Sunshine Challenge Day 6



This one was super hard for me, because even though I've heard of indigo, I've never given it much thought. I had to look it up online and basically it seems to be a dark blue with hints of purple, after that I was still drawing a blank, but my mind finally settled on space. Yes, in real life outerspace has no colour, but in films and on TV it does. I'll start off with Star Trek, and share this Janeway/Chakotay moodboard I made for the Star Trek Exchange last December.



Secondly I'm going to self rec some of my Trek fic that I have created for a couple different exchanges

Title: Expectations
Author: kingstoken
Fandom: Star Trek: Voyager
Rating: G
Relationships: Janeway & Paris
Summary: "Captain, I know this looks bad ..."
"That's because it is bad, Mr. Paris."
Notes: This one is based in earlier seasons when Tom was still being a bit a of a jackass sometimes, and the Captain has to bail him out of a situation

Title: More than Lovers
Author: kingstoken
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Rating: T
Relationships: McCoy/Spock
Summary: "But, would it have really been so difficult to just tell them I was your lover?"
Notes: Established relationship, when they are on shore leave together Leonard doesn't know how to introduce Spock

Next, I'm going to rec this vid, "Starships!", this vid is pretty famous, but I love it, it is so upbeat and combines clips from dozens of different sci-fi canons.



There is also a Monochromatic Remix of this vid done with sci-fi from the 40's and 50's, which is kind of zany and fun.



Lastly, my song rec of the day is "Spaceman" by Bif Naked. I have no idea what the singer is referring to in the song, but when I was young I thought it was about a young woman that wanted a space explorer to come and take her away from her mundane life, which appealed to teenage me.

I need to come back and read your stories. Can't go wrong with Star Trek for this.

I did thank you. I especially liked the Voyager one.

Both versions of that "Starships" video are a hoot.

Space is a fantastic association for this color, and love both of the Starships vids!

I love the moodboard, especially the shot of the Voyager in the bottom left. Thanks for the song also!

I love that Starships fanvid! It's so well done and showcases so many great scifi productions.

Really enjoyed both Starships vids - especially Classic Who in the monochrome one!
