B'Elanna's Award Shelf

Where am I now?

This guide to Jemima's Trek oeuvre includes advice to readers and a list of the award-winning and otherwise honorably-mentioned stories written by Jemima's muse B'Elanna.

The full list of stories is on the Jemima's Stories page. For other sub-indicies, see the Borg Plot Classification and the C/7 version of the BPC. Be warned that the Borg Plot Classification is a useful classification and therefore may contain spoilers.

What should I read?

All the award-winners are listed below on the shelf. The Dance comes highly recommended and is a strong contender for the best story here. All the long stories have either won awards or generated plenty of positive feedback. The middling stories, despite their poor track record in competition, are also good.

Don't start with the short stories, though - some of Jemima's juvenile fic (from back when she was thirty) has congregated there, as well as the odd experimental piece and the much-reviled, if not half-bad, C/7 fics. Jemima's favorite children are the filks, but her sad experience has been that it takes a fellow filker to appreciate a filk properly.

The Shelf

Honors are listed in order of receipt. Not everything is an award, and not all the awards are from contests. The ASC Awards, for example, cover all stories posted to the alt.startrek.creative newsgroup in the course of the year.
