Creative Blogger Award from J.A. Scott

I recently experienced a warm trekkie emotion when J. A. Scott chose me for the Creative Blogger award! So I want to thank our friend Jeffrey for the thrill and jubilation of this Award.

I also wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to the blogosphere of bloggies, trekkies and writers who've journeyed with me through time. According to tradition, the Creative Blogger Award has rules. Here they are - :

The rules:

1. Thank and post the link of the person who nominated you.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself to your readers.
3. Nominate 10-20 blogs and notify them.
4. Pass on the rules.







J.A. Scotts a huge Science Fiction nerd, reader and blogger who's been writing since 1986. His blog has short stories, poetry, music, photography and is celebrated for R.A.N.T. which translates into "Rage About Nothing, Typically." Don't forget to stop by and enjoy the Sci Fi buzz.

Five Facts about myself:


I am a huge Star Trek fan. I totally enjoy exploring the positive influence Star Trek has on peoples lives, forever constant with tv shows, parodies, movies, characters and stories going boldly.






I made this graphic for Star Trek Sci Fi Blog super imposing the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 into the corner and later added a Klingon bird of prey in full pursuit. Do you think Captain Kirk would run away from a gunfight?




I love eating chocolate. I've switched to dark chocolate because its better for you, lol. I know you believe me but hey thats just my cover-story and I'm stickin' to it.




I made this spaceship! Isn't she a beauty? She's got space running lights and sound effects too.

2015 Nebula Awards

N is for Nebula. In 1965 the Science Fiction Writers of America was founded by Sci-Fi author Damon Knight. The organisation originally began with a membership of only 78 writers and has grown since.

This years 50th Nebula Awards are being held in Chicago, Illinois beginning on  June 4th right through to the 7th  2015. The cost to attend is $70. If you're interested why not register? Writer's will likely geek out at their website which is a non profit enterprise full of helpful writer resources.

Each year the Nebula Awards are voted on and presented by "active members" of the science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.



Today SFWA is home to over 1,800 members, authors, artists and allied professionals. Many of them are leading writers of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Unlike the Hugos, the Nebulas take place every year for the best Sci Fi or Fantasy fiction published the previous year. Categories include Novel, Novella, Novelette and Short Story.

Who would you like to nominate for a Nebula?

Are you Star Trekking across to the nebulas this year? 
Will you be booking a room this year? 
Live Long and Prosper, trekkers.

Hugo Gernsback

H is for Hugo. This award is the premier award in science Fiction named after Hugo Gernsback, founder of the first ever sci-fi pulp magazine, Amazing Stories. In 1953 "World SF Convention" gave the first Hugo Award at the 11th World Science Fiction Convention. Since 1955 the Hugo Award for best Science Fiction and Fantasy has been handed over to winners annually for pure excellence.

Theres more than a dozen types including best written and dramatic work. The Hugo Awards are among the highest honors bestowed in science fiction and fantasy, art, publishing and writing. The distinctive design of the Hugo Award Rocket is a service mark of the World Science Fiction Society. The awards themselves are voted on and administered by the World Science Fiction Convention, also known as Worldcon.


Star Trek: The Original Series was nominated eight times for Best Dramatic Presentation, and swept the nominees in 1968. It won the award twice.

Star Trek: The Next Generation was nominated three times, and also won twice.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise were each nominated twice (Enterprise for Short Form, after the category was split in 2002), but never won.

Nine of the first eleven Star Trek films except for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek Nemesis were nominated for Best Dramatic Presentation. None won the award.

Gene Roddenberry won a special award for Star Trek in 1968.

Hugo Gernsback is known for writing a non fiction in 1952 titled "Evolution of Modern Science Fiction." The novel for which he is best remembered is "Ralph 124C 41+"

Have you read Amazing Stories? Do you like watching the Hugos? Who do you want to see win?

Entertaining Emmys


E is for Entertaining Emmys. Each year the Emmys are celebrated on TV with awards held in the USA since 1949 to honor the best in Prime-Time TV viewing. Believe it or not Star Trek The Animated Series won an Emmy for the most entertaining children's series in 1975! So did TNG, DS9, VOYAGER and ENT. Sadly Star Trek's classic TOS show is the only show to truly bite the dust at the Emmys! I mean how in great space does Enterprise beat TOS classic show? Someone please explain that to me.


In any case, The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards will hit the airwaves on Sunday september 20th 2015. You've probably wondered at some stage whats the recipe for choosing the Prime-time Emmy Awards host, right? The scoop is Andy Samberg aka Brooklyn Nine-Nine's will be in command. So tune in for the fun. "Buckle your seat belts, Emmy lovers!"

Tell us why you love watching the Emmys!

Star Trek Into Darkness has been nominated for Best Science fiction Film of 2015.
 Is STID in with a chance to win?

Sci Fi Treasures

I discovered an awesome sci-fi treasure a while ago except I have a confession to make... .

I kept it a secret! I didn't do it on purpose it just kinda happened. Forgive me? I enjoyed reading James blog so much I kept Planet Pailly a secret because it was my special little corner in the galaxy but I guess we all have them right?

Filmsketchr nominated StarTrekSpace for the Versatile Blogger award giving me the opportunity to nominating 15 awesome blogs! I choose only 13 winners, so you'll have to forgive me, I think I've been watching too much Star Trek.

Versatile Blogger Award from Film Sketchr








Last Tuesday I felt a warm trekkie emotion when Filmsketchr chose me for the Versatile Blogger Award! So I want to send my heartfelt thanks to Maurice for choosing me. I would also like to pay tribute to my good pal Nova Dove who inspired me to write my first sci-fi story way back during our early blogging days in 2006. Now according to Tradition, the Versatile Blogger Award Recipients follow rules. Here are 13 blogs including seven interesting trek sensations about me for you to enjoy.





1.Planet Pailly
2.Scouring Monk
3.Build The Enterprise
4.Geek Twins
5.Jelly Beans of Writing
6.Karen Elizabeth Brown
7.Earth Dragon Healing
8.L.G.Keltner
9.CaptainSciFi
10.StarTrekVulcanology
11.SciFiMusings
12.The Great Canadian Model Builders Webpage
13.My Star Trek Scrapbook












I made this graphic for Star Trek Sci Fi Blog and super imposed the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 into the corner which should bag Scottys approval. I am indebted to my good pal Nova Dove without whose encouragement Star Trek Sci Fi Blog would not be here today.




















Every Star Trek fan must own a real bone fide Starfleet communicator, otherwise you're just a poor excuse for a cadet! What are you waiting for? Its time to lock and load, grab your communicator on the double or Spock will throw your butt out the airlock, lol.


























C is for Chekov. 'I can do zat,' 'I can do zat.' I wonder why Walter Koenig had to wait all this time to get his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Walter's star is scheduled to be installed on the 10th of September 2012.



























Whenever I'm confronted with a puzzle on our small homeworld, simple logic begs me to ask how would pointy ears react in the exact same circumstances? LOL.

















Ralph McQuarrie's creativity can be appreciated in lots of movies including Star Trek III and IV but Star Wars has to take the prize, sniff. I sometimes wonder what will become of Ralph's wicked enterprise starship.....





















I made this! She's got space running lights and sound effects too.




I love the original version of the Firm's song "Star Trekking Across the Universe" so I've added the lyrics in the link so you can join in the fun and sing along but don't forget to come back and tell Spacerguy about your awesome Star Trekking Experience!


Trek Long and Prosper, Trekinators! LOL.

Blog Award

It is my honor to announce that Bernd Schneider from Ex Astris Scientia has chosen Star Trek - Sci Fi Blog for a 2012 EAE Star Trek award.

Bernd's trek analysis identifies my weakness for Star Trek which took hold at an early age. You see I was powerless to resist scores of invading pesky space bugs assimilating me into their trektastic collective! Resistance was definitely futile and I was absorbed.

Now I must confess, I felt a warm surge of emotion when I got word of our EAE award over the weekend. Thanks Bernd, you've made my day.
