Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock
444 readers

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Two stupid stories :
Sometimes the people who sign/sell shit at conventions and similar are expecting to go above and beyond as a matter of course, while sometimes, you really don't have that much of a passion for their work, but do appriciate it enough to want a signed print of their work.
I was at a big MTG tournament, and during downtime, I saw that Pete "Fear Me" Venters of Mons's Goblin Waiters fame was selling prints and signing prints.

I went up to him and asked him for a signed copy of "Mons's Goblin Waiters" and he told me a small anecdote about ... something behind the scenes. I just wanted the print to be honest. Still nice of him to go above and beyond.
I was attending a cannabis fest , and really wanted a certain type of edible. No one was manning the stall so I just waited there. Several people came up to me to buy things and I had to explain several times that I was also wanting to buy things and not running the stand.
I told you the stories were stupid, it's your fault if you read this and got bored.
Well. Fair.
I am bored and it's still your fault
Caveat Emptor!
10/10 will read again
Well, I know how I'm starting and ending all my emails now
What were the anecdotes from Pete?
