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. -

Summary
Toral, Jim’s Andorian classmate, humored Jim’s curiosity about the Vulcans and told him all they had learned.

Forty years ago, a young Vulcan uncovered the writings of his forefather and began to spread a message of peace.The warring factions came to an agreement and an era of peace spread across the desert planet.
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.
Despite all that, this remains a love story. -

“Tell me later, Spock,” Jim says softly, tugging Spock closer. “Right now, just kiss me.” -

Summary
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
“He will not be swayed. He does not see reason. At least not my reason,” Lan Wangji adds as an afterthought. Wei Ying is many things, but not unreasonable.
“Reason is often not the most persuasive argument,” Xichen states mildly. “Perhaps there is another way that his stance can be influenced.”
Frowning, Lan Wangji asks, “What way?”
He eyes him from the side. “One that appeals to his heart rather than his mind. His heart, and… well. His body.”
His-
Lan Wangji flushes.
“Xiongzhang.”
(Or, Lan Wangji decides to court Wei Wuxian in an intimate manner when he leaves for the Burial Mounds, and it somehow changes everything.)

Summary
Though the Cultivation War ended nearly two years ago, Wei Wuxian and the Wen Remnants are barely surviving. When Wei Wuxian hears of a Marriage Competition for Lan Xichen's hand, the solution becomes obvious: go to the Cloud Recesses, get Lan Xichen to fall in love with him, and save his family from certain death.
Wei Wuxian is clever and charming, and becomes fast friends with the First Jade. Everything is going well, but for one small problem: Lan Xichen's angry younger brother, who occupies far too many of Wei Wuxian's thoughts.

Summary
Accidentally cursed, Lan Qiren is forced to live within Wei Wuxian's mind for days, experiencing his every thought and sensation. Much as he disapproves of demonic cultivation, resistant as he is to every excuse, he can't help growing to understand the young cultivator.
After leaving Lan Zhan to his important work as the Chief Cultivator, Wei Wuxian travels the world. Adventuring, righting wrongs, and developing new talismans is great fun, but what he really wants is a home.

Summary
Most would find it beneath their station to even consider travelling out. But not Hanguang-jun. Beneath a cold jade exterior, beat a heart warm and compassionate. For him, duty and love were not always so different. No matter how insignificant, he would always be there for those in need.
Wei Wuxian never needed convincing when it came to Lan Wangji. It was more than the will of some greater force—Wei Wuxian would always long to be by his side in this second life. But before they had set out from Gusu, he had uttered a single sentence that only tempered his resolve further.
“It's taking the children.”
A visit to a village with a little corpse problem leads to a little more than Wei Wuxian or Lan Wangji bargained for.

Summary
“Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”
