Two Trek Things

cosmic_llin has had the fantastic idea of a Day of not-quite-Classic Trek - I'm copy-pasting from her post here, because I couldn't have said it better myself:

Seriously, you guys, I <3 the new Trek movie and TOS, but I sometimes wish, for purely selfish reasons, that there was more stuff on [info]trek_news for the 90s Trek series. I always get so excited when I see a Troi story or a batch of DS9 icons.

I think it would be cool if, on one particular day, there was suddenly a bunch of TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT stuff on there - stories, graphics, meta, vids, whatever! It would be like the Day of Classic in Doctor Who fandom, which is always awesome.

I don't know if anything like this has been done before for Trek, but would anyone want to do it with me? I propose Sunday June 20th, to give people a bit of time to get stuff together.

Is that not awesome? I'm excited already.

Also, in case you missed it on trek_news a while back: where_no_woman, the amazing Trek comm that puts the spotlight on female characters, is running a First Anniversary Ficathon for all Treks. The idea is simply that you claim a prompt and a day, and then post a fic for that prompt on that day. The prompts are everything from gen to het to femslash to crossovers, and they're definitely a lot of fun. It's a pretty relaxed ficathon, too: there are no word count limits or specific requirements. There are sign-up posts for AOS, TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and non-specific canon. Hope to see the Trek fans on my flist give it a shot! :D
