I'm lying here reading in bed, lazy on a Sunday morning, when something struck me. I realized what bothers me about so much of the modern Trek that people are writing in the 2009 movie universe.

Nice rant!
Some otherwise good tales have been ruined by Jim Kirk sounding like a soured Yuppie or Gen-X'er. By the time of the XI movie, we're probably onto some symbols in Kanji to indicate what generation he's from.
So - got any good NewTrek to share with an old friend??

Actually, there's some really good stuff out there. Here's a wide variety of stuff I liked, including my favorites

Also, how are you? Back from the trip to Mobile?

I hope you don't mind that I'm posting here rather randomly. Your stories showed me something beyond that which I previously knew in fandom, a poetological level of self-reflection namely that I have rarely seen equalled in other pieces. My purpose now is simple - I'd like to thank you for putting out a challenge, for reminding those such as myself of the history we find ourselves in, the legacy there is to hold up

[sundara]

Firstly, thank you for your comments about my stories! I'm quite happy they've touched you on such a depth, because God knows, I felt them deeply while writing them

We are on an edge of an evolutionary leap, and whether people understand that consciously or not, they are attuned to the inner realities that fuel such things. Destruction is an element of change, sometimes a necessary one....I think Star Trek 2009 is only mirroring those elements within its own universe
