Should I start putting "please do not index" warnings on anything I post? They will all go away in a week or so because I'm just mooching my parents' webspace and eventually they'd notice. Anyhow, it is the land of sunshine :)

Also, *happydance* for new Star Trek story!

oh, oops, yes. please do.

In "The Deadly Years" (mid season 2), Jim says he's 34.

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ohh. that throws my calculations all off! but what part of the mission was that. maybe he's 36 at the END, so that means that he's 39 in ST:TMP, and even if they're gone for five years when he gets back he's 44, so STII could be his 45th birthday! (but i don't want it to be. i like to leave a few years in between for happy sex and stuff. how about STII starts with his 50th birthday. yes, i like that.)

[poornapoleon.livejournal.com]

He's 48 or 49.

"Wrath of Kahn" takes place fifteen years after "Space Seed". That's season 1, so presumably is a year or so ahead of the events in "The Deadly Years", when, as noted, he's 34. So, depending on where his birthday falls, his 33rd or 34th birthday falls in the year of "Space Seed".

Re:

damn, but i KNOW wok starts with a birthday scene! you remember the eyeglasses! and there's a big deal with shatner, in interviews, about how they were discussing it with the writers and they decided to run with the oldness, not try to disguise how much time had passed, so jim was passing a milestone and really starting to feel his age?

i can go with 48, though. i have him turning 45 in the story i'm working on--but then where does that place the end of STTMP? i thought i had that worked out to 41 or 42.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

so say they don't stay out for 5 years after TMP--just one, maybe. they return when jim's 40. and he's 48 at the beginning of TWOK. that gives eight years. if i set a story on the 42nd or 43rd birthday, that gives a bit of time to settle into their Academy posts after returning, but still leaves a good bit of time before TWOK to allow for the awkwardness between them that i read into it before the Farewell Through Plexi scene of great momentousness and Love.

I'm gonna look this up in the Encyclopedia. Will get back to you.

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ooh! why, thank you, that would be lovely and i'd adore you forever. i haven't got an encyclopedia, you see. can i do anything for you? an icon request or something? a short little dribblet (not drabble, you see, because it'd be more than 100 words and would have something of a plot) of a favorite pairing?

[poornapoleon.livejournal.com]

You've already supplied me with many an icon, so I consider this returning the compliment. Though if you felt like writing a Drew Barrymore/Liv Tyler ficlet, I wouldn't say no ... ;-)

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

do they know each other? hum. i'll think about it, the next time i've time and drabbleyness!

Re:

[poornapoleon.livejournal.com]

I believe they're acquainted ... (http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/0815-osc/tylerliv.&ba)

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

well, that IS interesting. hmmm. drew's married, but then, from what i know of tom green...

[cimness.livejournal.com]

do you know if they were in a movie together or anything?

Re:

[poornapoleon.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know - that shot's from the 1999 Academy Awards ceremony

But perhaps Liv could be up for Charlie's Angels III ...

[poornapoleon.livejournal.com]

Also, IIRC, Spock gives Jim a book - a copy of A Tale of Two Cities, I think. The spectacles are from Bones.

[cimness.livejournal.com]

and then he needs them to read--that argues with a story i've read set around then! hmf! they should do their homework!

Dear heart, since I had my Chronology hanging about three feet away from me;

2233 - James Kirk is born, in Iowa on Earth, on March 22. (This is based on The Deadly Years)
2271 - STTMP (making him... 38 then)
...Then they do go on another 5-year mission, according to conjecture, returning in 2276...
2277 - Spock accepts command of the Enterprise
2281 - Kirk retires from Starfleet
2284 - Kirk returns to Starfleet as an instructor
2285 - STII - WoK - 'Admiral James Kirk celebrates his 52nd birthday.'

You probably didn't want half that info, but there you have it. Never reveal your need for details to a Trek Geek(tm). ^____^

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

no, thank you! most sincerely! can i oblige you with a ficlet or an icon? i'm not a trek geek, i'm just mad about k/s. don't buy the books or anything, you understand.

[leyenn.livejournal.com]

A ficlet would be gorgeous. She-Ra perhaps? Or HP... or Trek... actually just surprise me. ^___^ Hee!

Re:

[cimness.livejournal.com]

ohhhh, yay. well, i'm working on a k/s that's going to be longish, but i gather you're a tng girl, so perhaps one of those others. ::ponders::

[leyenn.livejournal.com]

*watches cim ponder* No rush, sweetie!

[cimness.livejournal.com]

posted a little she-ra/catra for you!
