A blast from the past

[prelocandkanar]

I was cleaning out a closet in the basement, and I stumbled upon my Star Trek notebooks from (gulp!) 1974. (I was 17.) In them, I have:

• the program from the 1974 ST Con at the Commodore Hotel in New York,
• a Star Trek Trivia Quiz I wrote,
• an essay I wrote, "Vulcan: The Planet and the People,"
• a fandom vocabulary,
• a listing of Star Trek fanzines, along

I might have to insist that you post that trivia quiz, so that we can all geek out together / at each other. Just sayin'.

... In my relative newishness to total raving trekkiedom, I have to say that I'm not a little jealous of your archive!

OK, quiz posted! Plus I posted the "Nightingale Woman" poem, too. I just wish I could find my stash of fanzines. I suspect that I might have gotten rid of them somewhere along the way. *sob*

I'd love to see those poems. :oD

I can't say I've experienced the same, since I'm so much younger, but I did find some truly horrific (yet at the same time, beautifully enthusiastic) fanfic I wrote when I was about 12. About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yeah. I never finished. And just as well. I doubt I'd want anyone to read that. OMG.

But in general I'm anal about keeping everything I've ever jotted down anywhere, so I have notebooks, folders, loose pages of random paper I happened to write/doodle on from... oh gosh, all my life, I suspect. Makes for interesting reading every time I have to clear out the basement. ;o)
