( Captain's log, supplemental: The first contact mission to the Klingon world has taken a bad turn. According to Spock and Scott, the warpship they claim to have built, they can't have built - it must have been seized from aliens who landed here previously. And - perhaps in anticipation of this discovery on our part - General Kartasp has taken hostages: three of my crewmen and the Doctor's three companions. )

Decades before I started asking myself questions like, What if King Arthur were a starship captain, or a MASH surgeon?, I asked, What if James T. Kirk never existed but Hawkeye Pierce was born 300 years late? The title of a T*R*E*K piece is a line from the original scene which doesn't appear in the T*R*E*K version. (Here's an overview of the T*R*E*K chronology.)

Setting/spoilers: This is a scene from The Tholian Web.

( ''But then,'' McCoy said to the Doctor, ''the Gallifrey of your past, then you must know what happens next!'' )

In this post on startrek bloggers are complaining that Spock and Uhura have no chemistry and that, according to a screenwriter quote, the relationship was put in just so Spock would have someone to lean on when ( spoiler ). I decided it was offtopic and possibly inflammatory so I didn't, but I was going to comment:

I can't help but think of twelfth-century romance readers reacting to Chretien de Troyes' latest and saying, "Who is this Lancelot? He's never been in it before, and now the queen's having an affair with him? Where did that come from? It's a ripoff of the Tristram stories, that's what it is. If Gawaine must share the spotlight, dump this loser and give us Kay back."

Edit I did comment earlier to someone complaining about the effect of the Spock-Uhura romance on the classic Kirk-Spock-McCoy triangle, asking, "What's wrong with a square?" The other blogger accused either me or the screenwriters of making Uhura into a mary sue (not true: everyone knows the Doctor is my Mary Sue). The gloves came off.

August 17, 1997 was the day I first posted a chapter of fanfiction to Usenet with the intent of posting chapters weekly on an indefinite basis. I continued until early 2001, at that point having been posting chapters in serial comic strip form instead of prose for over a year, when the comic strips returned to the standalone gag format of my daily cartoons since before the internet but still in the same fanfiction universe. Though I'd posted a multi-part Doctor Who/X-Files crossover the previous May, I always count August 17 as the founding date of the crossover multiverse those stories and cartoons are set in, and in which some stories are still set.
