Jungle Kitty
Feb. 12th, 2023 03:17 pmAnother wrenching loss for fandom. Jungle Kitty, whom I first knew back in the days of TrekFest and ASCEM, died at the end of 2022. During the years that we were on the lists together, she was an unending source of inspiration, critique, advice, and fun.
She was a first-rate writer. Her portrayal of Kirk had, for me, the complete ring of truth, and greatly influenced my perception of the character. The stories from her Invisible Planets website are available on AO3: go to
JungleKitty. I hope that readers who already know JK's stories will revisit them, and that many new readers will discover them.
Lene Taylor has said that she'll keep the podcast up indefinitely, so JK's fans will be able to listen to all 300+ episodes.
JK was a shining light in Star Trek fandom from the late 1990s right up until the time of her death. I wish I'd had a chance to say goodbye.
