No luck on the chess front yet >/

BUT OMG THIS:

... makes me miss my first ever true!fandom so. damn. much.

Classic Star Trek was the first fandom I ever really got into. When I was still in single digits (eight or nine I think), I was writing Star Trek fanfiction. I didn't even have Internet back then, so I had NO idea that there were other people out there who also wrote 'fic'. When I was 11 we finally got Internet on our home computer. AOL 3.0 on our screechy slow-as-heck dial-up modem. One of my first discoveries was fandom-based chatrooms. I remember meeting other Trek fans, role-playing for the very first time, and developing a very mild infactuation on someone with a screenname based on DeForest Kelley (I always did love McCoy best ♥). I start collecting merch for the first time, and my greatest ever piece of Trek stuff was the replica Command Chair that a family friend made for me. It was AMAZING. It was made from wood with plush cushioning, swivelled on the base, and had all the buttons and intercom stuff on the arms and wah I miss it ): I also had a phaser, communicator and tricorder. Oh, and the full set of action figures for the seven main crew members (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, Sulu).

Now I just really wanna get back my old box set of the whole TOS run (they were on VHS though, blah) and watch them all from start to finish ;_; I wonder if box-sets of DVDs for the whole thing are ludicrously expensive... Ah well, once day soon (hopefully) I will have moneys for such endeavours :D
