louisebhide bio
 Author has written 9 stories for StarTrek: The Original Series. I'm a journalist so write for a living, but never fiction… until now. In fact, in my other life, I write for television news and current affairs which is why I have an addiction to shorter sentences, showing rather than telling, and a reluctance to use too many adjectives. I tend to see and hear what I write on a screen in my head. Have to rewind and rewrite every time I get it wrong. |

Drastic Measures by Djinn1 reviews
Set after ST:VI and The Enterprise B launch, Spock wants Chapel to accompany him on a Diplomatic/Emergency Ops joint mission that goes very wrong. This is hurt/comfort, although not terribly graphic, cuz the hurt isn't the point, but thought I should give fair warning. For those longing for something Kirk free, this should fit the bill.

Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Djinn1 reviews
This started out as fluff. Nice, innocent, let them have sex in a different era fluff. But I think my muse is incapable of doing pure fluff. At any rate, this is Kirk and Chapel, living it up. Enjoy-it was fun to write and I hope it's fun to read.

Life is Like a Malt Shop by Mallus reviews

Within and Without reviews
"She's pointing, finger shaking, mouth stretched in a soundless scream. Pointing at him? No, pointing at the man in red behind him. The words are hissed not spoken. "Starfleet scum. Redshirts." And she's screaming, screaming abuse until the hiss of the hypospray hushes her to silence." Something is very wrong on colony Deneb III. And something's wrong with Kirk too.

This is another bit of Kirk angst, this time set just after "The Enemy Within". What would it be like to face your dark side? No, think about it, what would it really be like?

Pointless reviews

Kirk wakes up to an empty ship; 430 men and women appear to have vanished into thin air. It's exhilarating, liberating, baffling in equal measure. But it's not a no-win scenario.
