This user would like to tell you about Memory Gamma, the Star Trek fanon wiki. If you want to write a story (or stories), feel free to join us!

Let me start with something simple - my real name is Dave Philpot - the dvp7 part is just a username. I live in Macclesfield, UK, but when at university (whilst writing this I am) I live in Aberystwyth, UK. You'll notice that I write in British English (ie centre not center), and anything I write on here will be 'corrected' (i.e. turned into American English). Long debate for another time.

I am currently an officer on the Facebook application "Addicted to Star Trek", looking over 32,000 fans who have the application installed. The other officers and I use Memory Alpha to check loads of stuff, as it is the best site with which to do so. It is highly recommended as well.

My Stats

• I have been contributing to articles since February 2008.
• I am currently working on the episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3. I am doing major rewrites, by watching the whole episode and writing (nearly everything) down. If you think my synopsis is too long, please don't hesitate to contact me. If any have already been fully written, I will leave them be, or edit anything if it's actually different. After concentrating on ENT Season 3, I will focus on the rest of Enterprise, starting with Season 4.

Just how much into Star Trek am I?

Let me put it this way. I have seen about 675 of the 720 odd episodes, most of the ones not seen yet are from the The Original Series. I own all the box sets minus the Fan Collections, mainly because there's no point. I don't seem to read many of the Trek books - I used to, and there are some new ones I do want to read.

I started writing fan fiction in November 2008. I am writing a series called Star Trek: Pioneer, set in the late 26th century. My book is on Memory Gamma, the Trek fanon site. If you're interested in reading it and/or leaving feedback, that can be done here.

Favourite Episodes

Favourites

• Ship - Constitution-class. I just can't wait to see it in Star Trek.
• Character - Probably Data. It's not everyday you'd have an android who wanted to become a Human. It was great watching him get so confused with even the simplest of emotions. A pity his life was ended in a bit of a rubbish way.
• Species (Good) - Klingons. OK, they wobbled a bit between good and bad, but who cares. The Klingons are great guys.
• Species (Bad) - The Borg. Just because.
• Series - Star Trek: Enterprise. I noticed that quite a lot of people didn't like it as much, but I regard it as the best. If you asked me to explain why, I actually can't. I just love it.
• Episodes - DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight", ENT: "In A Mirror, Darkly", VOY: "Scorpion". I'll think of more later.
• Film - it's too tight to call, but it's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek: First Contact aren't too far behind.

My Contributions

New pages:

• Command center - the room on the NX-01. I don't think this qualifies for the bridge page because it is a specialised room, much like a briefing room (but still not quite).
• Holy Regiment - a new page. To do with D'Jamat from the ENT episode "Chosen Realm".
• Cloaking barrier - a new page. From ENT Season 3.
• Chopstick - new page.
• Unnamed humanoids (22nd century) - I was shocked to find this not on MA. The aliens who have this page to themselves (currently) are from ENT: "Silent Enemy".
• Penk's starship
• Imhotep ship
• Ba'Neth ship

Minor edits:

• Borg - History section. Just rewrote a small part about the Unicomplex.
• Toast - added the toast shared between Chancellor Gorkon, his Klingon crew, and Captain Kirk's crew whilst dining together on the USS Enterprise-A in 2293 (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).
• Birthday - I added the part about Malcolm Reed.
• Royal Navy - I edited the part about Malcolm Reed.
• Unnamed Species - I added the ship from ENT: "Silent Enemy".

Major edits:

• ENT: "The Shipment" - major rewrite of episode, quotes added, trivia added.
• ENT: "The Xindi" - major rewrite of the episode, sorted out background information from trivia, added quotes.
• ENT: "Anomaly (ENT)" - major rewrite.
• ENT: "Silent Enemy" - major rewrite, quotes, adding pictures. I'd put this as my best article, but I also have to credit whoever made it first, and did everything else.
• VOY: "Prey" - practically did the whole page. There was a seven word summary, a few quotes and one piece of background info. I wrote the whole synopsis, added a few quotes, bits of background info, added photos.
• ENT: "Impulse" - major rewrite, adding photos, one or two quotes.
• ENT: "Divergence" - major rewrite, a few quotes.

Trek XI pages:

• Red matter (started)
• Delta Vega (Vulcan system)
• Richard Robau
• Pavel Chekov (alternate reality)
• Ayel
• Amanda Grayson
• Alnschloss K'Bentayr

Plus I wrote the first "edition" of the plot for the film, and a few quotes.
