AN: I was watching the first episode of DS9 for the first time in years, and it struck me how white/colonialist the underlying assumptions are. It's the Civilized Foreigner Come To Help The Benighted Natives who can find the Temple! The Other Civilized Foreigner checking the historical databases for things the Benighted Natives have known for years is the one who notices the blatantly obvious pattern the Benighted Natives have never figured out and Solves The Mystery! The Civilized Foreigners go off (with no native people!) to find The Mystic Treasure! (At least there is some variety, in that the Civilized Foreigners are a black man and a white woman, instead of white men.) And I asked myself: why the HELL is Kira going along with all of this? Why is she just … letting this happen?

OH HEY, I GUESS I SHOULD OPEN THE CURTAINS AND LET THE LIGHT IN HERE.

Import and open posting will begin shortly (what's this? yes! a truly active branch of Where No Woman, home to all of Star Trek's ladies and femmesque androgynes, right here!). Until then, this post is here for your general party/drabbles/hello/introduction/tire-kicking purposes. Make yourselves at home!

P.S. If anybody is competent enough with CSS to vanquish the two white lines intruding on the top and bottom of our layout, please let me know.

Hello, beautiful community that I adore. I failed you this summer when I flaked on the Femslash and Queer Gen fest. Now, five months late, I have finally written a story that fills the lovely request I received. I post it here now – call it ritual expiation of guilt. No real restitution for being a flake, but I hope some of y'all will like it all the same.
