Who doesn't appreciate something given to you for free, without any thought of something in return? Christmas is known as the "season of giving" but what if I told you that there are people to whom giving is a year 'round thing? If you are a Star Trek fan then we have a treat in store for you!
Star Trek fans come in all shapes and sizes, the timid and the bold, the consumers and the creative. Amongst the creative there are those who write, those who act, those who have production skills that can turn out artistic and entertaining productions in a surprising range of media.
I have started a project called "The Twelve Trek Days of Christmas" which is a major collaboration between a wide variety of Star Trek fan groups and individuals to celebrate the season of goodwill and giving. It is first and foremost a fun activity created by Star Trek fans, as a gift for their fellow fans. It is meant to introduce you, the world wide web of Star Trek fandom, to the amazing array of material available for free on the internet.
What are we going to give you? Well ...
