Ships I like to read:
Janeway/Chakotay (my OTP)
Janeway/Paris (only in fanfiction J/C is my OTP)
Tom/B'elanna (not many on FF.net)
Genres I like:

Episode tags
Missing scene

Time travel
Romance

AU- Have not read a good J/C AU please recommend.
Next generation -- canon characters' children: Never found a FF for J/C.
Recommendations for tags/subcategories of genre you like to read.
Love that Star Trek accurately portrays humans in the future as being DTF practically anything. Works wonders for diplomacy.
"Sure I don't find you attractive, but give me ten minutes, your Excellency, and I'll find someone on this ship who's into tentacles and slime."
We may not be super intelligent or super strong, but give humans a chance. We're annoyingly likeable, tenacious, stubborn, and attracted to the weirdest things.
I made this for my kid to show her why soundtracks are a Big Deal but uh if anyone has any requests I will happily cut your unhinged song into a Trek clip.
I love trek so much man... the silly holodeck episodes and the philosophical, ethical questions episodes, the social issue episodes, going back in time to wear a stupid hat, alien romance, crews that are a big family / polycule, the glittery fabrics for no reason just because it looks futuristic, all aliens look kinda human but it's ok. and its core. hope and faith in humanity. making us look forward to a better future and giving us the keys to imagining it. metaphors for current issues. we're just so lucky to have this show
When you feel like you can't write, yet have the time. DO IT.
Your writing might not make sense. It might not be in your final draft. But it is all apart of the process to flush out new ideas. It might not be good but at least you got the ideas you have on 'paper'. Writing is a muscle that needs to be worked on and built over time.
