I wrote a series of Deep Space Nine ficlets about space Jews for the Purimgifts exchange this year, which was an interesting experience because a.) it's definitely the most Jewish fic I've written, including the year I wrote Fiddler on the Roof fic and b.) I tend to forget that many people don't necessarily know things like 'who is Queen Vashti' or 'what is a Purimshpil.' Which doesn't really matter, because these fics are unashamedly written for the people who do know those things, and that's fine. But it was an interesting experience nonetheless.

Anyway: Space Jews Celebrating Space Purim. I have accidentally given myself a lot of Jewish Star Trek headcanons now. Anyone want to talk to me about Starfleet Academy Hillel?

I could round up some links about Jewish DS9 headcanons scattered around Tumblr, if you like.

Also, I hold Bashir's favorite holiday is Simchat Torah.

Sure, hit me with 'em! tho I probably won't agree with all of them on account of now I have my own traditions developed in a vacuum. :D

A short list of things I've collected and reblogged: X, X [there's a fair amount of "Siskos in Hanukkah sweaters" art by the same artist, if you want more], X, X, X, and X.

There's this, this found while trying to find something else, the thing I was looking for and a related post, and this fic.

Thank you for the link roundup! Siskos in ugly Hanukkah sweaters are my new favorite thing, MY GOODNESS. *__*
