To name the day when I became a Star Trek fan is impossible since the Original Series accompanied me for my whole life. I was born 1978 in Germany and I still live there.
Already at the age of six I was watching Star Trek - and I was very disappointed when I had to realise Vulcans are just fiction. However, I became a real fan at the age of 13 when reading was very popular among my friends and I had no use for books that time. Somehow I got hold of Vonda McIntyres "First Adventure" (and of another non-ST novel as well). I was intrigued, to say the least. Since then two passions have developed: the one for Star Trek TOS, and the one for books.
The "First Adventure" is still something special for me, as well as The Original Series. To be fair I also watched all of the later series as well but there I never found the same spirit that made TOS something special to me. Nevertheless I have learned to value the later series.
Be that as it may, Star Trek influenced me also in other respects. Inspired by Scotty's ingenuity I studied mechanical engineering. A subsequent study made me a "Master of Engineering", today I am working in the field of medical engineering. Considering my biography, friends nicknamed me "Scotty" one day. Since that name is first already occupied and second that boots are too big for me, "Zelda Scott" was born.
As a balance to all the technology I am still reading a lot and I write articles and stories to put them here. All feedback is
welcome, praise and criticism alike. Please use the guestbook or send me a mail.
Live Long and Prosper!

Remarks concerning the English Version
As you may have noticed the main version of this site is the German one. Since German is my native language it is likely that all contents will appear there first until I have the time to translate it. It is my aim to create two equal versions.
However, that will not be entirely possible since some source material is German only and that's why it simply doesn't make sense to present it in the English version (e.g. links to German only sites).
I intend to add more and more material as time goes by and I welcome third-party-materials
(stories, articles and so on) since the author has no objections. Just send a mail to
Zelda.Scott@web.de.
Legal Remarks
Finally it's the place for some legal comments. At first I checked the contents carefully; I built the site for my private pleasure only, no money-making is involved. All texts are written by me when I didn't mark them otherwise. Concerning the pictures I also tried to name the source but that is not always possible. If someone notices a copyright infringement, so this is not intended. Please inform me in this case I will remove any illegal content immediately.
