What Is The Orion?

The Orion is a fan-made and run satire page dedicated to my love of Star Trek. Nothing here is meant to be taken seriously, but to make playful fun at the franchise I have loved all my life. I recognize this is neither a new nor novel concept, it's just my version. The information, and art I post is a creation of mine; a good portion of it began on my Tumblr and other socials. I’ve decided to make a single site dedicated to my love and weirdness over Trek. This site is still a work in progress but I hope it becomes a place where lovers of Star Trek, ALL Star Trek (I know we all have that one Trek we don’t like) can come and enjoy the show they love.

Disclaimer: Regarding the artwork and designs I post, they are 100% mine. Due to many terrible past experiences, I do not accept commissions. I’m also too busy with my normal day job and everything else in life. This is a hobby project. So, my designs are on my own time. However, I’m open to the idea of it if things change in the future. Like this site, we are a work in progress.

The Shop

As some of you know, recently, I finally opened my shop. I had chosen a print-on-demand service, and had done extensive testing making sure they could provide the prints for my works. I’d ordered quite a bit of test materials and prints from them to test out the site and everything was fine. Even had a outside parties buy something. It was all running smoothly, but when I opened the shop and the orders started coming in, the printer flagged my works for IP Infringement. While there is no specific law against fan art, it’s up to the particular IP holder to decide. This printing service thought it best to remove the items.

THOSE WHO ORDERED WILL BE GETTING THEIR PRINTS

I’ve already found a new printer and am fulfilling orders. I’ve disable the shop until I can migrate to a new service and ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. I’m currently watching the order and making certain they either process or cancel and I can replace them. The orders I know that have been affected, those customers have already been contacted by me. I will continue to work through this. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me through email gettheorion@gmail.com

My most sincere apologies.

Update: 8/29 -
The original orders have been processed and have either been shipped or delivered. The affected item(s) were removed from the store by the printing service. The shop has been modified to reflect the newly approved selection. I already have a backup printer selected should anything like this arise in the future.
