First Post
I've watched both episodes of Star Trek: New Voyages. They were enjoyable, a lot of love and a slight increase in skill for the second one, which had Eugene Roddenberry Jr. as executive producer. Looking forward to seeing the third episode, guest starring Walter Koenig as Chekov and written by D.C. Fontanna.

I'm trying to find time to watch Star Trek: Hidden Frontier. The acting really is abysmal in the first few episodes, (I'm partway through episode 3) but the plotline is innovative and engaging. I've peeked ahead, and the sixth season really has improved at Warp 10.

I've not yet downloaded any of the episodes of Star Trek: Starship Exeter or Tales Of The 7th Fleet, but they're on my list.

I've read all the Star Trek: The Animated Series comics and am eagerly awaiting the completion of the next issue, "The Patient Parasites" which is being written by Russel Bates (author of the Animated Series episode "Sharper Than A Serpent's Tooth).

Also on the Horizon, looking forward to:

Star Trek: Unity (Although 3d actors is kind of hit or miss for me... I got distracted a lot during Roughnecks).

Star Trek: USS Intrepid

Star Trek: Revelations promises to be New Voyages for Enterprise E, but there appears to be very little movement on it.

Sadly, it looks like Star Trek: First Encounter has vanished into oblivion.

I've also not listened to any of the Star Trek Fan Audio Series (Pioneers and Section 31)< although I will likely make a point to download them if possible for later archiving, and I don't read scripts well, so I haven't followed any of the fan script series (Renaissance, Voyager: Season 8, Frontiers, or Virtual Enterprise), but may take another stab at them some day.

I also love my Bring Back Kirk trailers more than they deserve. :)

As for other fan films, I've seen Batman: Dead End, Grayson, and World's Finest, all of which I enjoyed. I'm having issues with iFilm, so I haven't yet been able to watch Wonder Woman: Battle For Justice.

Fnally, there's a lot to be said for fan music videos. I've seen some Anime ones, but couldn't begin to locate them again (The Neon Gensis Evangelion one for Weird Al's "Christmas At Ground Zero" was inspired), and all the nearly 2,000 Stargate SG-1 ones. :)

That's my roundup. I love fan films, and hope to see many more. Any I missed? Comments on the ones you've seen?

You missed all the Star Wars fan films.
Tons of them. As there is a contest every year.
From Troops to Sith Apprentice and all the stuff in between, some of them are entertaining and some of them are awful.

Star Wars: Revelations is a 48 minutes fan movie that I still haven't sat down to watch.

I have Star Trek: New Voyages on my hard drive, and sampled it enough to decide I wanted to sit down and watch them, but have't gotten around to that either. Not considering myself a Trekkie, I haven't heard of the others, but will go look at them now.

The three comic-related shorts you mentioned are one better than the other. I LOVE Grayson and show it off to anyone I can.
 


Wow! I didn't know there were so many Star Trek fan films out there. The only one I'm familiar with is a humorous one made years ago by a friend of mine: Star Trek - The Pepsi Generation. :D

My friend has also made a number of serious Doctor Who fan films. http://www.eskimo.com/~rkj/#Film
 

Awesome. Lots of fan-made goodness to fill up on. :)

Unmentioned above are several other new series recruiting actors. With ViaCom and Paramount giving a stamp of approval to many of them, there's not going to be a Trek Draught, Mr. Berman. :) Not with five complete multi-episode seasons of Hidden Frontier just to start with!

I forgot the Star Wars stuff. I have seen Troops and discovered that at some point I downloaded Revelation.

So far they only have 2 trailers up, the most recent one is linked. Very Very funny, especially if you were a fan of the original season.

Search Ifilms for Fast Times at Hero high or something like that, Think Superheroes + Fast Times at Ridgemont High = teh funnay!

Bleh. Don't bother. It is incredibly boring. Technically pretty sophisticated, but the story was for crap. My buddy and I ended up watching it on our lunch breaks and giving it the old MST3K treatment. Laughs were had, but I'm still not sure it was worth it.

I like to see some sword and scorcery fanfilms done. If they can do scif very well than "fantasy" ones could be done with as well.


GAH!

How could we forget to mention The Gamers and The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising!
