Indeed.  :-)  Liberal use was made of the idea "in an alternate reality, 
anything is possible".  In the novelization of the first Star Trek 
movie, Roddenberry has Kirk think some thoughts which can only be 
interpreted as a dig at this kind of story.

I will refrain from commenting on the authors thereof! ;-)

I have seen all episodes of the original series many times as well as
all of the movies up to but not including those with Picard.  I have
seen only a few episodes of the later series.  I went to a Star Trek
convention or two 30 years ago (getting an autograph from Walter Koenig
and hearing Grace Lee Whitney sing) and subscribed to the magazine TREK
(and maybe another one).  However, these were not fan-fiction magazines,
but rather discussed what went on behind the scenes or explored topics
related to Star Trek (such as time travel).  I never got into fan
fiction.  My Star Trek fiction reading was confined to the adaptations
of the television series (including the animated one) and the first
movie. 

I was never in uniform.  :-)
