    Summary

    A collection of my meta and speculation essays on "The Hobbit" film universe, Thorin Oakenshield/Bilbo Baggins as a pairing, and general thoughts about the written works of J.R.R. Tolkien and how they relate to the film universe of Peter Jackson.

    Essays rely on textual evidence from the films and the books, but should all be taken as my own headcanons written over *several* years, and are specifically geared towards understanding the films as works of art and literature. They should be read as the opinions of a fanfic writer trying to make sense of various plot holes and gaps in information, both for enjoyment and fanfic writing purposes.

    Summary

    A number of people write TOS stories because Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are so iconic or so delicious or so wonderful, even though their understanding of Star Trek comes mostly from The Next Generation or Deep Space Nine or another of the Star Trek series. To keep your story within TOS boundaries, here are a few things to keep in mind.

    This is an essay, not a story, and it's about the television show, not about the movies featuring the same cast. (The movies were somewhat different than TV-show-era Star Trek; this essay is only about the show.)

    Just Added: Chapter 2, on how to make Kirk and McCoy talk like Americans, even if you aren't one. :-)

    Summary

    The Alpha pack has systematically attacked Stiles and his friends for months, testing their strengths and weaknesses. When one of the Alphas goes after Stiles, he awakens in the hospital and realizes that something's wrong. Very wrong. All sounds seem to hurt him, he can't understand what anyone is saying, and when he tries to speak, it's gibberish. How is he supposed to deal with the fact that he's lost the ability to communicate with his dad and his friends?

    Without his ability to talk, his sarcasm, and his wit, what does Stiles even have left? Enter Derek, the only one who seems to make it better.
