 +<wrap lo>**TERSE IN VERSE** In a colorful GoFundMe plea, defendants in the Dr. Seuss-Star Trek mashup copyright/trademark infringement case, including Trek author and Axanar advocate David Gerrold, are trying to raise $25,000 to fund their legal defense.

 +<wrap lo>**SKIN IN THE GAME** A reader wonders about the motivation behind **AxaMonitor**. Editor Carlos Pedraza answers the criticism, providing an overview of Axanar's lack of accountability and its treatment of now-former supporters who questioned OWC Studios head Alec Peters' narrative justifying why $1.7 million later //Axanar// has yet to be made. {{:axamonitor-ico.gif?nolink|}} [[harsh criticism|Read more »]] (Filed 5/2/18)</wrap>

 +<wrap lo>**THIRTY DAYS OUT** //Axanar// was famously purported only a month out from production before the CBS/Paramount copyright lawsuit hit. The dubiousness of the claim was first recorded in OWC Studios head Alec Peters' infamous interview with the TrekZone Spotlight two years ago. Watch this two-year retrospective by **AxaMonitor** and TrekZone. [[yout>8mieVx5VgUI|Watch now »]] (Filed 4/27/18)</wrap>
