| Description: | un-erasing the women of Star Trek |
AboutThis is a community for fanwork dedicated to the women of Star Trek, particularly those of the 2009 film. Our ongoing mission: to seek out personalities not defined by their husbands and sons, to explore the lives lived only offscreen, to boldly go where all of these women should have gone before.
This community may well owe its existence to this open letter to Winona Kirk.
Guidelines For Posting
Be focused on women. Genfic, femslash, and het that center on women are all welcome. Shipfic, especially for lesser-written-about characters, is lovely as long as it offers some kind of character-based insight/development. Is your Spock/Uhura porn really about who Nyota is? Is Joanna just windowdressing for your Kirk/McCoy, or does she have a real relationship with them? Please take a moment to consider the comm's purpose when you make your decision to post. This community exists to broadcast voices not usually heard, not just serve as another stop on your crosspost list.
Be inclusive. Though the treatment of female characters in TOS/AOS catalyzed this comm, any woman who has appeared in any Star Trek is fair game. Yes, we're into your exploration of Seven's gender identity, and yes, we want to know more about Jennifer Sisko besides the fact that she died.
Be creative. Meta? Yes please. If you made fanart particularly relevant to our interests, we want to see (hell yeah, your picspams and fanvids are wanted here). Amazing, obscure recs? Go for it!
Be constructive. It's okay to be upset about female characters getting the shaft, but remember, this comm exists to celebrate and expand on them.
Be smart. All fic posts should be marked clearly as such, with title, author, rating, and any warnings you may have noted. Please place all fic and non-thumbnail-sized fanart behind an LJ cut. Mind your tags. Be aware that misogyny isn't the only problem that faces women either in fiction or in reality. Don't be a jerk.
