Hi,
I was invited by justTripn to make an introduction here if I wanted to (after I originally posted on the "Star Trek Valentine issue" thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1796 two days ago). And yes, I wanted to because I think Triaxiansilk is the coolest site I found online and I'm so happy I found it, you wouldn't believe! So, here goes nothing for an introduction. I'm a 54 year old single female (never married/no kids) living with two older adorable tomcats in a subsidized apartment building for seniors and the disabled here in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've liked Star Trek since TOS originally aired and am enough of a Trekkie that I've seen every episode of every series, all the films, bought Enterprise and Voyager on DVD, wore my uniform to Star Trek conventions, read more fanfic than I can remember, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, I didn't really get into it that heavily though till Voyager - and it took me till Enterprise till I really became seriously addicted. Like I mentioned in my first post, Trip & T'Pol are not only my favorite couple (from any of the series), but they're the #1 thing I like best about Star Trek, period.
As far as how I got interested in Enterprise, oh - that's easy. I've been a huge Scott Bakula fan since Quantum Leap and I was really dying to see it ever since I first heard he was going to be in it. Hell, I'd pay good money to hear that guy read the newspaper even as far as that goes, lol! But as much as I love Scott, what really kind of surprized me about the show was that as much as I like Captain Archer, I really fell head over heels in love with Trip instead and thought the romance between Trip and T'Pol was the best thing Star Trek ever did (even though they didn't go nearly far enough into depth on it as what I wish they had, think fanfic writers could've written far better scripts than they had on the show, etc), I still think Connor and Jolene played their roles brilliantly and did a fantastic job on their romance despite what little they were given to work with there from the idiots in charge of the show (I didn't like TPTB anyway, but I especially hated them for how they screwed us TnT fans over there, that was far worse than how the J/C fans got screwed at the end of Voyager in my opinion anyway.
Okay, as far as my personal playing around with Star Trek goes, I've got screencaps made from Dawn, Stigma & Precious Cargo (nearly all of which are of Trip) as well as the Trip & T'Pol article from the Star Trek magazine Valentine issue up on my fotopic account at
http://marchale.fotopic.net/ - and a warning about my website itself - ahhh, I like to create fakes of certain Enterprise and Voyager characters, but some of them are mildly R rated, so if you're either offended by that type of fan artwork or are too young to get in to an R rated movie, please stay away from there. (I don't want to create any problems at all by mentioning that, but most fans I've heard comments from seem to share my taste for the steamier stuff - it's not quite NC-17 (if you read fanfic, you'll know what I mean by that) but some do go further than a PG-13 type of rating, so for any moms out there, check it out after your kids go to bed and your husband/boyfriend isn't around, lol!).
Take Care, Marchale
P.S. Sorry about the smaller sizes of the pics, I made them back in 2005 and hope to start making more of them soon here - but if anyone reading this could tell me where I could find larger head shots of Trip, T'Pol, Archer, etc to go with the modern size screen resolution body shots on the internet nowdays, I would really appreciate it alot, thanks!
Glad I could be of service, Old Man (and I mean that in the venerable sense).
Looks good on ya.
Great to see another fan of TnT.
