Nichelle Nichols

[nanila]

From actual astronauts last week, we go to Fictional Astronauts this week. Leading the way with her seminal role as communications officer Lieutenant Uhura in the original TV series Star Trek is actress and singer Nichelle Nichols. After the Star Trek series was cancelled, Nichols volunteered at NASA to help recruit minority and female personnel. One of her recruits was Charles Bolden, who was an astronaut...and is now Administrator of NASA.

Ooh. I've been largely fandom-less for the past few years, but I just perused the comm and...and...you recommended The Authority fic. *swoons*

Might I recommend.....theauthority? :P

(I've been posting The Authority fic recs there as well on Wednesdays. I'm eventually going to post all The Authority fic I have to rec, until I run out. There's at least a month of recs left, I hope! :D)

You might. And I might subscribe.

Also, I feel the need to share with you an Authority fanpicspam (Is that a word? It is now.) that I wrote several years ago: here.
