omg, you guys. I'm still alive, I swear. My life has just been...insane. Work's been a whirlwind, been flying out places most weekends, got in a minor but highly aggravating and time consuming car accident, dealing with family health insanity, cat health issues, and I just...GAH. I've been lurking around a tiny bit, just trying to keep myself sane, but most things have collapsed by the way side. I feel like I've missed a thousand birthdays (yo, birthday girls, leave me a prompt, maybe that will kick my muse back into gear). And I think I owe my first born to abyssinia4077  in fannish blood payment at this point.I don't even have any energy left to flail over LJ's most recent attempt to make my fannish anonymity as tricky as possible (facebook has been completely isolated in its own dedicated web browser, I don't trust it to play well with others). Someone please tap me before we all completely abandon LJ. I don't want to miss the last boat.

I'm staring at a pile of fic that desperately needs to be finished, especially with NaNo breathing down my neck. (What is up with all these sequels? I've got the third and FINAL installment in the porn universe, I've got a mini!otp sequel (?!?!), not to mention Down Here Among the Wreckage that people must be assuming I have abandoned (I haven't, I SWEAR!). Plus, I have just finished posting my dayofindulgence  uber slavefic of doom over at ffnet. But...it sort of ends evilly and requires a sequel that I have not nearly finished yet. *is evil* (I will post said evil fic here at some point. Probably.) And let us not even speak of the Thirty Characters meme from ages ago. Oy.)

I have been stealing moments here and there late at night when I can't sleep and have been surprisingly obsessed with Star Trek Reboot fic. I know. WTH? ( Star Trek Reboot Fic Recs (Awesome Women Rule The Future) )

I'm a Trek fan. Not a true diehard one, but rather of the variety that had adolescent crushes simultaneously on Wesley Crusher and Jean Luc Picard and has seen every episode of Voyager multiple times. So I went in familiar with the Star Trek universe, but not so invested that I was sure to hate any liberties taken. ( And this is what I thought about it. Spoilers. )

Now, does someone want to explain who Christine Chapel is? *ducks down behind her life-size Jean Luc Picard cardboard cut out*
