Introducing SHIP WARS at st_respect. The Kirk/McCoy team, known as TEAM JONES. Captain Jones(that’s me in the gold shirt) is recruiting Jones shippers NOW!


By emiligia

(  more information HERE  )

Captain of Team McSpirk (Kirk/Spock/McCoy) stepping in for a moment.

The dedicated cards_slash has started Ship Wars:

"Simply put, Ship Wars is a challenge to demonstrate the worthiness and superiority of your ship through the creative medium. Instead of resorting to physical violence, we will be relying on the written word and visual art to sway the undecided and decidedly decided into the grander appreciation of YOUR SHIP."

What will happen is that for each round, within our team the authors/artists will respond to a prompt, and then submit it to our team. Our team will then vote on the story/art that best fits the prompt and/or represents our ship. Then, the story/art that wins the vote will be submitted to the big mods (Admirals) to duke it out with other ship teams.

More details and information are here.

I'm Captaining the team for the One and Only True Trio of Kirk/Spock/McCoy. The banter, the h/c, the UST. It's all still there. Just magnified by 3 instead of 2. Pon Farr suddenly has new possibilities as do med bay visits and those moments where the natives take offense and our heroes become stuck in some random cave without enough blankets...

These possibilities and endless others await the adventurous followers of this One True Trio. Join us on our diplomatic quest to introduce and inspire others to see the wonder of these three together.

( Not Knowing )

Hi guys,

this is modpost #3 (yep, it seems I'm joining fandom again *looks at eumelkeks*).

To keep the community more organised Aya and I decided a while ago to do something of a weekly-roundup post for recs and fanfic prompts. This should (I hope) bring more diversity (because people seem to rec the same fics all the time) and less posts to wade through. Every week I (or someone else) will make a post where everyone can rec their favourite fanfics, new or old. You can also ask for specific recs concerning kinks or similar. Fanfic search is also allowed. Listing of fanvids or art is ok too.

In the user info it says that prompt begging is generally permitted (in single posts). But we think a weekly prompt post with comment fics or drabbles might be fun. Obviously you could later turn your story into something "bigger".

Now we were also thinking about doing party-posts à la ontd_startrek where you can post and talk about random (off- and on-topic) things, but we're not sure if that's worth the time. What you think?

Poll #1505130 party posts, yay/nay
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 129

Should kirk_mccoy have a regular party-post à la ontd_startrek?

If you clicked "yes", should it be weekly or bi-weekly?

Just to clear things up: I mean twice a month, not twice a week. Anyone knows how to change a poll text? xD

Thanks for reading/filling out the poll. If you have suggestions, let us know.

Thanks for using the tags as much as you do. You guys are some of the better taggers out there on lj, especially compared to the situation in some of my other communities *lol* But there are still some things you do wrong, like using character tags for fanfics. I hope this guide will make it easier and clear things up.

Tagging guide for kirk_mccoy: An Update


Fanfiction and Fanart

(not used for graphics - icons, wallpapers, etc. - posts)

Like mentioned in the rules & guidelines, a work of art (written or drawn) has to have three standard tags. Hence, if the post doesn't have at least three tags, it hasn't been correctly tagged.

These tags are: fan: fanfiction/art, fandom: __ and rating: __. Author tags don't exist and since we have over ~2700 entries (end of the year 2009) it is too late to introduce them.

1) What kind of work are you posting?

Use either the fan: fanfiction or fan: art tag. An exception are podfics (these are basically audio books of fanfics), that have to be extra tagged as fan: podfic as well.


2) What kind of universe/fandom is your work about?

Canon fandoms (apply to most posts):

a. Most fanfics and art posted to this community belong in the Alternate Original Series Universe aka Star Trek XI + sequels. If this applies to your work, please use fandom: aos (tag previously known as fandom: star trek xi).

b. If your story/art is inspired by The Original Series, use fandom: tos.

c. We created a specific tag for mirrorverses, fandom: mirrorverse which is still based in Star Trek canon. Previously those fanfics were tagged with AU.

Fanon fandoms:

d. The fandom: au tag applies when the characters in your story/art evidently differ from the TOS or AOS canon; an Alternate Universe. This generally applies to genderbending stories where McCoy or Kirk are female from the start.

Note: A story can be both, canon and AU when characters from "our" universe enter the alternate one, for example when AOS!Kirk/McCoy meet an alternate Kirk/McCoy where one of them or both are girls. In that case both fandom tags (fandom: aos/tos and fandom: au) apply.

e. The ever popular "Reaper!Bones" is not an alternate universe. Reaper is a character from the movie Doom, portrayed by Karl Urban. This makes it a crossover. For this you have to use the fandom: crossover tag and only that one.

f. This community is Real Person Shipping (RPS) friendly. If you post Chris/Karl related things, please use fandom: rps.


3) What is the rating of your work?

Use one of these tags:
rating: g - Suited for general audiences/all ages, use the fic/art warning: gen/friendship if it applies
rating: pg - Some material not used for general audience
rating: pg-13 - Teen themes
rating: r - Mature themes; sex, gore, highly psychological themes
rating: nc-17 - Adult themes, plot-what-plot's


4) Fic and Art warnings

We also have a fic/art warning: __ tag. If your fic contains something "controversial" you should use one of these tags. The list includes:

fic/art warning: bdsm - bondage/sado-maso
fic/art warning: bodyswap - Kirk and McCoy switch bodies
fic/art warning: character death - Character death, of either or both characters
fic/art warning: crossdressing - self-explanatory
fic/art warning: dialogue - this tag only applies to fanfic usually, stories written in dialogue form, not prose
fic/art warning: dub/non con - mentions of sex with dubious consent or rape, has not be related to Kirk/McCoy, e.g. descriptions of Jim getting abused as a kid
fic/art warning: gen/friendship - for people that are not or are interested in gen/friendship pieces
fic/art warning: genderswap - female Kirk or McCoy
fic/art warning: mpreg - male pregnancy
fic/art warning: threesome - self-explanatory
fic/art warning: underage sex - descriptions of underage sex, e.g. an AU where Jim is still in Highschool


5) Tags that you usually do not use when tagging fanfics/art!

Character and Actor tags are a no-no for fanfics and art. For whatever reason many of you opted to use the character: jim kirk and character: leonard mccoy tags. This is a Kirk/McCoy community, so naturally most fanfics and art should be Kirk/McCoy only.

( read further: general tagging )


to be continued. Leave comments and suggestions to this post. Thank you! Also if you know wrongly tagged fanfics or art and you're able to tag them yourself (you have to have a paid account, unless you're the OP), please do so :)
