  My compliments to you and your brother’s girlfriend! It looks like it could be a backdrop for one of those stop motion films!

  Very cool! What did you use for the black material underneath?

  This is about the best thing I could have hoped for, so I really hope it doesn’t get taken down! (but then again, the for-profit Fandom wiki farm hasn’t taken down Breezewiki or other mirror sites yet, so maybe corporations figure this sort of thing isn’t worth the effort to take down.🤞

  I might not have even close to the same level of experience watching Star Trek as everyone else, but I think you can’t go wrong with starting her on on TNG. My dad started me on TNG, and I’ve been a huge fan of it ever since. It’s perfect for a new fan, since the show still makes sense even without watching the other series (though he has also shown me some of the original movies). And it lacks a lot of the sexism present in the OG series, which can be a turn off.

  Though I found the first episode a little boring, it quickly got awesome as it went on. I’ve only watched that show and Discovery, but I’m pretty sure it will stay my favorite. The characters are likeable, Picard’s a strong leader, and Data is a great foil for the rest of the cast.

  I mainly lurked on the art and fanfic forums, and considered getting an account when I had the time/had created something worth sharing on there. But when I learned about the disabling of apps to improve accessibility…I started looking for alternatives.

  Plus, I don’t like the idea of the karma system on there. Supposedly, it reduces the number of trolls and low effort posts, but I’ve seen it cause people to post ragebait to karma farm on subreddits that reward you with upvotes for making up outrageous stories. I’ve also seen “debate” subreddits where people downvote people who make good points, but disagree with. Then those people leave, not wanting to be punished on other subreddits that require a high amount of karma to post, leading to “debate” subreddits that are laughably one-sided.
