ICON WOE

I need to re-do my icons, but I don't know what to get rid of! I think a ton of SPN ones are going to have to go. I've got new icons for EVERYTHING ELSE!! *headdesk*

Seriously, why do they limit your icons, even with a paid account? IT'S UNFAIR PERSECUTION AGAINST FANGIRLS, I SAY. D:

Also, rdallyn made an uber fun meme of music love that I should do. That I WILL do, when there is time. *le sigh*

Star Trek: We Reach Our Apogee Slowly (Part 4), eventual Kirk/Spock, Spock/Uhura, R

Title: We Reach Our Apogee Slowly (Part 4)
Author: kowaiyoukai
Rating: R
Pairing: eventual like whoa Kirk/Spock (STFU), Spock/Uhura (blame JJ, not me)
Warning(s): Angst, meta, language, attempts at witty banter, overly-important tone, intentionally confusing parts, potentially OOC everybody
Spoilers: Star Trek XI (2009) (a.k.a. Star Trek XI, Star Trek 2009, Star Trek Reboot, New Trek, and can we please just pick one name for this fandom people?!)
Word Count: 7,911 (for this part)
Disclaimer: Star Trek belongs to Gene Roddenberry, mostly, but also a lot of other people/groups like Paramount, J.J. Abrams, and the various writers/directors. I'm not one of those people, sadly, because if I was I'd be filthy rich.
Beta Acknowledgment: None! I know there are errors, so please let me know if you see any! Thanks!
Summary: Jim quickly realized he was going to have to break the rules if he wanted to survive on the Enterprise.
A/N: This part took longer to get out for three reasons: 1. I've been watching TOS every night to get through it, 2. I've been working on other fic, and 3. Uhura is the hardest character for me to write (so whenever she's in a scene, you can just assume it took me way too long to figure out what she does). I don't want to vilify Uhura, but I equally don't want to make her OOC, and she is very stubborn, intelligent, confident, and focused in XI. It comes across as being bitchy in fic, no matter how hard I try to make her not so bitchy. *le sigh* Also, I keep on writing later parts! *headdesk* But hopefully I'll be getting out at least one chapter a week--that's the goal, anyway. And a question! I need an idea for a mission. I've got a few planned already, but there's space for at least one that I haven't thought of anything for yet. Someone had mentioned they were wondering if I was going to do any TOS eps in here, and I thought if anyone had any plot lines they'd like to see XI-style or else another mission-esque thing they'd like to see happen, just comment with it! Doesn't mean I'll do it, but whatever idea catches my fancy will probably happen. :P Finally: you may or may not be happy to know this fic has over 50,000 words written, and it's not even half-way yet. I could've done this for a Big Bang, lol. \o/ I need a new summary, I hate the one I have. Ideas? OMG, LONG!A/N IS LONG.

Star Trek/Fandom Rant, b/c srsly wtf is this shit?!

OK, anyone who doesn't appreciate rants, just ski-doodle on by. This is mainly b/c I stumbled across a post, which I won't link to b/c it doesn't matter in the end, but it got me thinking about people who don't ship slash. I KNOW IT SHOCKS ME TOO! But I am not even joking right now, there are people who actually come on LJ to COMPLAIN about the abundance of slash in fandom--not just ST, but everything. I just saw someone say that het shippers were hated upon, and someone else was saying that they didn't ship Sheppard/McKay, Kirk/Spock, or Jack/Ianto and so they felt like they were being forced to wade through all this slash to find what they wanted. (These examples are taken from a few different sources, mind, various entries, and I'm really not pointing anyone out b/c everyone's entitled to their own opinion.)
