Suffer for your fandom? Check out my startrek.com guest post

We call it "Trekland, SUPPLEMENTAL" for a reason—that piece I do every few weeks over at our outpost at the "new" startrek.com.

Today I took a bummer event in our CON OF WRATH project, and turned it around into praise of past fan eras when the rock had to be pushed uphill. Go see for yourself. Just know that the title is SUPPOSED to be, indeed, "Suffer for your fandom?"

NOTE: In that post, the captions did not come through on the pics I submitted. So in case you were wondering what, why and when they are all about—check them out here:
