spock_uhura Community Rules
Welcome to spock_uhura, your first Live Journal source for everything Spock/Uhura from the Star Trek series. The community is focused on both the Original Series and films and the new film released in 2009. Join and watch the community to have access to all the posts. This community aims to be a friendly place for Fans of Color (FOC); if you have race issues, latent or otherwise, this is not the place for you. We have had new members join Live Journal just for us (!). If you are new to Live Journal we recommend taking a look at the official FAQ. Be sure to read the community rules before posting and commenting, and again welcome!
