"T’Pring was too dignified to seethe."
September 19, 2020 5:54 AM Subscribe

"Matchmaker of Mars" by Rachel Manija Brown (writing as Edonohana) is a short, funny, sweet fan fiction story in which "John W. Campbell accidentally matchmakes T'Pring and Uhura." Tags: T'Pring (Star Trek), Nyota Uhura, John W. Campbell Jr., 1930s Science Fiction Writer Alternate Universe, Pastiche, Epistolary, Fiction within fiction, Bigotry & Prejudice, Baking. Should be understandable even if you're not a Star Trek fan.

That was delightful, not only for the in-jokes and masterful storytelling, but the anticipatory schadenfreude of imagining Vox Day's apoplexy when it's nominated for the brand new "Best Fanfic Short-Short" category at the Hugos.

Nice!

T'Pring was a thinly written character in the episode she appeared in. It would have been cool if they had brought her back in season three for some reason, but after she had divorced Ston. I can just imagine Spock's discomfort!

I find the concept of a friendship and business partnership between Lt. Uhura and T'Pring............fascinating.

What a great story!!

brainwane, I've been bookmarking your recent series of posts and looking forward to getting around to reading some of them. I finally got a chance to dig into this one today.

I loved the writing ("Frantically, she fanned the smoke out the window with the pages of an unsalable early work..."), and all the glimpses into T'Pring's unspoken but very much present feelings.

And I am delighted to discover that this is by the author of "No Reservations: Narnia." I'm off to go check out some of their other work.

Thank you so much for the splendid series of posts, and for your clear descriptions of them all! (I am much more drawn to short, funny, sweet stories, so it's nice to know which ones those are.) This is much appreciated, brainwane!

“Why?” asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered—Caro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement—it was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME 苍井空番号迅雷链接 ENTER NUMBET 0017
