Star Trekkin' Across the Universe

[jedibuttercup]

I'm watching a few old TOS episodes to refresh my memory today. For various reasons, I've started with "The Conscience of the King", and OMG. *laughs* I'd forgotten just how accurate Pine's portrayal of Kirk's behavior with women really is.

The science can still go hang, but every time I watch the movie I get even more impressed with all the love and detail they lavished on the remake in other ways. I love this 'verse, I really do.

... The adolescent Hogwarts escapees writing "Supuhura" and "Spirk" fanfiction, however? *wince* Overall, the quality of new Trek fanfiction on LJ has been extremely high and very enjoyable, but there are already a couple of comms I think I'm going to have to defriend before they harsh my squee.

Based on my gut feeling, there are two options here.

a) It's a fic sub-genre where the main plot is asking Uhura what's going on

b) Someone can't spell "Spuhura".

I honestly couldn't tell you. Beyond the fact that they seem to feel it means "Spock/Uhura". I'd have guessed (b) myself, but it's not just one person doing it. *scratching head*

Perhaps one of us should post a question to the Community asking what it means...

And then ask when "S/U" went out of style.
