(T'Avri aka VulcanVanguard)

Tonk'peh! Hello!

I have been an avid Star Trek fan for all my life and it has been undeniably pure fun to indulge in writing an adventure of my own. I look forward to posting more content in the future, but for now I will be continuously working on my first story, Awakening. I can guarantee that each chapter will be tweaked and embellished in real time up until the end when I feel it is all complete. I tend to write on the fly as part of my process, so I apologize if this is frustrating to you, the reader. If you have a chance, please review. I wholeheartedly appreciate critique as it helps me become a more analytical and conscientious writer. Thank you to those who have read and reviewed so far!

And as we say on T'Khasi... Dif-tor heh smusma.

* RECENT STORY UPDATES: Saavik's Saga: Awakening *
- I'm planning on making some edits to each chapter soon and will be posting updates in the coming weeks. I took a break from Star Trek after the death of Leonard Nimoy because it was just too painful to write about Spock but I feel like I'm ready to move forward with this story again. (July 15, 2017)

- Chapters 1-10 have been reworked and expanded and for now, I'm considering them more or less complete. (August 20, 2017)
- Chapters 11-13 have been expanded and updated. (August 21, 2017)
- Chapter 14 has been expanded and updated. (August 27, 2014)
