I have a few of these, so I hope I don't irritate you by posting multiple links at once. I did that meme where you name ten characters and then write ficlets based on prompts. Over half of my prompt characters were women, and two of them are characters from the Vaginas¹ on the Enterprise post.

They're all in one entry, so if you're interested in more than one you can just click a single link and then scroll through.

( Summaries and links for seven fics below the cut. )

Erm... so I made icons. Like, a lot of them. I didn't mean to, exactly? I mean, I did. Kinda. It started off with "I have these Number One icons leftover from a custom batch for someone, and I should do some more icons to make a proper icon post" and then this happened. For context, it started happening about 12 hours ago, and then just kept happening every few hours until, well... THIS.

Samples:


ETA: also, if you'd like a caption on any one of these, let me know. I was originally going to do text, and realised the images spoke for themselves in most cases...

Continuing in the theme of my picspam of minor female characters on DS9, it's...

VAGINAS¹ ON THE ENTERPRISE
(and beyoooooond!)
(¹ and beyooooooond vaginas as well, since not every woman has or needs one! This is where I apologize for the cisgender-privileged thinking that went into my title. Not cool.)

Funny thing about Star Trek XI: it's pretty much a brodeo, to use the technical term. We here, being contrary sorts, have made it our business to love and illuminate four women in the movie, only one of whom received any real narrative weight in and of herself. I love that we have done this, as I love the four of them. But another funny thing about Star Trek XI is that it is actually full of women -- they just don't have names or conversations or personalities that we get to hear about. They're there, delivering most of the incidental expository dialogue, pushing the buttons, and making the world look real. They flesh out the story. And because I'm me and this is apparently what I do, I bring some of them to you now. So that they can be seen on their own terms, and so that, I even dare hope, this might inspire us to tell their stories, too.

Star Trek XI and deleted scenes caps by Ariane's Star Trek Gallery, Trekcore, Screenmusings, and in one sad case myself. Title appropriated from affectingly, which is why you should be careful when saying hilarious phrases in my presence.
