one upon a time, I thought I was old and wise and had read all the J/7 there is. then, I learned that the internet is a very big place where there is always more to discover. back in 1997 when we first met Seven, who would have guessed this was going to be such a huge phenomenon? So, I have no ambitions of compiling a complete list of Janeway slash (scroll down for links to those who do); what follows is a probably bizarre and eclectic list of my personal favorites.
Boadicea and Kelly and
august
angst was never so delicious. this is the crème de la crème
of short
J/7 -- and if you're not morally opposed to hetsmut, they'll get you
addicted to Kashyk too. really, I couldn't gush enough about how stunning this
writing is. read it all! but especially B's The
Dress and V-E Day and K's Exchange (J/Nechayev)
and
Bonds and
the collaboration Visitor to get you started on Kashyk.
and here's also an interview and
another interview with
Kelly
Robin Lawrie
is my one of my most favorite writers and people from ASCEM back in the day.
check out Fair Game and Clean
Canvas and I'm sure you'll agree that she is one sick puppy, in the
best possible way!
Angelina
Vansen
dark dark dark, even for me, but perversely exquisite and true.
every one is astonishing, so it's hard to choose, but I'd recommend A
Thousand
Beautiful Things for something gentle, In the Garden
Sleeps a Messenger for something
shocking.
R.
Schultz
wacky, effusive, and thoroughly smutty novellas that always manage to be more
than the sum of their parts. Rich's very original worlds (think futuristic sex
toys and age-defying medical treatments -- and that's not
even
the ubers) seem off at first, but then sneak up on you, get under your skin to
leave
you
smiling
and
feeling
dirty.
among
my
favorites
are Byzantine and The
Best
Spot (uber). ["uber"=familiar characters in a made-up setting]
Jane
St. Clair
A Kiss on the Body Electric is perhaps
the single most acclaimed J/7 story. also, an interview.
NovaD
The Secret Logs of Mistress Janeway is
about as mainstream as lifestyle bdsm can get -- NovaD actually
appears in the documentary "Trekkies." it's also about as warm 'n'
fuzzy as bdsm can get, so don't be scared. quite a long and addictive serial,
which includes both
slash
and
hetsmut (J/C
alert!).
Agincourt
the Voyager stuff is shamelessly smutty, especially Seven
Sins.
now, here's where I have to confess that, despite my tendencies as an author, I am not always a hurty, angsty girl. I have a not-so-secret appreciation for mushy lesbian romance -- when it's well written, and of course smutty. if you do too, read on...
Liz
Griffin [wayback]
the zenith of J/T romance -- engaging and drool-worthy. and it's dead --
but seems to mostly be archived.
Tenderware and friends
lots of delightful oddities here, but Bride
of Arachnia in particular
is not to be missed. make sure you scroll down to visit the beautiful original
artwork and J/7 pulp covers, and the rousing rant Why NOT
with Captain Janeway?
Gina Dartt
the reigning queen of J/7 romance. she's frighteningly prolific -- you can
live literally years of Janeway and Seven's life together here. frankly,
I can only take so much of this, but it
is a
must
see. The Just Between... series is the classic.
Anik LaChev
reading the remarkable uberfic Campus made starting
grad
school so much less painful. this is one of those novels that you just can't
put
down.
Bailey
B
only a few stories here so far, but all are exquisite. I won't spoil the surprises.
Janeway
Fest (2005)
well, what are you waiting for?
The Femme Fuh-Q Fest
this email list community releases a new round of f/f Trek stories every 3-4
months, and all past stories are also archived. uncommon characters
and pairings are encouraged, and some very interesting work has come out of
this group.
The Paradoxical F/F Archive
I can't speak for the other series, but the list of stories in the VOY section
offers a thorough introduction to Voyager girlslash.
Perfect Misfists
Torres/Seven archive and community. if you read enough of this pairing
it sorta starts to make sense -- the hot Klingon lovin' featured
in the adult section doesn't hurt.
Reverend Jim
used to have a divine J/T archive that included a number of unparalleled ubers
and holodeck fantasies. tragically, it vanished ages ago, never to be seen
or heard from again. if you have information about the whereabouts of this
site, its owner, or the stories therein, I'd appreciate any tips. here's
the archive
index page @ wayback
machine. it seems none of the stories are stored *weeps* -- but they could
possibly be unearthed from elsewhere.
Infinity Complex
the most Voyager girlslash you will find in one place, and worthwhile for
that reason alone. though quantity seems to be emphasized over quality. also,
the
site crashes my browser, so I haven't been there in a while. oh well, this archive has died. here it is on
wayback machine -- 3 of the 4 story index pages are archived, so you can at least get a list of most of what was there.
Die
J/C Die
a fanfic fest with one simple purpose: "Break up J/C in any way possible, without
killing either Janeway or Chakotay. J & C don't even have to be in a relationship
for you to break it up. The mere notion, even an idea of J/C, is enough to warrant
our fervent desire to stomp and stab it to death. The messier the J/C death,
the more fun it is."
round 3 in 2005.
Kinky Korner
lovingly compiled archive of Trek stories that feature BDSM.
Better Living Through Trek Stories
all Trek fic, all the time. and the folks from this list are big on quality.
Best of Trek
stories make it into this archive by recommendation only.
Trekiverse (alt.startrek.creative
archive)
about as official and complete as you can get. try the search function here if
you're looking for a story you can't find anywhere else, including those from
defunct archives.
J/7 Blue Awards
I was quite impressed by the volume and quality of the stories and authors
that ended up on this list of nominations. it's well worth taking the time
to explore them.
Vaxen's Voyager Indexes
an impressively obsessive table of J/7 authors/stories -- it doesn't get more
complete than this.
jslash7 livejournal
because it's there.
it you want to talk, there's also the Janeway7 and Janeway7
erotica e-lists (yahoogroups)
Alternative Quadrant
a primarily Voyager f/f web zine - not many stories here, but lots of articles
and commentary.
Voyager Virtual Season Project
did you know that Voyager didn't actually end after Admiral Janeway got them
home at the end of season 7? a dedicated and talented group of writers have
produced the
continuing saga in season 8 and now season 9. very professional (no sex here),
convincing and compelling.
Delta Blues
droll summary-reviews of every episode of Voyager (click on Voyager > Review
Archive at left), plus other goodies -- a very useful site for those of us
who are Voyager-obsessed. thanks
Jim!
also includes an extensive links page,
which is a good resource for all the general stuff I haven't bothered to reference
here.
and Jim's stories: The Best of Both Girls, though
it is not slash or smut, is one of the best Janeway/Borg stories around.
How Old is Captain Janeway?
careful exposition of several theories about this "enduring mystery." I
adopted their conclusion for my own calculations.
The Lower Decks
dedicated to fanfic and other information about Voyager characters other
than the senior staff. can't say I've read lots of the fic, but it's a really
interesting idea. it's also a great site with a weath of other tidbits
including a fanfic
FAQ, stats on Voyager, maps, papers on Trek science, and of course links.
ASCEM
the home page of the master treksmut newsgroup, alt.startrek.creative.eroica.moderated. also
check out:
The Golden Orgasms
ASCEM's yearly fan fiction awards.
The Foresmutters Project
"an anarchic effort to put material from the earliest
days of slash online" (earliest meaning mostly late '70s early '80s) --
not so diligent, but very worthy, and the material that is there is invaluable
(all K/S so far).
Gay & Lesbian
Star Trek
an interesting chronicle of the futile grassroots campaign to get queers represented
in the shows.
STasis
"Your Guide to the Scholoarly Literature of TREK. STasis contains over 500
abstracts, summaries, and references to reliable, authoritative information sources
about TREK for writers, researchers, students, reporters, editors, biographers,
sociologists, journalists, and fans."
TrekSmut University
my beloved alma mater, an enduring bastion of perversity. it seems the stories
aren't archived here, but you can search by series for TSU in the ASC
Archive. and while I'm on the subject, you can also search for Rude
Person as a series -- this started out as a spoof of newsgroup trolls,
but became oh so much more: the quintessential K/S tale rendered in a dazzling
array of dialects and styles, including Marxist, po-mo,
and Minnesotan.
The
Voyager Slash-O-Matic [wayback]
o the sarcasm, o the hilarity. more fun than mad-libs. I will devise appropriate
remuneration for anyone who actually writes me a J/7 story based on this.
The
J-Team
are you a Believer? embrace the True Path and attain enlightenment. sanity optional.
the site's dead, so I'll link to their
creed via wayback (most of the rest of
is is archived too).
The Coffee Nebula
visit the "scoreboards" section for diverting statistics on things like
how many shuttles have been blown up, how many times Seven has said "irrelevant" and
of course, a chronicle of coffee cups.
Hair Trek
top secret file on Janeway's hair.
somewhat off-topic fun in chart form: The Geek Hierarchy and The Perversions Map
