Name of Fangirl: AshleyRose
What is her Fangirl interest?
Star Trek
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
AshleyRose is not only a brilliant writer and illustrator, but she is also a huge Star Trek fan. I had never watched the show or the movies before her, and I can honestly say that watching them now has changed my understanding of modern pop culture. she is bright, talented, and wants to share with the world just how awesome the Star Trek franchise really is.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
In her blog, A Year of Star Trek, AshleyRose is setting out to watch every piece of the Star Trek franchise and it’s inspired offshoots in a year and to document her experience on her blog. It is amazing and her love of Star Trek literally shines through it. As she says, “My whole life, Star Trek has been there for me. Now, I’m going to be there for it. All of it.” She’s boldly going where, to my knowledge, none have gone before. And I admire both her tenacity and dedication.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
I would say her tablet and stylus. AshleyRose is an illustrator who, when not watching or blogging about Star Trek (or, I suppose, sometimes during) does these amazing drawings of Star Trek creatures that are fashioned after naturalist drawings of the 19th century. They are wonderful.
