Summary: Jim quickly realized he was going to have to break the rules if he wanted to survive on the Enterprise.
A/N: I HOPE THE FANGIRLISH PARTS MAKE UP FOR THE WAIT. Mission chapters suck. This was an accident--and I mean that. This wasn't supposed to go down this way at all. Clearly arguing with myself only causes hassle for us all. Also, the next part is only partly written. Sorry. I blame many people for how long this took me to get out, but mostly the following: mariole for her reminder that shuttlecrafts existed and could be used to rescue them (which made me have to brainstorm with siriuslyyellow interesting ways of taking the shuttlecrafts out of the picture), rdallyn for getting me to promise her K/S cuddling for warmth (yeah, I knew I was going to put it in anyway, but then I just had to make it REALLY good and not horribly stereotypical), and the LJ user WHOSE SCREENNAME I'VE FORGOTTEN (so please remind me if it's you) for her awesome comments on my original novel (which caused me to work/think about that for a while--especially the autistic!K thing--WHAT'S YOUR SCREENNAME I FORGOT IT FROM FAIL), and the creative teams doing SPN, SGA, and Farscape (which fueled my non-ST fandom interests--NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!) EDIT: I just realized this part was over 10,000 words long. WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS TO MYSELF?! *headdesk*

Okay. If you've been reading Apogee, read on. If not, sorry to bother you. Have a cookie. *gives cookies*

Remember how part 6 was divided into 3 sections b/c of lj limits? It's my strong opinion that every mission chapter is going to be similar, divided into smaller sections. So what would you guys rather I do--post all the sections at once (which would take a longer time but have no cliffhangers or awkward ending points) or post as I hit the lj limit (which would mean it goes up faster but it might end at weird spots)?

Thoughts, anyone?

A/N: So there was DISASTER when getting this chapter out. I'm staying at jelost's house for the week, and lo and behold, there's a fucking tornado warning. So this massive storm came and shut the power off for almost thirteen hours, just when I was in the middle of writing the last section of this. Then the power was out for about 14-15 hours, and then when it came back on, the internet was broke. So I had to wait for jelost to get home from work so she could fix it b/c kicking it did nothing and I had no more ideas. AND THEN WHEN I'D FINALLY GOTTEN ALMOST TO THE END OF THIS CHAPTER--Word crashed seven times in ten minutes and I had to write the rest of it in Notepad, and re-write a bunch that Word had made into *'s and boxes. DDDDDDD: Apologies to everybody, but especially to animegirl0087 who bribed me with Star Trek merch to get this part out yesterday AND to nix_this who bribed me with more fanart to get this part out sooner than I did. I AM EPIC FAIL, but it's really not my fault this time! Oh, and in case anyone's curious/counting, I've hit over 100,000 words in my Apogee Word file. A bunch of it hasn't been posted yet, but still... \o/ Also, I really want to write some porn.

So I'm at the library and replying to comments and whatnot. So I'll be catching up here on LJ and then I've got to get my slow ass over to Facebook and Twitter before people shoot me. But just a note to say, hey flist! I STILL REMEMBER AND LOVE YOU EVEN THOUGH I SUCK AT REPLYING IN A TIMELY FASHION. *headdesk*

So fun things! anoncomment7 pointed me in the direction of this FFN meta/fic/awesomesauce-thingy that dissects every episode of TOS for K/S slashiness. LOL YES IT IS AS AWESOME AS YOU THINK IT IS. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5105759/1/AnalyzationCommentary_of_TOS_for_KS Go to it and give the author some love for her awesome work at making the world a slashier place! ♥ (The author is brittanyksduh here, but I think her account's basically unused, EPIC SIGH.)

rdallyn!! *puppy dog eyes* ILU FOREVER SO GET THESE FOR ME HOKAY?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA1JbtCiDrc & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoEpjggncoI. The author of the above meta made them and I'm very curious about them now. MORE B/J FIC COULD BE IN IT FOR YOU. XD

FLIST <3!!

EDIT: OMG, does anyone know if there is a how to use LJ thingy up somewhere? I was supposed to write out instructions on how to use LJ, like how to change your format and all that shit, but I never did and now someone else I lured here asked for it, so I really need one. *pines*

A/N: THIS IS THE SECOND APOGEE POST OF THE DAY! Make sure you've read Part 6a before this part, otherwise confusion will be so everywhere for everyone. *headdesk*


( We Reach Our Apogee Slowly (Part 6b) )

I found this poem on a random comment to a random post, which I now cannot find again. Oh, well, such is life. The comment was left by pikacharma, who wrote after it, "The most beautiful love poem ever, that I sadly did not write, but saw written on a bathroom wall and promptly memorized for the greater good." Here you go:

There once was a Vulcan named Spock
Who, while stroking his monstrous cock
With lust went berserk
And besieged Captain Kirk
"Bend over. This shuttle must dock."

In other news, Apogee part 6 is taking too long to write b/c it's way longer than a usual part is. So, hopefully, it will be up by Monday. My goal is Wednesday at the latest, but if it takes that long I will cry. ;_;

And my computer is still half-broken. D: I'm going to this guy to fix it tomorrow, but I half-think he might just say something's wrong to take my money. WHICH WOULD BE FAIL. -_-;;

And I'm finally caught up on comments to reply to, including the ones on my "het fans hating on slash" rant over two weeks ago! That is utter fail, self. UTTER FAIL.

And now I'm going to walk back home and figure out how the heck to finish part 6 without it being so long it's ridiculous. Although it might still be so long it's ridiculous.

-_-;; *headdesk*

Summary: Every story has other sides.
A/N: So this is the first in a series of side stories I've got planned for Apogee. You can choose to read them or not. They're all from the other characters' perspectives, so Kirk and Spock don't appear as much in these, although they are discussed. There should be one Otherside after every five regular chapters, but that may change. This was written mainly because I kept getting comments on the side characters and I really wanted to show them more, but that takes away from the Kirk/Spock interaction and who wants that?! NOBODY. So this was the answer. Hope you like it! :D

EDIT: So I EPICFAIL and somehow managed to screw up the first paragraph in Scotty's second section. It's fixed now, though-an extra 50 words. *headdesk* I've also gone back and posted links to the next part at the end of each part, thanks to christycorr's obvious suggestion.

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.

Summary: Jim quickly realized he was going to have to break the rules if he wanted to survive on the Enterprise.
A/N: Bah, RL crap happened liek whoa. And OMG, I am really not happy with some parts of this section. But whatever, such is life, I'm moving on and dealing with it. Also, I am DONE talking about death. I don't care what the characters say, I am going back to the main plot and they can all SUCK MY ASS. Just FYI. You'll also notice I have issues with giving OCs names. Sorry, it just bothers me is all. I hate naming characters who pop up once and have no future relevance. I wouldn't even have any OCs if I could get away with it, but I can't. ll that travelling around, meeting people, it just requires OCs. ;_; Finally, I started watching TOS, but everyone's so different that I doubt it'll have any effect on the fic at all. *shrugs* Also, LOL, I wrote a Pinto drabble. WTF self?!

EDIT: Part 3 edited on June 6, 2009 because I'm an asshat. I fucked up and forgot the chair does indeed swivel in the movie. However, because of my fuck-up, I unintentionally thought up something else, so perhaps it all works out okay in the end, yay? I took out the swivel mentions here, so the edits are very minor, in the fourth scene in this part (the one with McCoy). I'm half delirious from staying up all night and then freaking out over this swivel chair disaster. *headdesk*
