I have now reached the point in the shiny new fandom where I am annoyed about the fact that there's not new fic for me to read every second of the day. or, well. There probably is, but I'm picky. or not even picky, I just don't want to read about Spock. There, I said it! I liked him, but have no interest in reading about his peen.

I am also still having problems with picturing Sulu in fic as John Cho. Like, I was never a big fan of TOS, so when I'm reading fic, I'm all, 'yes yes, McCoy is Karl Urban and Kirk is that blond pretty boy,' so on and so on with no problem. but when it comes to Sulu, there's, like, this sequence in my head that goes along the lines of, 'okay, John Cho is Sulu, but Sulu is Japanese, but John Cho is not = DOES NOT COMPUTE.' because, really. I think John Cho looks so Korean he could be selling Milkis on a restaurant calendar.

I suspect most people don't have this problem. SIGH.

Anyways, I wanted to share these two prompts from st_xi_kink because OMG SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRITE THEM RIGHT NOW NOW NOW:

1. I first came to Starfleet on the trail of the killers of my father, and for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, have remained as an officer aboard the starship Enterprise.

2. Sirius Black/Leonard McCoy: Sirius falls through The Veil and, poof! All of the sudden he's on the USS Enterprise. Confusion, hilarity, and sexytimes ensue. (in the interest of full disclosure, this one is mine. so, y'know. WRITE IT.)

SERIOUSLY. These need to be written. NEEEEEEEEED.

bah. I still need more ST icons. This one is close enough.

eta: AND OMG THIS: Kirk/Reaper(Karl Urban's character from Doom) On shore leave Kirk runs into a guy who looks a LOT like Bones (can be whatever reason, coincidence, relative) and things happen

There are other people I have seen talking about the Sulu thing. John Cho said in an interview that he was told by ST people that Rodenberry named Sulu after some Sea in Asia that was supposed to touch almost all the land masses there or something, so he was supposed to represent that region more than any particular country. Then they gave him a Japanese first name later in the series because George Takei is Japanese.

I know that probably doesn't help anything. But at least you know you aren't the only one who noticed?

yah, I've read that before, and, like. In a way I'm all, 'okay, yes, I get that, that makes sense,' but then I *look* at them and I'm all, 'HMM.'

I think maybe I just need to watch the movie a few more times. :D

Hee. That's just a sacrifice you will need to make, I guess. At least they cast someone *much* cuter for Chekov or we would be deprived of so much hot prons! ;)
