/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

They know how to write well. They got paid to write well. They built their lives around writing well.
They wrote about heroes saving the world, therefore they wrote good.
That what they wrote is so memorable to us means they wrote well.
Thanks for the clarification, Tracy
They know how to write. Well, they got paid to write. Well, they built their lives around writing. Well, ...
Now this is well writing!
Are you 16 getting an A in English class?
Yes?
Well, when you get to college, they'll teach you that writing can have intentional errors, including grammar errors, to achieve a specific effect in the mind of the reader. In your mind, the effect was "I gotta correct this guy on the internet. I won't bother checking his comment history, I'm just gonna assume he doesn't know what an adverb is."
Oh, your choice was bad then.
Whooosh
