Hey guys! My good friend Vladhazel sent me in Open Scrolls' direction. I'm glad she did, because there are just too many bad fanfic sites out there. 
I'm a LOTR fan, but not a LOTR writer  I've been a fanfic writer for years, however, and the old bug bit me again recently. The victim is Star Trek.
Can't wait to meet some great people. I like the attitude I've seen thus far. |

Nifty. Any friend of Vlad's is ... probably someone I'd want to get drunk with.
So what are your ST proclivities? I like me some DS9 myself, with Picard thrown in for spice and smexy baldness. |

Mostly I'm a DS9 and Original Series fan. I was first introduced to the series when my mom got the first 5 movies on tape (before 6 came out ^_~) and we all marathon watched them. My favorite was 4, because I was little and the whales were cool. I had an insta-crush on Spock.
I was a religious DS9 watcher in high school. The show always had great interaction between the characters, I loved them all. My favorite character was Bashir. Alexander Siddig is very yum.
I didn't watch very much Next Gen when it was on. My mom was a fan, so I was familiar with it, but I never really started watching it until recently. I think I appreciate it a lot more in syndication than when it was still in production. |

Welcome, ramfish!
I'm not much of a Trekkie but I did watch the whole of the last series and all the movies... (and I'm pretty sure I must have seen all of the OS' eps too) But while DS9 was on, I was busy watching Bab 5.
Any other fandom you dabble in?
Pull up a chair, grab some tea or a beer. I'm sure there must be some port left in that barrel over there too.
do.

No, there's not.
Hey, Ramfish, welcome to OSA. I'm happy to see any friend of Vlad's and always glad to welcome a new writer. I haven't watched Star Trek avidly in a long time although there was a time when I could name any OS ep in the first thirty seconds - Whoo-hoo! Hoist the nerd flag!!
Again, welcome; since you posted a beta request, and posted it in the right place first time out I already love you. 
Oh! And I'd be remiss if I didn't encourage you to check out our challenges! Viv and I try to get a new one going every week as a source of inspiration to writers. You can write for Star Trek or any fandom that tickles your muse.
Cheers,
NB

Hi, lady! I'm glad to see you here and hopping right in. And I see you've already met some of the regulars - at least the ones that count knowing me as a *positive* character reference. I hope you have as much fun here as I do!
And you probably already know, but I'm right there with you on the Bashir crush. He's so nerdy it's hot.

*cough* late to the party but thought I'd give a yell hello to another fellow Trek fan! I saw your other item about needing a beta, I'm up for it but my time is limited at the moment so we can always work on something.
I'm expecting we might see a new wave of nuTrek (one of the new terms floating around for the new movie) fans writing fanfiction... I know FFnet is already getting overwhelmed.
And yes, Siddig is uber yummy though he has to battle Patrick Stewart in my mind for being on the pedestal.

Hi Nancy,
What's your poison? You dabble in many fandoms or you got your favourite?
In any case, have a look around and don't be shy to holler if you have any questions.
Welcome to the madness, as they say.
do.
