There was some discussion in Ventrilo yesterday regarding amateur Star Trek videos and audio dramas. I'll share a few links here as well as self-descriptions of each for those who'd like to enjoy more of the Trek universe.
VIDEOS Star Trek: Of Gods and Men - http://www.startrekofgodsandmen.com

Alan Ruck also reprised his role as Captain John Harriman from Star Trek Generations, and Tim Russ appeared as Tuvok. Other regular Star Trek actors appeared in new roles, including Garrett Wang and Ethan Phillips (who respectively played Harry Kim and Neelix from Voyager), J. G. Hertzler, Cirroc Lofton and Chase Masterson (Martok, Jake Sisko and Leeta from DS9) and Gary Graham (Ambassador Soval from Enterprise). The series was written by DS9 writers Jack Trevino and Ethan H. Calk. Douglas Knapp, the director of photography, had worked on Voyager.

Star Trek: Aurora follows the exploits of captain Kara Carpenter and her new (and only) Vulcan first mate T'Ling on their tiny merchanter cargo ship Aurora. This fully CG-animated movie is set just after the original Star Trek series in a lawless sector of space, where Kara and T'Ling engage in their marginal venture while trying to both turn a profit and stay out of trouble, but even in the vastness of space, trouble is never far away...and sometimes the past is never far enough behind.
Star Trek: Hidden Frontier - http://www.hiddenfrontier.com
The series is set during the era of the Star Trek: The Next Generation series. Episodes revolve around the starship USS Excelsior, and its home base, Deep Space 12, which is located in the Briar Patch, a region of space introduced in the film Star Trek: Insurrection. Two new spin-offs, Star Trek: Odyssey and Star Trek: The Helena Chronicles, also produced by Rob Caves, take place shortly after the end of Hidden Frontier.
Star Trek: Intrepid - http://www.starshipintrepid.net

Star Trek: Multiverse Crisis - http://gkayaian.wix.com/gk-star-trek
STAR TREK lives on in this fan-based trilogy , featuring 3 full length films that span the universe! All created in the style and sound of the original series.
AUDIO DRAMA
Star Trek: The Continuing Mission - http://www.sttcm.com
This independent production is the story of the U.S.S. Montana, a ship from the end of the era of "cowboy diplomacy" that travels seventy years into the future--into the new world of careful steps and slow deliberation. Flung to a new time and into a new culture, the crew of the Montana is forced to adapt--but this hardly stops them from facing new adventures in the twenty-fourth century!
Star Trek: Outpost - http://www.giantgnome.com/our-shows/audio-drama/star-trek-outpost
This monthly audio drama produced by Giant Gnome Productions follows the adventures of the crew of Deep Space 3 and the USS Chimera. The show premiered in 2009 and is still in active production, averaging 11 episodes per season
Star Trek: Excelsior - http://www.starshipexcelsior.com/episodes
About eight years ago, Starfleet discovered a wormhole hidden in orbit above Union III. The Gateway, which had been constructed in ancient times by the extinct Iconians, led to the heart of the Delta Quadrant--remote territory even by galactic standards. Command immediately recognized the strategic and moral importance of exploring this far-flung new frontier, so it created a new task force and assigned it to the region. Their mission was the usual one: explore strange new worlds, boldly go, and come back in one piece. Then do it again. The U.S.S. Excelsior, fourth starship to bear the name, is the standard-bearer of that task force. These are her stories.
Star Trek - Lost Frontier - http://www.darkerprojects.com/lostfrontier.php
Star Trek: Lost Frontier is a look at a dark time in the future of Star Trek. It is the dawn of the 25th century and the galaxy is coming-out of a period of great war. The story of Lost Frontier focuses on the crew of the new Enterprise F as they go forth to unite the lost worlds of the Federation.
Star Trek: The Section 31 Files - http://www.darkerprojects.com/section31.php
Space is dark. Let's face it. The universe of shiny, well-groomed Starfleet officers and the pristine starships of the United Federation of Planets where the Prime Directive rules and hopes for galactic unity of all species is an ongoing quest is reinterpreted in our vision of the reality of the Star Trek Universe. It's not all "let's be friends with our alien brethren". Here the Federation has a dark underbelly and the daring crew of the Nosferatu boldly goes where Starfleet fears to tread. These are desperate times. We are the desperate measure.
Star Trek: Eras - http://www.twerponline.net/eras
Eras is a multi-generational audio series, spanning through the entire history of Star Trek. Told from the perspective of Admiral Evori, an El-Aurian who has been a part of Starfleet since the beginning, each story can range from his "present" place in time following the conflict with the Romulans (as depicted in Star Trek: Nemesis) to his experiences with humans during their explorations using Warp-5 engines (the time period established in the Star Trek: Enterprise series).
When stationed aboard the "Okie Boat" in the late 70's in Yokosuka, Japan, we would watch "Little House on the Prairie" on ship's TV, and this on Japanese TV.
