Soledad's Journal

I've posted another short essay to the Otherworlds board, titled Gemoni Society and Religious Beliefs. In a slightly different version, it can also be read in the 13th chapter of "The Lost Warrior", but since I decided to put up all the background stuff I've created to the original Galactica, I thought this excerpt would work well in that.

I must admit, that the Gemoni twins as shown in the Galactica pilot spawned all this dualistic religion stuff - and taking it to the extreme - the whole Gemini society. But I had fun doing that (religious dualism and it affect on Christianity was an interesting topic when I studied Catholic theology), so I thought I'd share it.

If you're an Original Trek fan, you mustn't miss Laura Goodwin's essay, The Vulcan Penis Problem. No, it's completely harmless, despite the provocative title - it discusses the lack of creativity of smut writers when it comes to Vulcan mating habits, and that in a way that's not just completely neutral but also hilarious.

I cross-posted this to telekis_vendiak. One can recommend essays as well, right?

I've posted the third and final part of my Voyager essay to the Otherworlds board. It's about wasted characters and plot ideas, basically.

Comments are very welcome.

I've posted an Ages-old essay of me to the Otherworlds board. Originally, it was written as an appendix to The Bitter Gift of Confession, back before the NC-17 ban of FF.Net. I used to be a little upset about people only seeing the frame in which the so-called "message" was presented - or at least I thought they did.

However, I find that I still agree with most of what I wrote back then, so I thought perhaps people would be interested. If that is the case, the essay can be found here:
