Captain's Log, Stardate 96.1.25. Having been disappointed with the fate of Captain Kirk at the end of Star Trek: Generations, and having heard a new movie was coming out, I had decided to do something about it. Back then I used oto meet with some fellow Star Trek fans frequently, and I had been reading the rec.arts.startrek.tech and rec.arts.startrek.misc newsgroups on Usenet for quite some time. I had also created my first webpage on Geocities (at http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2645/) to contribute in some way. So, I had thought of a possible story, wrote it down (including in it some jokes we used to tell among our group of fans), and by that date, I posted it split into 7 parts on rec.arts.startrek.misc, a well as publishing it on my webpage. later I would also post it on alt.startrek.creative. The title? Star Trek 8: The Rescue of Kirk.
As time went by, GeoCities closed down, and my webpage ceased to exist (though I've kept a backup which I still have on my PC's HDD). At least my other webpage on htttp://machf.tripod.com/ still exists, though that one is more focused on gaming. So, I figured out since I have a blog in need of content, and som old content in need of a home, I should repost my parody right here, thus expanding the blog's scope. Since it's something already finished, I don't have to finish polishing it up before posting it. Some errors slipped by when I first posted it, but I won't be correcting them, as I want to keep it true to the original version. Instead, I will add comments to each of the parts as I post each of them. Stay tuned! Now I have to sleep, but tomorrow I will be posting the whole paroy on the blog.
