This section contains photos taken at Star Trek Conventions where Kraith fans held an "Affirmation of the Continuity"
This is modern-human version of the Vulcan Ceremony Jacqueline Lichtenberg created for her Kraith Series. You may read about it free here. One fan made original music that sounded "Vulcan" and we played the tape while another fan, a dancer, danced the Vulcan dance described in Kraith. Afterwards, the Kraith, a large ceramic cup, was filled with water and everyone drank -- we wouldn't do that today.

A famous fan artist, Gee Moaven presented Jacqueline Lichtenberg with this ink drawing of a character from the Kraith Series, Spock's half-sister. Many fans protested adding a half-sibling to Spock's family -- interestingly enough Spock acquired a half-brother in one of the films, decades later. .tif
