#And obviously I'd throw in some Janeway/Chakotay fluff because cannon can go jump in a lake

so in the past month-ish there have been two separate instances where a friend of mine has had reason to show me that the fandoms I enjoy (namely star trek and a niche book series I'm obsessed with) have thriving fanfiction communities (context: While I did already know this about Star Trek, I have never read fanfiction or dove into that corner of the internet b/c I find it a little intimidating lol)

Anyways I've been thinking about Star Trek Voyager a little too much, specifically the ending and how unsatisfying it is.

There's a little voice in the back of my head telling me to spend what little free time I have writing something from the perspective of various crewmembers like a month after the Voyager gets back to Earth. It would inevitably be bad and I know this but like what iffffff?????????

#Like I could have all these scenes where the crew deals with the little shit of normal life after literally 7 years of being on high alert #Especially Janeway #And obviously I'd throw in some Janeway/Chakotay fluff because cannon can go jump in a lake #And OOOUUUGHHH!!! 7 of 9 dealing with being in a fucking society all of a suddennnnnnnn #But like beyond that. I feel like there was so much story to tell about these people that the show just didn't address #They get back to Earth and it just fades to black. That's lame #I'm just such a perfectionist when it comes to my own writing so IDK if working with pre-existing characters would help or make it worse #Who knows. If in a month I come back to this post and say something like “lol guess what I just finished writing” yall can make fun of me #fanfiction #star trek #star trek voyager #star trek: voyager #kathryn janeway #captain janeway #7 of 9 #seven of nine #voyager #st voyager
