Some of those guidelines are very reasonable!
Some of them are explicitly disallowing things that would otherwise be legal, which makes me angry.
For example:
- You can't register the copyright of the things you've produced, because you produced them in service of Star Trek? Bullshit, that I hate.
- You can't sell merch for your fan production, even if you don't use any Paramount owned shit in it? Bullshit that I hate.
- No physical media? Fuck that!
- You can't pay anyone involved? That's fucking bullshit!
- Anyone who has ever been in a Star Trek thing can't participate. Why? (Specifically to exclude Tim Russ and George Takei, presumably, but also perhaps to exclude James Cawley and others who were involved in existing fan productions who had *also* cameoed in various actual Star Trek productions.)
And then, of course, no more than 15 minutes per thing, and no more than two things per group. No sequels, no series, no seasons, nothing of proper episode length.
Anyway, all of that is to say: The fact that Paramount controls what can and can't be #starTrek is why we need #communityMedia
and it's why I started working on #JupitersGhost
No one can tell you what to do with the #SolarFederation, not even me!
Well, that's not entirely true. I can tell you one thing: whatever you do with the #JG universe you have to give back to the JG universe ( #CCBYSA)
But, if you find yourself looking for a place to tell space stories, and you want to settle in to an existing universe rather than writing your own, take a look at https://intergalactic.computer/social
And the reception of the Abrams films was mixed. You wouldn't know it looking at their reviews today, but opinions were Divided.
Casual viewers ate them up, but hardcore fans absolutely hated it. And they were Loud. They weren't critics, they weren't viewers. They didn't make the films fail, but they did Talk. A lot. On youtube, and in comic book shops, and in letters to Paramount.
And, I can't speak for every one of those nerd, but at least the ones around me were *firmly* of the opinion that the true spirit of Star Trek lived on, not in the cinema but in the fan films on youtube.
@ajroach42 The Abrams flicks and VGR being the dumbest thing I'd ever seen (it has since been exceeded), killed my interest in "New Trek". The spirit of Real Star Trek lived in GalaxyQuest and Stargate SG-1, and hard-ish SF books by Alastair Reynolds, Neal Asher, and "James SA Corey".
What Paramount does now is at best a diversion; I loved Lower Decks, because it talks about Real Star Trek, but it's not a replacement for it. And of course they knifed it in its bunk early.

Do you know the origin of this scene?

Lower Decks makes every joke we as fans have always made and asks all the questions. To great comic effect. See it ASAP.
Think of the other new stuff the way we think about “Angel One” vs. “Chains of Command” … there will be some truly Bad Stuff to have good stuff too.
All the people working on new trek today are True Fans. They aren't perfect at their craft (no one is) but they have sufficient reverence.
I realized the 60th anniversary of #StarTrek is coming up on Sept 8, 2026 - only 363 days away! By my count, there's 725 episodes of TOS/TAS/TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT plus 10 movies. Maybe I'll go watch them all in broadcast order. If I start now and watch ~2 episodes a day (plus the films), I could finish everything right on time for the big day. After that... will I dive into the reboot/expansion era? Not sure about that stuff... #AllStarTrek
In questo giorno del 1966, Star Trek irruppe per la prima volta nei salotti americani. Nessuno di noi avrebbe potuto immaginare il viaggio che ci avrebbe portato. E non solo il cast e la troupe, ma i milioni di fan che avrebbero trovato speranza, ispirazione e senso di comunità nella sua visione del futuro.
......
Nel corso dei decenni, mi sono sentito onorato e grato per l'amore che avete dimostrato, non solo a me, ma anche agli ideali di Star Trek: diversità, unità e la convinzione che, insieme, l'umanità possa coraggiosamente arrivare dove nessuno è mai giunto prima. Grazie per il vostro incrollabile sostegno e per aver mantenuto vivo questo sogno in tutti questi anni. Lunga vita e prosperità, sempre.
