125: The Consistency of Inconsistencies

Standard Orbit: A Star Trek Original Series Podcast - Podcast autorstwa Trek.fm

The A to Z of Trekipedia.com. There is a truism when it comes to fandom: The Devil is in the Details ... or at many times, the lack or inconsistency thereof. Canon, in and of itself, is a very delicate proposition. It can change as easily as the creative and production teams change between projects, impacting the way that canonical information is distributed and applied to the overall fandom. We rely on these details so that we can faithfully extend our fandom and immersion. Yet, there are far too many instances where important and granular level details fall through some severely large and unstable singularities. There is also another truism regarding fandom: If you want something done right, do it yourself. Jeffrey Harlan, Mr. Atoz of Trek.fm’s Standard Orbit, followed that very axiom and created Trekipedia.com; an encyclopedic online reference born out of a need to consolidate Star Trek facts, figures, lore and nomenclature. As a Star Trek fan-fiction writer and enthusiast, Jeffrey needed a very specific and dependable resource and database. Please join us as we discover how Trekipedia.com came to be - out of need at first, and later as both a public online resource and as a personal labor of love. Hosts Norman C.
