batiferrite: (Default)
I looked through the TOS tag, but never saw this fic posted. It was written in 1987 and deals with a lot of feminist issues and discussions from that time (many of which are still painfully relevant today...). I think it's really interesting to see how these characters interact and have to learn how to work together with their differing opinions and worldviews. Ithiliana on AO3 wrote an essay describing the historical context of the story and gave an in-depth synopsis (along with talking about potentially triggering aspects), if you were curious. 

I think it's definitely worth reading, both as a historical work, an inspiration to think more about feminist ideas, and simply as a good piece of literature! The characters are very well-developed and you can sufficiently see in their heads and understand where they're coming from, even if you don't agree. Also, the entire last third was emotionally devastating; I think I cried all the way through it...

Title: Demeter
Author: Jane Land
Fandom: TOS
Wordcount: 99,235
Rating: E
Characters: Christine Chapel, Spock, Nyota Uhura, Original Female Characters
Pairing(s): Christine Chapel / Spock
Warning(s): It's been a while since I read it, but there's a lot of potentially triggering content -- rape, forced drug use, drug addiction, intense fight scenes, amputations, etc.
Summary:
"A threatened all-female colony will only accept help from women. Uhura and Christine lead an Enterprise team to battle the prejudices of the colonists and the Federation, as well as more sinister forces that imperil them both. Set seven years after Kista, but stands on its own." (From an ad in Datazine #45)

"When I finished Kista, I simply could not concentrate on the immediate sequel. When I tried, I came up blank, so I jumped ahead in time and tackled a question that had been bothering me.

Just how sexist is the Federation? Granted that Star Trek was unusually enlightened for the mid-sixties, there are elements of it which seem offensive in the eighties. And if we accept it as a depiction of the 23rd century, where does that leave us?"

Hello, lovely ladies. I wanted to give you all a heads up that I have chosen Nyota and Gaila for my ladies to discuss for the [livejournal.com profile] womenlovefest. You can find all my posts under my love me hate me tag.

So far I have a few gifs and meta for Nyota, and a rec for Gaila. If you guys wanna see me do anything else, just drop me a comment on one of the posts.
3rd-Sep-2011 04:52 am - Femdom Uhura?
Does anyone know of any fics featuring Uhura in a femdom role? I'd be open to other ST women in such a role too. Het, poly, or femmeslash if fine. Thanks!
21st-Jan-2011 02:24 pm - FIC Rec: No Constant Thing - Complete
Title: No Constant Thing
Author: polar_realm
Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Uhura POV, Uhura/Spock/Gaila
Word Count: 4278
Summary: Spock, Uhura and Gaila reconnect and heal in the aftermath of Vulcan. No explicit content.

Why this must be read:
"Not anger, not even sorrow. Just emptiness, all afterimage and echo, that strange, hollow absence that remains when the worst has come and gone and left you drifting in its wake."

The whole fic is filled with lines like this. And Uhura is BAMF and wonderful.

I posted this already on [livejournal.com profile] mccoy_chapel and [livejournal.com profile] trek_het and then realized I'd forgotten this comm.

So without further ado, I bring you fic recs of the hot variety including much het, a few femslash, and some threesome deliciousness (f/m/m and f/f/m). I found these by happily reviewing my memories and delicious and remembering how awesome these stories were and how much I loved them.

Pairings include everything from McCoy/Chapel to Kirk/Joanna and everything in between.

Link: hot recs ahoy

Hope you enjoy! Feel free to rec stories that I may have missed.

5th-Jan-2010 10:03 pm - Orion Rec-List

You may have noticed how obsessed with Orions I have been recently... As a part of my obsession, I have created an Orions-centred rec-list of fanfiction, drabbles and artwork.

If you think it may be relevant to your interests, it isHERE.

21st-Dec-2009 07:32 pm - Fics about Uhura?
Hi,
I was wondering if there were any good Uhura stories, which are about her as a person and officer or cadet, not about her relationship with Spock or someone else. She is the most prominent female character in XI, yet I feel like she is simply "hero´s girlfriend" and that troubles me :(
