hello my lovely viewers! Episode 9 has now been posted for your viewing pleasure.

There’s a lot to say about what sort of planning went into this, including the end results and why I used Generations the way I did, but I said all of that in the author’s notes. Instead, I’d like to dedicate this blog post to something else, something that’s been concerning me just a bit when it comes to this story.

Hello my lovely readers! Season 2’s fourth mini episode, “Sex on the Beach” is now up! We’re referencing the drink; don’t worry, this has not suddenly become an explicit fic.

Hello there, my lovely readers! Mini episode 5, the first of four, is now up.

This one was a fun little exercise in alternate perspectives, as I did not one, not two, but three perspectives here for all the sirens. As for why the alternating cutie marks for them? Well apart from making it clearer whose perspective it was, they actually have symbols I can use.

If I ever start having multiple switches for the OCs though we’ll find some way to make that clear visually as well.

The Enterprise. Arguably the main star of the Star Trek franchise, and one of the most iconic ships in sci-fi history. There have been many incarnations of this ship over the years, and I thought I'd give my own personal rankings on each one, from most favorite to least favorite. I am also including the Mirror Universe versions whenever possible.

1. USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (refit)

TL;DR: I finished watching all of Star Trek: The Original 60's Series. The 90's series is better. But the 60's one has probably left the bigger cultural impact. And I offend every Trekkie I know with uncultured opinions.

Hello my lovely readers! Season 2’s third mini episode, “You Can Lead a Horse to Water…” is now available to read.

So, let’s go into a bit of detail on this one. Spoilers to follow.

We’d intended for a while to do one on Belle and Inanna, showcasing their talents as therapists. Originally this was going to focus on an entirely different set of subjects, watching them as they went through a typical day, getting to know the characters better in that regard.

Hello my lovely readers. I know it's been a little while since you've heard from me, and not much has been said.

Well, so much for the mini-part of mini episode. This one expanded so much it was practically a regular episode all on its own! But it had to be, in order to get everyone in there, as every single one of the senior staff of the Phoenix get to show their face at one point or another.

So, while I’ve been working on STR, on the side I’ve been setting up something else Star Trek Related in a game called Space Engineers. A Project Called the Starfleet Search and Rescue Squadron. It’s going to be a series on YouTube that follows some Starfleet Officers as they essentially act like the Thunderbirds of space (bonus points to anyone who knows what Thunderbirds is.) Our goal is to create a story that highlights the bravery and hard work that emergency responders do, while still

Finally getting around to writing up my thoughts on this one. I had heard plenty of good things about it from my parents, though I had yet to see it. Finally, we rung in the new year by watching "Galaxy Quest" with dinner.

Let me see that I am not a Star Trek fan by nature. I don't have anything *against* it by any means, but I've never been particularly tempted to seek any of the shows or movies out.

Fucking great film, by the way. Never even seen Star Trek before but it was still a 10/10 for sure. It was like The Force Awakens where it had great actors, great effects, was intense and funny at the same time, and had the word Star in the main title.

Also there was a guy there who had a shirt with Spock as the Fallout Vault Boy (Pipboy) on it.

Hello my lovely readers and followers, friends and others. Been a while since I've checked in. It's time for a status update.

The question was asked, "What Pokémon are sapient?" And then that snowballed into a little creative writing exercise I used to distress on the Federation from Star Trek finding the Pokémon world and cataloging the many, many sapient creatures and intricacies in the world.

I was neer supposed to finish it or even turn it into a story, and yet the completed drafts on the Discord server say otherwise. So I guess I'm going to be cleaning it up periodically and publishing it.

Behold:

I will forever maintain that Scotty was secretly the best of the TOS crew.

Yes. Yes it is. If only for the fact that the Enterprise now employs good-looking bears for security.

Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 279: 'Here's Looking at Q'

I thought I'd give my take for the last episode of the season:
