We’ve been getting pings and @’s all morning about ebooks-tree.com who seem to be scraping/taking stories off of AO3 and hosting them as PDFs and mobi downloads on their site; the site seems to be pulling from UrBookLibrary as well. They’re not reading your “do not copy/duplicate” notes on your AO3 fic; their bots are pulling things directly from AO3, without AO3′s authorization or assent. It looks like they are pulling from Wattpad too, again without authorization or assent.

While the Ebooks-Tree DMCA page seems to imply that you need a lawyer or other “authorized person” to submit a takedown notice, you don’t; you can do it yourself.

Kate Mulgrew's long-awaited autobiography, Born With Teeth -- A Memoir, will be released on April 14 by Little, Brown and Company. Over the course of the book's 320 pages, Star Trek's Captain Janeway recounts her upbringing, discusses the early days of her career, shares anecdotes about the child she put up for adoption and, of course, delves into her career, which spans from soap operas to television to movies and includes Star Trek: Voyager.

About The Event

Prepare for an especially tasty Viewing Party. Spock will pop his mind meld cherry with a Human being. What snaps Kirk out of crazy-arsed hypnosis as if it were only a bellyache? Learn how to wear your shirt the Kirk way. Be prepared for shamelessly obvious eye sex, no, eye porn, on the bridge. And is there a deeper meaning to the fact that Kirk's diet is mentioned in the same episode as his talent for cheating his way out of trouble?

Also: Gratuitous shots of naked, glistening Kirk!flesh. (Take that, male gaze!)

Join us for an entertaining TOS Viewing Party at T'Lara's Cinema of Squee. We are going to host a science fiction double feature, with the two episodes Dagger Of The Mind & The Corbomite Maneuver.

Stock up on Romulan Ale and popcorn, and polish your slash goggles!

You can watch the stream either on Livestream or on KirkSpockSlash (tab "cinema").

We start at 1 pm PST / 4 pm EST / 9 pm GMT.

(Reuters) - A North Carolina town councilman planning to run for U.S. Congress has quit his post by submitting a resignation letter in Klingon, the language of a fictional extraterrestrial warrior species on the "Star Trek" TV and film series.

David Waddell said he used Klingon to resign from the Indian Trail Town Council on Thursday because the fierce-looking science fiction characters valued integrity, honor and duty.

The letter indicated that Waddell, whose four-year term is up in December 2015, plans to resign at the end of this month.

"Teach (the) city (the) constitution," said the English translation. "I will return next time to (witness) victory."

Hi fellow Star Trek enthusiasts!

I made a drawing of Christine Chapel at my journal. I'd post it here but I don't have an image host figured out yet.

Enjoy!

The DAEDALUS needs you!

Welcome to the USS Daedalus. This is an all original character cast crewing the Rhode-island-class science vessel Daedalus, on her mission to explore the Delta Quadrant. We are looking for good, enthusiastic writers to help take up the mantle at any one of our open spots. We have dozens of open positions available for the picking, so make sure to check us out! This roleplay is for anyone who is interested in Trek continuity, who enjoys writing and who is an active participant in collaborative writing. This roleplay uses the very intuitive Nova software to make writing between multiple people simple and fun. If you love Star Trek, roleplaying and writing, the Daedalus is for you.

Under the command of accomplished scientist and scholar, the eccentric Commander Maenad Panne and determined first officer Zia Shassun lead the Daedalus and its diverse crew into the unknown. Their mission is to seek out new life and new civilisations in the barely-charted Delta Quadrant while avoiding the countless predators that will undoubtedly try to kill them. In a region of space where Starfleet is small and regulations are more ideas to aspire toward than commandments, the Daedalus frequently improvises what's best as it fumbles its way through the stars.

"It is the invariable lesson to humanity that distance in time, and in space as well, lends focus. It is not recorded, incidentally, that the lesson has ever been permanently learned."
