Prompt #85

[garryowen]

*bites nails* I am the first to post, I think, so I hope all my formatting, etc. is correct. Please let me know if it's not.

Title: Ad Astra Per Aspera
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Rating: R
Word Count: ~2000
Spoilers: TOS: The Conscience of the King; novel: Star Trek: Academy – Collision Course
Summary: There are things James Kirk has never told anyone.
Special thanks to the enormously patient awarrington who brought this story out of the mire.

Note: All you need to know about the novel is that Kirk and Spock are teenagers living in San Francisco. Kirk is a bit of a juvie and gets in trouble for stealing a Starfleet vehicle. Spock is a bit of a rebel, who gets in trouble for other reasons. Anyway, they meet when they both get arrested at a bar. Eventually, they end up in Starfleet together (it’s complicated, don’t ask). One of the novel threads is Kirk’s experience on Tarsus IV, which only his father and brother know about. Some evil dudes who knew Kirk on Tarsus IV are plotting something terrible, and Spock and Kirk have to exonerate themselves by going up against them.

Huh. I did tag. I think I remember someone in another comm saying they couldn't create new tags. Maybe that is true at DW, also...

I wondered whether that might be the case. I will see what I need to do.

[garryowen]

It's also possible that I started over in my entry or something because of an html problem and then forgot to retag? But I think I had that problem in my personal journal and had fixed it by the time I posted at the comm. Technical mumbo jumbo!

Okay, I found the setting for tag security. Either I am still getting used to Dreamwidth, or things are still a little hard to navigate, or both. Would you mind trying to add a tag to this post now, so I can see if it worked? Anyone should be able to create and edit tags now.

[garryowen]

It seems to have worked aside from the fact that my tag is too long and gets cut off, but what can you do!

Let me know if it for some reason doesn't show up for you.
