  • Star Trek: Arcadia is an ongoing saga of life in the late 24th century Star Trek universe, centering around characters on the United Federation Starship Arcadia, written entirely online. The story is basically a "round robin", interactively composed by various contributors writing chapters showcasing unique characters in dramatic situations, sent via email to a common mailing list. Inspired by Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise, Arcadia began in September 2001, with a Star Trek timeframe of 2378. The series jumped three years, from 2382 to 2385, in 2004. Unlike many similar venues, it maintains chronological progression matching real-time passage, in a manner similar to that adopted by various Star Trek series productions. Thus, a year from now will be a year later in the fiction world. Arcadia takes a serious approach to fan-fiction. More than a "sim" or "RPG", it relies on plot, quality writing, character motivation, and extrapolations of scientific possibility, from both traditional Star Trek and science-fiction staples, to paint a realistic picture of Star Trek's future, in the sense that the Star Trek world is "real" to characters in this universe. Given today's rapid acceleration of technological development and scientific understanding, and owing to human ingenuity, Arcadia portrays a 24th century more advanced and enlightened than that commonly accepted by Star Trek fans, as seen on The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine or Voyager. In this sense Arcadia's continuity differs to varying degrees compared to other fan-fiction forums. Part of the venue's "mission" is to highlight the positive aspects of the utopian future envisioned by Gene Roddenberry. Arcadia's exploits have taken the ship and her crew on diverse adventures to many exotic, distant locales, including other times, while examining important topics such as politics, religion and philosophy.
