Fanfiction - Star Trek Voyager
This was an interesting book with an interesting twist to the Star Trek Voyager story. Then it just got downright weird. 'Old Admiral Janeway' suddenly blinking and waking up in her 'Captain Janeway' body 7 years after Voyager had been transported to the Delta Quandrant? Interesting enough. Done before, but here 'older Janeway' and 'younger Janeway' were in the same body, not two separate people. Putting rational 'things' in place? Some of which I actually thought should have been done anyway? Good good.
Allowing herself to explore her 'feelings' towards certain people on her ship? Hmms . . . okay, understandable, good. Exploring these feelings with more than one woman at the same time with them also exploring similar feelings with each other to the point that everyone ends up in some kind of poly relationship? Well . . . different, but not the weird thing I was talking about, at least not specifically.
It was around the point when the 'new family' decided that 4 people was not the right number, so they'd add a fifth . . . for . . . reasons. So . . . a five person family, 4 of which are female, and one of which is more symbolic (until not). The four people getting together was . . . a stretch but . . . . still within the realm of readable. Adding the fifth . . . moved things towards weirder and weirder realms. Deciding to have one third of your crew start poly relationships, even if 'fake' for appearance sake . . . and we move into 'WTF' territory. But wait, there's more! (view spoiler).
Truth be told, the story had some rather interesting and neat elements to it. Quite readable. And, hell, I was pushing for a poly situation in that other Star Trek Voyager fanfiction series I'd read, so getting it here isn't 'bad' or weird or anything. I'm happy with that, really. It's just . . . somewhere along the way it seemed as if the author of this fanfiction put down lines and thought - 'cross here'? YES! *cross* New line. Cross here? OF COURSE!!! mmphs. Basically, I mean, some of the stuff seemed to be done more just to cross a line rather than be natural to the story. But . . . meh, entertaining story anyway.
