79. #OwnVoices Fan Fiction

Anika and Liz take a trip back to 1995 and the first three stories in the Talking Stick/Circle fic series by Macedon and Peg Robinson, and discuss: 

• Usenet memories
• Decolonising Star Trek
• Chakotay, the significance of a Native American writer handling a Native American character, and the … notable lack thereof in the show itself
• Another round of religion in Star Trek
• “People need to understand that Chakotay/Seven was not endgame.”
• Fandom, homophobia and het that's not heteronormative

It's the episode where we look back and go, "Oh, YIKES."
