Lore: “...And it seems I’m kind of the hero of this mission.” Ro: Riiight. B’Ellana: Riiight.

Lore: “Hey, my last drinking buddies were the Borg!” (in other words: See, we have SO much in common.) (it also belittles his previous actions) 😏
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
IDOL HANDS: To think that the Star Trek universe has deprived artists of drawing Lore for this long! Truly though, this is great work; I even like the coloring in this and digital coloring can often fall flat. The writing is solid thus far too - I’m taken with Spock despite being here for an old fan favorite. Otoh, Data’s “resurrection” comic (in B-4’s body), where he also interacted with Spock, was shockingly dull.
It’s interesting that the artists are keeping the android’s faded out eyes from the end of the ST:TNG television episode “Descent” (which appeared to indicate his death); suits Lore...but, how will that work once Data shows up? Do they have different eyes now? Well, I’m willing to give artistic license.
BTW, comic books in Star Trek are cannon; this is not taking place in a “beta” universe (unlike the novels and written material). Yes, that’s right, thanks to the pay-to-play, online streaming show, “Picard”, these universes have significantly diverged for the 1st time. *grumble*
However, I doubt we’d be seeing Lore in comic book fashion without that show; the Paramount franchise was equally pleased, it seems, to leave him lying on a shelf lo’ these many decades.

💛💙SPIRK FIC REC💙💛
Ok, this is one of those fics that really got under my skin, resulting in me staying up until 3am this morning to finish it! (I feel dreadful today but I really couldn’t put it down)
This is an AOS AU canon divergence and it’s an in-depth character study of Kirk that explores his childhood traumas and how they affected him throughout his life.
It’s intense and has trigger warnings so please read all the tags before you dive in because some of it is difficult to read especially early on. However, it’s a wonderful story that depicts the impact of the relationships we build, the support we receive and how we view ourselves.
The character development is fantastic and the dialogue is often so funny I would laugh out loud! Some of it is quirky with lots of pop culture references but everything is tied in and explained in line with the main story and as part of Jim’s coping mechanisms, so any OOC behaviour makes sense in context.
It’s a slow burn with a really satisfying end that ties into cannon TOS episodes and had me in tears! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🥰

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
I got this same ask from you and @nopeferatu so thank you both!
In no particular order, I think my 5 favorite fics I've written are:
The Measure of a Tit Sailor Moon oneshot, rated T Silly fluffy oneshot of the Sailor Senshi enjoying some downtime, discussing boobs and gender presentation with everyone's favorite nonbinary intersex lesbian, Haruka Tenoh (Sailor Uranus). Haruka has been my fave since I was a kid and the fic is pure self indulgent fun inspired by how her animation model changes depending on how she's dressed.
I Care, I Love You, I'm Glad The Witcher oneshot, rated T Jaskier says aro rights in song form, featuring original poetry by me! I'm really happy with how the poetry turned out and I love where Jaskier and Geralt are at in their navigation of their relationship in this one. Definitely the one I reread the most out of my canon-verse aro!Geralt fics.
What I Want Is Everything Brokeback Mountain oneshot, rated M Jack musing to himself about his relationship with Ennis while they're being intimate during one of their camping trips--one of the rare instances of me writing in first person! Damn good character study if I may say so myself, and will hit you in the feels.
Chiaroscuro Fairly long Star Trek: TOS fic, rated T Kirk and Spock stop just pining and actually get together thanks to some nonsense with Spock's parents and a couple space hobos, one of whom is also half Vulcan. The space hobos are some of my favorite ever OCs and I want everyone to know them, and I had way too much fun with Spock's family drama.
Everything Changes Pretty damn long Brokeback Mountain fic, rated T Canon-divergent happy ending fic that departs from cannon a few months before what is, in canon, Jack and Ennis's last camping trip together and what pulls us off the canon path is Junior insistently caring about her father. I have two complete Brokeback longfics on Ao3, and this is the second of them. I'm very proud of it as a story on its own and proud of how much growth I can see in my writing between it and my first one. It's Junior-centric and I love writing her, and I loved exploring her relationships to her parents, also her friends in this fic are some of my favorite OCs along with the space hobos above.

If we are the sum total of all our memories and experiences, who would we be without them? After Alex is involved in an incident on her way home, she is about to find out.
When she wakes up to a whole life she has no memory of, and which has now been altered irrevocably, a lot of work is needed to deal with the fallout. As someone who has never been known for healthy coping mechanisms, this is a big ask. But…if you don’t remember who you were, can you learn to be someone different?
Pretty much AU as while this draws from the main beats of cannon, Alex’s history gets a hefty rewrite. Chapter 7
Alex is not exactly known for always making the smartest choices, often a result of her why-the-hell-not attitude meeting her fierce sense of independence. With no knowledge of her past and a desperate need to find out she might want to both be careful what she wishes for and what choices she makes.

Love can be a source of great grief and immense pain, a tremendous guilt, a reason to run from ourselves or away from each other. Love can be a curse, but always and completely, it's a gift.

Beta Cannon: the Pre Voyager Era of Kathryn Janeway | Mosaic v The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway
Tumblr media
This weekend, I got a copy of the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway from a local book store. For how frequently we speak about Mosaic in the community (despite having some flaws) I was shocked that I had not heard a lot about this book and assumed it was a bad thing. And yeah in some regards it was (see @mia-cooper’s post on the subject). I have a lot of feelings (I’ll post a proper review at a later point) but one thing that did stick out to me is the divergence from what we have considered Beta Canon, aka, the extended universe of Star Treks told through novels, short stories, video games, etc. After completing the novel, I jumped right into my old standby copy of Mosaic, which has dictated a lot of Janeway’s back story since 96. Both of these novels cover the beginnings of Janeway’s life and how she was shaped into the woman we know. 
TLDR The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway changes a lot of things for no reason. Some of these are for the good. Some for the bad. And some, for like no good reason at all, like it was fine as it was, and was accepted cannon for like 25 years, but sure fine whatever.
I will mention that, as Mosaic has been a book in my library and I have read it too many times, so of course, I do have a bias toward it. Additionally, I feel like it is fair to mention here that authors of Fanfiction have leaned on this as their bibles since 1996 as Mosaic is written by Jeri Taylor, one of the show-runners for Voyager. Because of its connection with a showrunner, Mosaic is also integrated into the canon of the show. It seems that most points that are taken from Mosaic in the Autobiography are only included because of their existence in cannon material.
Anyway, this review is going to focus on the characters that shape Kathryn and I will end with my final thoughts. This is long so to respect your dash, you are going to have to click keep reading. You’re welcome.
Obligatory Spoiler Warning for ALL of Mosaic, chapter 13 of Pathways, and chapters 1-7 of The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway
Tumblr media
Edward Janeway
In all media, I feel like we can safely say that Kathryn Janeway is in fact a daddy’s girl. Her relationship with her father is very important to her, so it is interesting to see how it is portrayed very differently in both novels. In Mosaic, a lot of the highlights of Janeway’s earlier years revolve around time spent with him. From giving her special attention after ‘Your Sister’ was born, to consoling her after her losing tennis match and subsequent walk home in the rain, and trips to Mars, Kathryn mentions great fondness of quality time spent. In the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway he is more described as an absent father, one that she always wanted to see and please. When he was home, she wanted all of his attention and to impress him greatly. She wished to follow in his footsteps after gaining a love of flight and the stars with a plane ride and a telescope he gave her. He tried to prepare her by detaining the events of the current conflict with Cardassia and inviting Starfleet brass over for dinner. Overall, in her early childhood, it makes more sense for Edward to not be around often. There is not a lot of conflict between the sources, other than the details of the aforementioned tennis match and different childhood nicknames.  
Edward is in a crash aboard an experimental ship on Tau Ceti Prime which leads to his death. This is where the big differences begin. In Mosaic, Kathryn and her fiancé are also on board. In  Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, Kathryn is still on the Al-Batani. The fall out of this event has a great effect on Kathryn of course in both novels. As this is a missive shaping event of Kathryn’s life, I felt it very jarring to be changed. This moment shaped Janeway and gives us good context for why she handles situations the way she does. I see this trauma and I understand her character better, for dealing with the loss of two of the most important people in her life all at once.
Gretchen Janeway
The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway was good to Gretchen Janeway as her character is basically a blank slate. We know little about her from Mosaic as it mostly focuses on Kathryn’s relationship with her father (and other male influences in her life). It is nice to learn more things about Grechen as with Edward’s job, it is likely that Kathryn was mainly raised by her. Other than being an artist, she also wrote some of the Flotter holos and wrote a number of children’s stories about the people of Bajor during the occupation. She does a lot of humanitarian work with the refugees from Bajor during the occupation. She loves to garden and get her daughters involved. She has a close bond with Phoebe due to their overlapping interests, but you can tell that she strives to support her in what she does. Overall, I like getting know Gretchen to be someone of than Kathryn’s mother.
Phoebe Janeway
 I was shocked when researching Memory Alpha for this review, Phoebe is never named in any Cannon media up to this point (Star Trek Prodigy could very well change this). We know Janeway has a sister and she is an artist, but that is it. Both novels keep her very similar personality-wise. In both stories, Kathryn is not looking forward to being a big sister. They also both mourn the loss of their father together. In Mosaic, she is not mentioned much. Kathryn tells her she is not old enough on an off planet trip and Phoebe plays pranks on her. The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway goes much more into depth. They don’t get along when they are younger. They fight a lot. I feel this is a very realistic portrayal of real siblings, vying for attention and approval, snapping when they don’t get their way.  They both excel at what they do, Kathryn in her studies and Phoebe through her art. They seem to need to one-up each other at every turn.  As they grow up, they grow closer together, as many siblings do. Points added for giving Phoebe a wife, something which has been included in a lot of fanfiction. Overall, there are no big conflicting points.
Tumblr media
Mark Johnson
Kathryn’s fiance at the time of the Voyager’s disappearance, Mark is a very different part of Kathryn’s life in both novels. In Mosaic, he is a childhood friend and went by his middle name Hobbs. Seemingly always two steps behind Kathryn, he did a lot of the same activities that she did, tennis and swimming in the underground cave systems. He did these poorly, and this makes Kathryn always look down upon him. They reconnected after her father’s death and she fell head-over-heels for him. Personally, I always felt this was a little uncharacteristic of Kathryn, to run away from her responsibilities to be with a man. It just seems very out of character and has always bothered me. The  Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway takes a completely different approach. She meets Mark as a friend of Pheobe and her wife as a widower. They hit it off and they fall hard. You can see the conflict in Kathryn as she debates how to move forward with a relationship as they have different outlooks on life. She has a drive to explore but does not want to be an absent parent. She debates quitting, which I don’t think is something Janeway would have ever done. Overall she decides to accept Mark’s proposal just before taking command of Voyager. This makes the Dear John situation a lot more believable as it makes sense that he would want to move on with his life much quicker. Overall, I have to just ask, why? I know Mark doesn’t have a lot of character, but why change basically their whole relationship dynamic? 
Justin Tighe
Justin is a character I actually like for selfish reasons. This explains why I was very miffed that he was nowhere to be seen in the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway. Justin is Kathryn’s first love, they were coworkers, engaged and in love, and dies in the same accident that takes her father. As a person who always wanted Chakotay and Janeway to get together, this incident perfectly gives the reason. She is afraid to get romantically involved with a crew member because of the nature of the job. This dynamic is seen between Picard and Nella Daren in TNG very well. Kathryn has learned the hard way that she can lose a person under her command and how it feels when you are in love with that person. In early Voyager, you can see she isolates herself from the crew and it takes time for her to get comfortable. And during Night she relapses to her old ways. This is the way I have always justified Janeway’s reluctance to have a romantic relationship during their time in the Delta Quadrant. By understanding her background, I have a lot of respect for that choice. Her relationship with Justin really shaped how she handles relationships and without the impact he had on her life, it actually makes her character weaker.
Owen Paris
Owen is Kathryn’s mentor. In Mosaic, they meet as he is reviewing her junior honors thesis advisor on massive compact halo objects. From here they gained a relationship built on respect and learning. It makes sense that, as he was her personal mentor, that she would be close with his family, and why she would seek out Tom as a person to bring with her to the Badlands mission. In the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, she does not meet him until she is on the Al-Batani. This doesn’t only weaken her relationship with Admiral Paris, but moreover weakens her relationship with Tom. If he was her superior officer, why would she develop such a ‘big sister’ mentality to Tom if she didn’t have as many opportunities to meet him?
Tumblr media
Tuvok
Mosaic does not go too much in depth with Tuvok and Janeway’s relationship, but its sister novel Pathways does. In Pathways, Tuvok meets Janeway when he is an ensign under her command of the USS Bonestell. The Bonestell and the Billings, two ships that Janeway served on, tend to get confused a lot. Most sources have Janeway’s first command as the Voyager, Including Voyager itself -  “It doesn't seem like my first command is shaping up the way I expected,” Janeway Shattered. The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway has her and Tuvok meet on the Al-Batani. I actually really like the dynamic between them, as they grow to respect each other over a much longer period of time. I also like that, though Janeway climbs through the ranks, it does not change their relationship dynamic as she still relies on him and asks him advice as if they were equals. I think giving them a longer time to build their relationship. Also would like to note that Janeway and Tuvok also had a friendship with the original CMO of Voyager, Dr. Fitzgerald. I always wanted to know more about the Pre-Caretaker crew and I would have loved to see this dynamic and how the grief of losing a close personal friend in the Caretaker incident would impact them both.
Also I feel obligated to shout out the Janeway and Tuvok story in Star Trek Waypoint One-Shot. I need to get around to doing a series retrospective, but this short story I have not seen anyone talk about and I love it so much. Please read Waypoint. Okay next.
Tumblr media
Other characters
Cheb - Janeway’s boyfriend in Mosaic. He was kind of an asshole and got her into trouble. He is not in the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway and I see no problem with this.
Boothby - “[he is the] head groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy. When I was a cadet, he used to give me fresh roses for my quarters,” Janeway Revulsion. Boothby is not in Mosaic. In the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway, it is explained that her mother loved to garden and this was something that Boothby did as a gradian figure to make her feel at home and destress. Makes sense.
Aisha - A childhood friend of Katheryn’s. Only in the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway. Mosaic has this weird thing about highlighting the relationships with only the men in her life, so it is nice to see her have some other female friends.
Nexa - Katheryn’s roommate at the Academy.  Only in the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway. Nexa helps broaden Kathryn’s horizons by helping to learn about Exoliguisticts, first contact, and the Betazoid culture. Again nice to see her have other female friends.
Riker - Yes they go on a date in Mosaic. He is not mentioned in the  Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway. I know he is a gag character but I still liked it.
-----------------------
Final Thoughts
A lot of characters were changed between these two novels. There is a lot to like and a lot to hate. I really like what the Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway did with characters like Tuvok and Gretchen Janeway. Other characters were not so lucky (Justin, sweetie I’m so sorry that they would erase you like that, oh my god). It’s a mixed bag, but one thing I need say is... why?
We have had a good thing going here with the established canon as is. Mosaic (and Pathways) is the foundation of which the last 25 years of fanworks and the relaunch novels are based on. Why change history when it is already written?
Always, would love to hear your thoughts and thank you for reading my novel of a post. I will see you in the full review.

Disney’s Live Action Line-Up
Guys, I went down a rabbit hole.

Post your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers (◠‿◠✿). Do multiple fandoms if you want!
So I was tagged to do this by @eshtiel a few days ago and I've been trying to pic just 5 fics since then. I've been failing sooooo hard. I finally narrowed it down to 8 out of 29 ...i figured I could get away with it because 6 of them are short fics (Counting Freckles isn’t even 1500 words
Big:
Scared to Act (SPN AU, Destiel, Sabriel)
Colliding Worlds (SPN/Doctor Who, Cannon divergent -S11, Destiel)
Small
Do You Wanna Build a Snowma-Dammit Jim, No I Don't (Star Trek AOS, Canon, Christmas/Snowmen, McKirk)
Not so Mistaken Identity (SPN AU, DCJ, NSFW)
Counting Freckles (SPN, Canon Divergent, Destiel)
Blame it on the Bacon (SPN AU, Destiel, NSFW)
The Night Was Also Moist (SPN, Canon Divergent, Destiel, implied Sabriel, Crack Fic)
Two Makes One (Star Trek AOS, Canon, Soulmates, McKirk)
@deadlykittenkay @jhoomwrites @formidablepassion @ltleflrt @braezenkitty
Honestly there are so many of you I could tag for this, so really, whoever WANTS to do this, go right ahead...

For Trekkies, sci-fi fans and those that hope we will travel in space Ethan Seigel is one of the best popularizers of Astronomy and Cosmology. His column "Starts With a Bang" is great. He is a Trekkie, and fills this book with arcane knowledge of Star Trek, real science and where they coincide or diverge. He writes well, clearly without losing the basis of complex theories. Highly recommended Go to Amazon
communicators to tricorders are discussed in a concise and easy to follow way An engaging and entertaining look at the science from Star Trek, and it's real world applications. Go to Amazon
BUY THIS BOOK. SEE HOW TECH. IS EVOLVING. We happened to see this book while passing thru the library. Fascinating descriptions of the tech used in Star Trek and how it has evolved. Trekkies and anyone interested in science would love this book. Get it. Go to Amazon
Great nerd coffee table book I enjoyed this book. I particularly liked how Ethan Siegel compared where Star Trek was and where we are and where we will realistically be. He was unhesitant to label some things as unrealistic while others as attainable. He explained the science clearly and wrote in a fun way. Although i received a digital galley of the book via Netgalley, I was also fortunate to receive a hard copy as a gift and I can safely say that the book is beautiful. The photographs and illustrations are gorgeous to the point where I would say that this is a good coffee-table book. I strongly recommend this book for fans of Star Trek or for anyone interested in science. Go to Amazon
An accessible Trek History & Real World Scientific Advances The book begins with Space Travel & Starships and ends with the more personal sized item, Tricorders. I'm each category, we get a explanation of the subjects role & history within the Trek cannon (not including Discovery in this edition). We then get into the scientific concepts & creations within our world that relate and a rough idea of how we've come or how far away we may be. I rented this from my library, but it is a nice addition to other existing technical Trek books on your behalf. It does not require a strong science background, although I needed to refamiliarize myself with Einstein & some physics laws. Go to Amazon
Five Stars Beautiful book! Go to Amazon
Five Stars Just as advertised! Very quick send time! Go to Amazon
