TO BOLDLY GO FROM ZINE TO AO3: A Study of Fanfiction Culture in the Star Trek Fandom by TheWriter2

Summary
ABSTRACT:
Fanfiction, or the practice of writing fiction about characters from a specific movie, TV show, or book is a practice that has existed for decades. Commonly attributed to the fanzines created by Star Trek fans in the 1960s, fanfiction has become an international phenomenon. Fanfiction is largely shared online and as a result, my research was conducted in an online setting. After speaking to eleven Star Trek fans who read or write fanfiction and reading the stories they selected for me to illustrate their interests, I have concluded that fanfiction is larger than its written works. Fanfiction is a community and a vessel for social commentary. My findings show how online communities are just as complicated as in-person communities, as well as how further studies of fanfiction communities may provide insight into how individuals regulate informal communities. -

And now Jim was on his way to Vulcan.Surak's teachings don't take a hold in Vulcan society for over a hundred years. Now, new to peace, Vulcan is looking for admission to the Federation. But fear and stubborn hearts are digging their feet into the sand, threatening the fragile peace that has been created.

A few moments pass before Spock speaks again. “What do you dream about?”
Jim isn’t sure what is about this younger version of Spock, but somehow he understands him better than he ever did his First Officer.

Summary
Spock considers himself generally indifferent to the idea of physical contact. Through a mixture of his culture and personal disposition, he has never had a need for the brief touches and lingering grips that humans often yearn for.
And then something (someone) happens to change all of that.

Summary
Lan Wangji gets emotionally blackmailed by a toddler. It somehow fixes everything.
“You two act like young parents with their first child,” Granny said after Lan Wangji ended up with Wen Yuan sleeping against his chest once again. “Not wanting to let him go or hear him cry.”
“Aw, but Granny, don’t we make a cute couple with our little one?” Wei Ying teased, tipping to the side to lay his head on Lan Wangji’s unoccupied shoulder.
Granny reached over and pinched Wei Ying’s cheek while Lan Wangji tried to pretend his heart wasn’t suddenly trying to pound out of his chest at how close Wei Ying was.

Summary
“Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”
“I think so,” Sizhui says.
“To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.
“Yes,” Sizhui says.
“So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”
Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.
(Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)
