lgbt and race issues/tos rewrites in reboot universe/femslash

[svollga.livejournal.com]

1. I have a somewhat vague request. Basically, I want stories which devote some meaningful time to exploring issues of gender, sexuality and race in Star Trek universe. (I've read everything written for LGBTfest.) Spock goes through kolinahr to purge himself from either wanting a man, or a human. A new planed discovered by Reboot Enterprise is colonised by mysogynists who keep women as slaves, and Uhura kicks their collective ass. They travel to the alternate universe where white humans are an oppressed minority.
Either TOS or Reboot, and for this one, I don't care much about pairings.

2. Events of TOS rewritten for the Reboot universe. How did it go here?

3. Femslash (Uhura with any other female character) with an active plot and action (and girls kicking ass, yes, I have this kink).

Pretty pretty please :)

This one has breif mentions of Uhura/Gaila and Kirk/Spock : http://kitausu.livejournal.com/11884.html

I think this one qualfies. Charcters are Gaila and T'Pring : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6076059/1/One_Half_the_World

Where can I find the LGBTfest?

operation80 is a community devoted to rewriting TOS episodes in the Reboot universe. Hopefully you might find something to your liking :)

you'll find some of these searches covered in Observations (http://anon-j-anon.livejournal.com/30674.html). Specifically, there are rewrites of several episodes, and chapters that address equality and treatment of differences.

Thank you!
I see that you've been linked to LGBTfest already :)

Oh, this is brilliant! Thank you :)

Thank you! Someone recced me this fic some time ago, but I haven't got to it yet. Now I definitely will!

Seconding Observations! It really gets into issues of prejudice and racism in a serious way.

A few other fics:
Faultlines
http://what-alchemy.livejournal.com/2374.html#cutid1
Takes the well worn fanfic trope of genderswap and thinks hard about it. The summary reads "Conveniently placed flowers turn Spock into a woman. No one’s happy about it."



Riotverse (Uhura/Gaila is one of the pairings for this fic)
http://jane-potter.livejournal.com/tag/riotverse
In particular, there's an Uhura-centric fic in here where Uhura is beaten down so hard by life and in response, kicks unbelievable amounts of ass. Seriously, the Uhura fic for this series made me cry.

Though the Uhura/Gaila part doesn't happen until the Gaila-centric chapter, which is a great fic for highlighting cultural misunderstandings and how they leads to racism (the whole series is great for this). Gaila is really, truly an alien in this fic with a totally different culture and biology than humans and some humans just don't get it. :

This verse is AU where humans ended up allied with the Orions after the Vulcans turned their backs on them so, um yeah, it's dark. And it's pirate!fic so there's some seriously exciting action sequences. This author can really write action sequences in a way that's both clear and super-duper exciting.



The Law of Definite Proportions

Intersex Kirk. Gets into the nitty, gritty of Kirk having ambiguous genitalia and being very vulnerable when presenting said genitalia to a new partner.

And a couple rewrites of TOS episodes:

Observations really is my all time fav for TOS reboot. The City on the Edge of Forever rewrite particularly stands out.

Standing on the Precipice - reboots City on the Edge of Forever

All Our Yesterdays (the All or Nothing Remix) - reboots, yeah, All Our Yesterdays
http://dreamlittleyo.livejournal.com/157619.html

No Twilight Galaxy - reboots The Doomsday Machine

Oooh! I've been looking for that first fic listed on that page: Arena (the Walk Without Rhythm remix). I'd rec it too.

And another really cool fic I'd forgotten where I'd read and stupidly hadn't bookmarked: Journey to Babel (the Urge to Fall remix).

Thanks to both of you for posting this rec request and pointing out this awesome comm :D

And this one is a cute retelling of the Horta episode with Spock Prime and a surprise guest star:

Here (http://www.delicious.com/csad/bundle:startrek%3A2009%20episode-tags) are a few stories I found with TOS episodes/scenes rewritten.

As for femslash, I would suggest going through AO3's tags, for example Gaila/Uhura (http://archiveofourown.org/works?selected_tags[tags][]=9630&selected_tags[tags][]=9833&boolean_type=and&tag_id=Star+Trek+%282009%29&commit=Filter+Works), since I have this strong suspicion none of the stories there will ever be badfic (or at least I have yet to see one there, so I could be wrong).
