Star Trek XI Kink Meme by various authors, very NSFW

Recommended by Ayries
Pairing: Various (Slash, Het, Femslash)
A kink meme for Star Trek XI. Not only has this somehow achieved upwards of five thousand comments in under two weeks, but it somehow has managed to have a very good excellent-to-poor fic ratio. Some of these authors are just amazing.
It's currently on part fourteen and growing every day, and the excellent-to-poor ratio is, if not the same, better.
- The mod for the kinkmeme has apparently been overpowered by RL, so that one has ended. However, some lovely people have started up a new one here.
There is also a massive RP that started on the kinkmeme, but has developed into glorious insanity. The basic premise is: characters from pretty much every ST universe imaginable (and a couple from completely different ones) start appearing on the Enterprise. There is angst, crack, and lots of gay sex. This troper highly recommends stalking these posts, especially the plotlines for Harold (yeah, you read that right) and Cadet!Scott.
Don't forget the kink meme for Star Trek Into Darkness, found here.

Atomicskull and Felonazcorp

Recommended by Across The Stars
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Comments: Atomicskull has been nicknamed LiveJournal's "Resident Queen of AUs" for a very good reason - she writes bloody fantastic ones, including but not limited to: a fashionmag!au that is pure awesome, a highschool!au that validates every story good or bad ever written in that genre and became this troper's favorite fic in the history of everything practically overnight, a surfer!au that will melt your heart, a political!au that is just fabulous and a zombie!AU that is reportedly incredible but which this troper has not read for the sole reason that she can't stand zombies. Her partner in crime, Felonazcorp, wrote a lovely ballet!AU that anyone who enjoys dance movies should go read approximately yesterdayish, and together they created some sort of weirdly awesome mashup of an AU of Atomicskull's High School AU fic (McCoy) and Felonazcorp's ballet!AU (just about everybody else) that practically resulted in a proposal of marriage from this particular reader and an absolute Olympic-size pool of squee from everyone else.
- Unfortunately, Felonazcorp's livejournal has been purged. Does anyone know if the ballet!au fic is still floating around the internet somewhere else?
- And now Atomicskull's journal is gone too! Come on, those fics were good!
- Despair not: someone apparently had saved the fics and posted them on MediaFire.

Hurt!Jim Addicts... UNITE! by various authors

Recommended by Antigone Rogers
Pairing: Various (Slash, Het, anything)
Fangirl heaven. Most subscribed Star Trek XI community on Fanfiction.net. Stories involve whumping Jim Kirk in every single way possible, with every pairing possible, in every setting possible. It takes some time to weed through the ever growing archive of stories, but there are some good ones in there that have real emotional appeal instead of just aimless character whumping.

Bookdragon01

Recommended by Lady Of Procrastination
Although this author has written a lot of great fanfiction, her Tales of a Security Chief series, starring Security Chief Sam Giotto, a 50-something on a ship filled with 20-somethings, is the best. Starting with Rule Three, it includes Tales of a Security Chief, Tales of a Security Chief, Vol. II, and Tales of a Security Chief, Vol. III, which are made up of one-shots that tell an overall story but can also usually stand alone, as well as several spinoffs and stand-alone fics.
Comments: Besides the excellent quality of the writing, what stands out most is the OCs, especially the main character Sam Giotto. Rather than overshadowing the canon characters, he fills a niche left open in canon, and fills it very well, to the point that you will wonder where he is when you re-watch the movie or show. All characters, both existing characters and OCs, are well-crafted and portrayed extremely realistically: no risk of Mary Sues here. Although the tone is frequently humorous, the series and its spinoffs span the gamut of genres and emotions. The writing is of superior quality and generally error-free. Highly recommended for fans of the new movie and TOS alike.

General Fics

Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

Stained by razzamatazz73

Recommended by Antigone Rogers
Status: Complete
Genre: Hurt/Comfort, angst, friendship, family.
Summary: A series of short stories in which the crew of the Enterprise bonds over the fact that Jim's a walking danger magnet. Lots of friendship, and obligatory Kirk whumpage and its consequences on the crew.
Comments: Worth mentioning, though it hasn't been updated in quite a while. The imagery in the first story is particularly striking. Author is also the founder/manager of the "Hurt!Jim Addicts... UNITE!" community on Fanfiction.net.
