I've tried to arrange listings in each category in a somewhat logical order, importance/generality/activity level leading the list.
Newsgroups
alt.startrek.creative
alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated
These groups are available, in part, as Yahoo!Groups (see below). Both ASC and ASCEM are accessible using Google Groups, although posting to ASCEM via UseNet has become increasingly unreliable. Old posts are available in both the Google and e-Scribe archives. ASC* FAQs (please look over before posting, especially before posting fic -- many TOS mailing lists also use ASC/EM coding for stories).
Star Trek Yahoo Groups Mailing Lists
Notice: All Peja-owned lists are in the process of being moved to squidge.org from Yahoo!Groups.

For Writers

Haelen.org Star Trek Beta List - Numerous listing with fic type, special talents, and preferences outlined.
In general, the best way to find betas is to a join a list devoted to the kind of TOS fiction you like, and ask if anyone would like to beta. Or find an online author whose fiction you like and ask them if they'd like to beta your story.
T'Guess' K/S Linklist also has a lot of links to writers' and erotica writers' resources on the web.
Star Trek Story Archives
Trekiverse -- The official ASC* archive. Formerly located at archive.nu, in true Trek spirit it can be found in three Mirror Universes: Mirror 1, Mirror 2 and Mirror 3 Add "frame.html" to the url for frames or "noframe.html" for no frames. If you are using the ASC* Search function to search the archive, I suggest you choose the no frames version.

COCO_SSD archive - includes the KFF and numerious Chekov stories, among other things. primarily slash. Archivist: Karmen Ghia
Spock and Christine Fan Fiction Page - The online archive of SpockandChristine list. I find it kind of ironic that the "Spock and Christine" picture up top is cropped to remove Kirk -- it's always about Kirk! -- from the picture. Kirk, confused because of amnesia, and flat on his back having just been stoned, is the reason for their shared concern.
