Actually with Trek, and this is not to say there isnt "some good" fan stuff, but for some reason, fan made Trek media tends to be Great on visuals Horrible at diolouge and delivery, Take Hidden frontier for one example (phase2/formally New voyages is an exception, it is well done) Hidden frontier gets kudos for being "ambitious as Hell:" and ive seen some Great awesome ship battles, i remember one episode where major Kira and the defiant comes warping in with a Dominion Fleet with her, to save the day at the Briar patch vs the Breen and Tholians. BUT..that being said..The acting was HORRID and they really had a problem with technobabble to the extreme, Novel wise, okay, i have read some great stories, Like that one (title eludes me) where in mirror universe 7 of 9 is an agent for the cardassians and undercover, becomes Kira/Intendents Lesbian Mistress..smoking hot erotic writing adult Trek, at its best. (i'm a perv so sexuality in Trek is a huge win-win for me, i'm one of the saps who drooled at T'pols massage and decontamination scenes and i'lll admit it every time lol)
