Dear Captain Janeway, The Doctor, Tuvok, Neelix, Kes, Harry, Tom, B'elanna, Seven, and- most of all- Chakotay,


Thank you for being such constant companions the last four and a half months. I've had one hell of a year, and I can't imagine I'd have stayed nearly as sane as I have without your assistance; I certainly don't think I'd have survived the winter intact. You've become iconic in our home, and I feel in many ways that you're now part of the family. I've come to the end of the seven seasons, finally, with mixed emotions. Luckily, I always know how to find you.

I know you will never read this (and yes, I am aware you are not real people), but if you were, I'm sure you'd be happy to know that I'm learning to deal with my medical difficulties, and am preparing to try having a life again. It is a daunting concept, but when I'm feeling down, I will just conjur up the memories of stretching out on the couch in the studio and becoming immersed for a little while in your stories, along with my housemates and friends. Words cannot properly convey the level of gratitude I have for your presence in my life. You're welcome back at any time.

With much love,

violachic

i am glad that you have had people to be their to support you this past year when things have been really rough for you. its nice to have friends that support each other through the ups and the downs in our lives.

A lot of my hard-core Trekkie friends didn't think much of STV, but I usually enjoyed it. (I think the writing on DS9 was usually better, though.)

Amy, this is extremely sweet. :-)

Matt Chandler says hello. Lisa and I ran into him at the peace march yesterday. I swear, I met half the people I know in Portland there yesterday. It was pretty crazy.

Wow, you finished it? That was... a lot of Star Trek. Sadly, you finished it just when I finally have time for some escapism :)

Er... wrong button. That was meant for the main thread.

I want to be Captain Janeway when I grow up.

I agree that the writing on DS9 is stronger (from the little I've seen of it), but there's a certain amount of pathos you get from Voyager that you don't get from other Star Trek incarnations that really draws me in. Besides, once I got ensconced in watching it, I really had to see how things played out!

I knew I couldn't go to any marches, and that made me sad. I'm glad you guys all got to one!

It wouldn't take much arm-twisting to get me to re-watch a bunch of episodes....

Oh yea- and I have a huge crush on Cmdr Chakotay. But really, who doesn't?

[plethorax.livejournal.com]

Yes, but arm-twisting is fun! ;)

Lonney agrees... except when Chakotay goes into the pseudo-NA mystical stuff. But that's all the writers' fault. And she still thinks Cisko has the Hotness Edge.

Personally, I liked Seven. ;D

yep, we marched our little feet off for you. :-)
