More from Saara
I finished this only half an hour, or an hour ago. After cleaning up the image in Photoshop, I e-mailed it to the fanzine editor who needed it, barely making the deadling he gave me. (Sunday.)
The illustration is actually for a bit of fiction I wrote that spoofed the "Mary Jane" genre of Trek fan fiction. This "Mary Jane" wasn't a love struck teen-age girl, but a tech obsessed guy, with disasterous results. The character of the "Mary Jane" was in fact based on a friend of mine named Do-Ming. The illustration slightly resembles him as he was in the 80s, when I wrote the story.

Wait, isnt that not called "Merry Sue" or "Marty Stu" if the character in a novel is super mega perfect and has no flaws and always gets to rescue the Enterprise all by him/herself, even if its completely unrealistic? Well, I always try to avoid that and after seeing "Masterpiece Fanfic Theater" the recent times where Sage read "My Immortal" I have confidence that I am actually good at writing. Even tho, I still have some doubts.
Not so much forgot it as omitted it. I find the arms clutter up the picture without adding much, so unless it's a close-up I may not bother with them.
Also... never seen a pair of pinz-nez glasses? They didn't have arms and did sit perched on the bridge of the nose. Sometimes they had a cord on one side, that was generally attached at the other end to a vest pocket.

The Pince-Ney fell out of fashion with men shortly after Teddy Roosevelt, and out of fashion with school marms and spinsters about 20 years after that. I don't know the rationale behind them -- perhaps an attitude that glasses were only something you put on for a moment, to read or see something close up. Perhaps most wearers were far-sighted?
Oh Goddess... And really, if your in a PBeM that is based on something you like, you have to be so careful NOT to Mary Sue. I think that, in some way, we have all been guilty of this in one way or another.
Nice work. Say, there isn't an uncrewed D-12 hanging about out three maybe? I'd just like to um.. borrow it a while....

Sadly, I know how to fly it. I was a huge Trek fan in my youth. Some forty two years ago. I used to have the manual, may still have it somewhere. All on memo-graph.
You do excellent work. Prey please do continue. Your ladies are lovely without having to be brazen.
