I never found either of them very interesting, or memorable. I collect AND craft, by the way and can nit-pick any number of fandoms to death. (Sue Storm is a MUCH better candidate for team leader than Reed Richards. She doesn't get distracted by science in the middle of a fight).
Star Trek is an awesome fandom though. With the exception of Voyager. If Janeway had planted her hands on her hips ONE MORE TIME......I swear, I would have found a way to reach across the divide between realities and done something drastic. She was far more annoying than Troi sensing hostile emotions from ships preparing to fire on the Enterprise and teenybooper Wesley always being the one to save the ship.
The late 80's and early 90's was the time when being a sci-fi geek, regardless of gender became acceptable. Pike and Stine just managed to out publish their competitors.
