Here's a few links on the actual craft of writing that I've found helpful.

http://www.englishchick.com/badfic/ - Badfic! No Biscuit! An old site (in frames), but just as useful. It looks at intentionally badly written fan fiction to show how to write good fan fiction and also gives a few writing lessons like how to write a good sex scene or how to beat your Mary Sue into submission.

http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/art/scene.php - How to write the perfect scene. This is why I feel I don't ever have to write an in-depth outline. All I need to do is look at the last scene I wrote to determine what needs to happen next.

http://www.advancedfictionwriting.com/art/snowflake.php - This teaches the "Snowflake" method of outlining.

http://www.subreality.com/marysue.htm - The Mary Sue Avator Society - Another old, but useful webpage. This is the most informative Mary Sue site I've found on the net.

Okey dokey pokies,

I have added all this goodness to

http://www.trekref.info/

and more!

Never really checked out that animated series before (since I was -6 when it aired and it never really did huge in the syndication market). Laughing But check out these bitchin' graphics:

Strangely, the screen doesn't look much different from the real one:

And I bet this graphic will piss Rigil off:
(since he has been subjected so recently and repeatedly to frighteningly similar painted screenshots of alien worlds.)
