[DISCUSSION] online resource for Trek meme creators
[DISCUSSION] online resource for Trek meme creators
This probably sounds ridiculous, but I gotta say it out loud anyway because it's been driving me bananas for the past few days. I want to create an information resource specifically for Star Trek meme creators. I haven't been able to get it out of my head, so I think I gotta just build it already.
What would this site even have on it, you ask? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking the contents would consist of: the list of official Trek fonts for all shows (already in progress), links to screencap sites, links to the few Trek meme generators that are out there, software recommendations by platform, maybe a few guides here and there. Basically, all the stuff that would make it possible or easier to make your own Trek memes. Most of us here already have our own workflow set up just the way we want it, but not everybody does, and I'm also thinking a resource like this could help lower the barrier to entry a little.
I write code and documentation for a living, so it's kinda in my wheelhouse. It would be a fun thing to do on the side, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a platform and host already in mind.
But I'm wondering if this would actually be used? And would anyone here be interested in contributing?
You're viewing a single thread.
While I'm not able to help you with the setting up part, I'd use it and I like the idea :)
Though I don't think it's mainly the missing abilities that keep me from creating memes myself; it's the fact that I feel I have too little knowledge compared to everyone else, but I'm on my way to change that, currently trying to watch all of Star Trek that I haven't seen and rewatching the part I have seen.Have fun and take a break when (not if) you need it. All of Trek is a lot. I'd advise breaking it up.
I appreciate the advice but don't worry too much about me; I'm currently doing one, max. two episodes per day and while it's still semester break at my uni right now I don't even manage to watch one every single day and when classes start again it'll be even worse :') Plus I (presumably, still on the search for a doc to diagnose me) got ADHD so I gotta make the most out of the obsession while it lasts, the last time I was this obsessed with something it only took 2 years for the obsession to wear off...
But I've been more or less (mostly less for the past 8 years) invested in Star Trek since I was like 10 so I assume this is gonna be a life long thing for me :)
