Unfeathered Notes

Got my intoabar fic finished just in time, after having added a whole new part to it last night! It's not beta'd and not as polished as it would once have been, but these days I'm just happy to have finished something I'm pleased with and got it posted by the deadline!!

Also? This is my first time ever writing Star Trek, so I'm rather pleased with that too!

I've been dithering over my sign-up, because I had this idea to choose Jean-Luc Picard as my main character, because we've been watching ST: The Next Gen and ST: Picard S1 (to remind ourselves what happened before we venture into S2) and so for the first time I thought I'd try writing a Star Trek character. Then I kept getting cold feet and putting off signing up. But now I've done it. After all, the worst that can happen is that I don't post a fic!

I've elminated Torchwood from the possible choice of fandoms he'll venture into, because I've ended up with TW characters the last two times. I added SJA this time instead. Looking forward to seeing who I get, now!

Username: unfeathered
Who goes into the bar?: Jean-Luc Picard

Well, I have finally seen Star Trek – took my mum (who got me into the original series) because Andy had already seen it. And may I say, I was *very* pleasantly surprised. I'd heard almost nothing but good stuff about it, but I admit I was very sceptical that it could possibly live up to the original series (all of them) and still bring something new to it.

( Cut for length and spoilers )

I'm sure I shall think of more to say as soon as I've posted this, but I shall just conclude with: all in all, this is a wonderful homage to the original series and something I am very much looking forward to seeing more of.
