To Boldy Go...
All right, whichever of y'all posted that link to the Spock_Uhura comm...
I hate you with a firey, hatey hate.
So there.
Also, there is a scary amount of babyfic on that comm. DUDE.
I wonder what the fandom alchemy is that produces babyfic in one fandom as opposed to another?
I'm thinking the visceral loathing many fans have to the idea of BSG babyfic, for example. Over in FARSCAPE, we used to have a comm called "Sprog Wars" that was a good-humoured response to the antipathy some felt towards the idea of John and Aeryn having a child.
But then you get Spock/Uhura and, despite the fact that NuUhura is clearly ambitious and just at the start of her career, it seems people just can't wait to add a Vulcan/Human/Human sprog to the mix. Huh.
I wonder if it's because Uhura is physically passive and intellectual as opposed to an agressive ass-kicker along the lines of Starbuck or Aeryn Sun(interesting that we've yet to see genre media produce a female character who is as ass-kicking as she is smart. Helen Magnus has potential, though) and therefore motherhood doesn't threaten her agency in the story?
Anyway, I prefer McCoy, myself (^^). And you know he'd have a bottle of something good on board.
