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.

Title: No Such Thing as Coincidence in Command Track
Author: katmarajade
Pairing: George/Winona
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1856
Prompt: Academy fic, love as war, as much of Jim in them as possible
Summary: Winona is surprised to find herself in a Command track strategy class. What's more surprising is how she got there.
Notes: Written for echoinautumn as part of my personal holiday drabble series. This was my first time writing these characters and it was so much fun to try to see Jim in each of them. I hope you see what I saw, or even something that I didn't. Also, I researched and couldn't find Winona's maiden name, so I've just made one up for her here.

Winona Maris isn't entirely sure how she ended up in the Command Officer Strategics class, but she blames her Starfleet advisor. She's on the science track, planning on making officer in three years, and she doesn't have time for this sort of nonsense.

Title: He Who Goes To Bed Hungry
Author: _samalander
Fandom: ST:AOS
Rating: G
Wordcount: 2600
Warnings: Depression.
Characters/Pairings: Gen: Winona, Jim, Sam, mentions of George (post-death)
Summary: Winona makes dinner with her son.
Notes: For the where_no_woman Mother’s Day Challenge. Prompt #27: "Teaching Jim (or Sam, or both) to cook."

For the sake of clarity: The pancakes Winona is making are my father’s recipe and thoroughly the Northern American version of the food; fluffy, cakey, thick. Do not confuse with their European cousins, you will be confused.

Title from a Maltese proverb; "He who goes to bed hungry dreams of pancakes."

Betaed by rowena742, cheerled by theoreticalpixy and emmypenny. All three of you are heroes, and I appreciate all you do.

Which made me think: I should do a Winona mix.

I created it and have placed cover art + Grooveshark widget at my journal behind the fake cut:

Title: Day Trip To Delta Vega
Author: starsandgraces
Characters: Winona Kirk (née Butler), Haf Eske (big-eyed Kelvin doctor), George Kirk
Rating: PG-13
Wordcount: 4682
Summary: After their shuttlecraft is shot down on Delta Vega and their fellow cadets captured by an unknown enemy, Haf and Winona have to do something. Unfortunately for Winona, they have to do it with George Kirk.
Notes: Written as part of where_no_woman's New Year Exchange for tosca1390. There's very little fic about the big-eyed doctor on the Kelvin who delivered Jim and no information on what she might be called, so I made up my own name for her. Kindly beta'd by withthepilot.

( I don't have a weird thing about Kirk! )
