Laura Basta

Laura Basta was an early Star Trek: TOS fanzine writer and publisher. Together, with her sister Margaret Basta they produced some of the first Star Trek fanzines: Babel and Star-Borne. 
==Nominated for a Hugo Award==
In 1974, Lichtenberg was one of two Star Trek fans nominated for a Hugo Award. The other nominations, and winner for Best Fan Writer - Susan Wood, Richard E. Geis, Laura Basta, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, and Sandra Miesel. The winner was Susan Wood.
Basta was one of the only two fan fiction writers ever to be nominated for a Hugo Award based solely on their fan fiction Boldly Writing describes the fall-out from the nomination: "Both Jacqueline and Laura were nominated for "best fanzine writer" solely on the basis of their Star Trek fanzine stories, and this created quite a furor in science fiction fandom. Some science fiction fans were aghast at the idea of fans writing stories for what they thought of as a second-rate TV show. Some were afraid that Star Trek fans would distract the World Science Fiction Convention from honoring those who wrote original science fiction novels. Other science fiction fans did not see what all the fuss was about. Thus began a debate about the relationship of Star Trek fans to the science fiction community which has continued, in one form or another, to this day." 
See more about this in the editorial for Seldon's Plan v.6 n.4.

Basta also helped found S.T.A.R. - the Star Trek Association for Revival in 1972.

Laura Freeman

Laura Freeman, also known as Nasubionna, is a Harry Potter fan artist. Her art has been featured on the Harry Potter Lexicon, FictionAlley, and The Harry Potter Companion.HPL: Artists: Laura Freeman. (Accessed 19 September 2013.)Who to blame for FictionAlley. (Accessed 22 April 2012.)The Harry Potter Companion: Laura Freeman. (Accessed 22 April 2012.)
She ran The 'Canon' Harry Potter Fan Artist's SiteRing a webring for canon-based art fansites.
== Fannish History ==
In a 2006 interview for Immeritus, Laura explains that she got involved with fandom around 2000, "shortly after [she] started drawing [her] own fan art and became interested in posting them online." She also says of her fanart:
== Praise from J.K. Rowling ==
In 2004, J. K. Rowling mentioned Laura's fanart on her official site when reviewing the Sirius Black fansite Immeritus for her first Fan Site Award. Rowling wrote:
:"The fan art on here is very good. For a while I had a picture of the four marauders drawn by Laura Freeman on my desktop. It is a particularly accurate portrayal of Sirius and Lupin."J. K. Rowling. Fan Sites: Immeritus. 13 May 2004. (Accessed 22 February 2011.) Available via the Wayback Machine.
Though Rowling did not specify which particular work she was referring to, Laura speculates:
:"I've narrowed it down to what I think are the two most likely possibilities: the color one of just the four Marauders from the chest up, arms around each other, or maybe the one where Sirius is sticking dungbombs down Snape's robe. I think it's one of those two based on the date she made the comment, and based on which of my artworks were on Immeritus at the time. I could be wrong, though! Believe me, I wish I knew which one she meant for sure...!"
== Fan Art Use Policy ==
Laura's Harry Potter Lexicon bio states:
In the FAQ section of Laura's art site, she provided further guidelines for the use of her art:
== Example Art ==
File:Hagrid and Norbert in Copics by Laura Freeman.gif|Hagrid & Norbert in Copics. Described by Laura as one her favourites and "one of the best portraits [she's] ever done, period."
File:Valentine's Day of Misery by Laura Freeman.jpg|Valentine's Day of Misery. "Harry and Cho's miserable first date at the teashop. Drawn for the Valentine's Day 2005 layout of the HP Lexicon."
File:Marauders by Laura Freeman.jpg|Portrait of the Marauders. Possibly the drawing that J. K. Rowling called "a particularly accurate portrayal of Sirius and Lupin" and had on her desktop. (See Praise from J.K. Rowling above.)

==Controversy==
Goodwin was at the center of a lot of wank on mailing lists in 2000.
Some of this controversy was about sockpuppets, sermonizing, responding to her own posts using another name, posting private information from other lists, plagiarism, bullying, and making purposely confrontational posts.

Laura Hollis/Carmilla Karnstein

Laura/Carmilla, also known as Hollstein, is a popular canon femslash pairing in the Carmilla fandom.
==Canon==
Laura and Carmilla initially had an antagonistic relationship, Laura's idealistic and adventurous nature clashing with Carmilla's laid-back personality. Their shared plight during the course of their first semester together led them to become friends and eventually lovers. They had rough parts to their relationship following this, however, and it culminated with their breakup after they were unable to resolve their differences amicably. Despite this fracturing of their relationship, Laura was still willing to save Carmilla by killing Vordenberg, an act which forced them to go on the run.
Later, having having worked through their relationship troubles, while preparing for the upcoming confrontation with The Dean, Laura admits her true feelings to Carmilla and they resume their romantic relationship. Laura ultimately sacrifices herself to defeat The Dean, freeing the latter from her torment. Carmilla demanded to join her in death, and was subsequently challenged by the Death Goddess, Ereshkigal, in a game of riddles, which she won, resulting in Laura being resurrected. Following Carmilla's restoration to life, the two of them depart the campus, and five years later are shown to still be in a loving relationship with one another.Carmilla_Karnstein wikia page

Laura Hollis/Danny Lawrence

Laura/Danny, also known as Hollence, is a femslash pairing in the Carmilla fandom.
==Canon==
Danny and Laura get along quite well. The two of them first met in Laura's literature class, where Laura was enamored with her. Danny believed Laura when students began to vanish, and aided her in the following investigation. Despite this, neither of them visibly consummated a relationship with the other. Various personality clashes, specifically Laura's distaste for Danny's over-protectiveness and Danny's justified anger at Laura refusing to believe that Carmilla is dangerous leads them both to break off their previous attempts to form a romantic relationship.
Despite their ending of a budding romance, both remain on good terms, as Danny is often the first to follow Laura into her various antics and Laura likewise trusts Danny to a considerable degree.Danny Lawrence wikia
