125: The Consistency of Inconsistencies - a podcast by Trek.fm

The A to Z of Trekipedia.com.

There is a truism when it comes to fandom: The Devil is in the
Details ... or at many times, the lack or inconsistency thereof.
Canon, in and of itself, is a very delicate proposition. It can
change as easily as the creative and production teams change
between projects, impacting the way that canonical information is
distributed and applied to the overall fandom. We rely on these
details so that we can faithfully extend our fandom and immersion.
Yet, there are far too many instances where important and granular
level details fall through some severely large and unstable
singularities.

There is also another truism regarding fandom: If you want
something done right, do it yourself. Jeffrey Harlan, Mr. Atoz of
Trek.fm’s Standard Orbit, followed that very axiom and created
Trekipedia.com; an encyclopedic online reference born out of a need
to consolidate Star Trek facts, figures, lore and nomenclature. As
a Star Trek fan-fiction writer and enthusiast, Jeffrey needed a
very specific and dependable resource and database. Please join us
as we discover how Trekipedia.com came to be - out of need at
first, and later as both a public online resource and as a personal
labor of love.
