I took <i>Trek is dull as dirt</i> to mean <i>Enterprise</i> is dull as dirt. As for reading and writing what you want when you want, that was always an option - I've been doing it myself for years now. Welcome to the Club of One.

It's not that I'm tired of meta solely (I am), but I'm tired of the whole processing -- writing, reading and feedbacking. My new approach to JAG and X-Men is so much better: I post only to my site and ff.net, don't get involved in lists. I write what I want when I want and I don't have to read other people's stuff if I don't want to. Being a fannish segment of one is unbelievably appealing sometimes. I’m with Mike.

Mike: the list of good fic is here in the blog, about halfway down on the right under "Fiction." The Dance, Honeydew, Lurking, The Unity of the Multiverse, and 148 are all somewhat shippy, but not too much so. The Museum is mainly action-adventure despite signs of shippiness early on. The Lamne'rau and Seven of Borg are pure borg stories. You are not obliged to read any of them. If I were you, I'd just read the filks - they're pithier.

Also because these days Trek is as exciting as dirt. I don't read much Trekfic anymore, and have stopped writing, even though I started an OCC series I'd love to take back up. So, I'll take your challenge; give me two or three of your "master" works to read. Action/adventure preferred over 'ship (is that a guy thing?), but I'll read what you point to.
