The Getting to Know Yous were first started by fiendish co-conspirators Jungle Kitty and Wildcat and first got posted on the ASCEM Newsgroup in 2000-and were a blast, with a lot of my favorite authors chiming in and doing the different Trek characters-even a Tribble and Data's cat Spot. So I went and did a few neglected characters...
