Star Trek recommendation
Yeah, a blast from the past.
I honestly have no idea if any one of you has had some experience with it as a fandom. The subject never came up. However, I'll assume you all know the Roddenberry's creation. If not, please share what you think of your visit to our messed up planet.
In any case, I recently got a chance to download and watch the whole The Original Series. I'm in the process now, and I already stumbled upon an episode I never watched before. I don't know your feelings about TOS, but I appreciate it highly.
Again, back to the point. The actual recommendation. Since I need only one episode of anything to start searching for fanfiction, I remembered (and am now reading) the stories of one universe that completely coloured my perception of Star Trek Universe. Made it into something far deeper then the TV screen ever showed.
The author's name is Istannor and although, af far as I know, he/she hasn't been active in the fandom for years - the universe created remains unparalleled. In my honest and humble opinion.
There also more stories in what author considers his/her canon and a parallel universe. They are all well worth reading.
If I'll ever have the time later on to create my personal list of the best fanfiction authors of all fandoms and of all times - this author will be in the top five. And as someone who has 15 years experience in dozens of fandoms, plus gigabytes worth of stories stored on the hard drive, I do not say something like that lightly.
