What is this romance thing of which you speak? :huh:

I've read this topic, and I must admit that I'm one of the few who are not a Sci-Fi fan, but the only thing that we care on TV is Star Trek. So if I have to choose as one, I would go with Star Trek Fan. But everyone wants a short term to tag some specific group and Star Trek Fan I think won't work, so my final choice will be Trekker.

Lioness, you're one of the cutest female trekkies I've seen so far, besides Irene Brustad, Madame President and Clathrin.

EDIT: Ooooops, I forgot Inga, Erika Christine and Carolinsche.

Is that so? Well let's see some MSN contancts then.

And yes, it is not obligatory to post them here, you can do it by a PM.

Interests:For this forum - 'Star Trek' obviously! I write fan fiction and am currently in the process of writing a planned series of fan novels based on the joint adventures of Jean-Luc Picard and Shinzon (it's amazing what you can do with a bit of bad science and a huge amount of imagination!). Actually, I've been trekking since 1969 and I love all Star Trek. I have books galore and I collect Art Asylum 7" Star Trek figures as well.Apart from that I love movies, reading, music and occasionally making my own art.

Well don't kill then messenger I was told about the shirt I didn't create it or have I seen it.

I can help out here: there was a time (when I was a fey young thinbg in my 20s) when Spock held a certain allure for women of a certain age ~ I am that age now, and I still don't get the allure (I like my men young, bald, pouty!) ~ and these femmes were often cited at conventions wearing "I Grok Spock" tee-shirts over humungous bosoms. It was the same demographic that also seemed to be exponents of the dodgy, "K/S" slash fiction, and were frequently observed wearing home made badges of smeary HB pencil drawings of Kirk and Spock fondling each others' bare torsos!

It was about the same time that the term "trekkie" came to be regarded as something quite perjorative when applied to fans, and so the term 'trekker' began to apply to the more 'intellectual' and 'cerebral' fan, who shunned the Klingon make-up, the false pointy ear, and above all ............lycra!! Your trekker is the person (like me) who will spout on for ever and ever about the 'deeper meaning' of the shows and movies, while cringing inwardly every time a 'typical' Star Trek fan is portayed by the media as a slightly hysterical, overweight, middle-aged woman in a straining lycra costume....or wearing full Klingon make-up, with a Kleavage that really never should see the light of day!

For me it doesn't matter what term I'm called.
But if I had to choose it would probably be trekkie.

TREKKIE

That's what Gene called us, that's what I refer to myself as. I will say that the whole trekkie/trekker thing nowadays is limited to internet discussion. Outside, in the real world if you tell someone that you like Star Trek they call you a trekkie, they don't even know that the term "trekker" exists.

Also I always say that anyone who likes Star Trek on any level is a trekkie. People who call themselves "trekkers" just seem to be embarassed to call themselves trekkies. "Trekker" seems to me to be the stuck up term

You’re right, I never did notice this thread and your comment. Thank you Eris, it was really sweet :blush5:

I digress… sorry. And the answer to the topic; “Just my name is fine"
