An in-depth analysis on James T. Kirk from both universes...

"The greatest danger facing us is ourselves, an irrational fear of the unknown. There is no such thing as the unknown - only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood." ~ Jim Kirk, 'The Corbomite Maneuver'

Thanks for the link, darling. I've lost it through time and it was wonderful to go visit that post again.

I see the same problem in the Harry Potter fandom, especially in regards to Harry's portrayal. Canonically, he's a brilliant student when an instructor (ie Remus) takes genuine positive interest in instructing him and gives him positive direction. When the opposite happens (ie Snape), the opposite naturally occurs. Urgh.
Can't you see Harry and Jim meeting in some interdimensional watering hole, complaining about how people misrepresent them? ;)

Harry and Jim would have a field day plotting. ;-)

You're right. I'm nor really anonymous in my Kirk lovin' either. In fact, I've made it blatantly obvious (if this post didn't, my fics sure have, lol). You know, I was trying to be cute with that title but I think it needs changing. Kirk lover and proud! ;)
As for AOS Kirk being young yet and rough around the edges, oh hell yes, watching him learn how to manipulate the system is going to be great fun. XD
Of course he will stumble on the way, of course he will, Kirk lover that I am, even I admit that he was promoted too soon in AOS. But I will say this for him, another great thing about the character, he's one of those who does learn from his mistakes (<- pretty much summed up the entire plot of 'Undiscovered Country', didn't I? ;))
Edited for clarification.

This was such a beautiful tribute, really, to one of my all-time favourite characters. I agree completely on all points! :)

So I was going through my flist and I noticed that YOU HAVE WRITTEN A FIC! OMG, YAY!!!!!!
... the only problem being that I haven't seen 'The Eagle' yet *sheepish grin*. Need to do that so I can read said fic. I've got all this incentive now. :D

I don't think you need to know a whole lot about The Eagle in order to follow the plot of my story lol. It's mostly porn. Ear porn. But you should definitely check out The Eagle whether you decide to read my fic or not :D
