From Fan History Wiki

Janeway/Chakotay fan fiction was really popular during the Star Trek: Voyager's original run on television. It continued to be popular despite Kate Mulgrew's insistence that it would never happen because such a relationship would be inappropiate.

Jeri Taylor was blamed by many during the original run of the show of killing off the show and destroying many of the characters because of her desire to write the characters as versions of herself and because of her desire to try to make Janeway/Chakotay as canon despite Kate Mulgrew's vocal opposition to this. Many Janeway/Chakotay fans felt that she was responsible for what became of Chakotay's characterization.

While the Paris/Torres fan fiction community was centered around The Paris/Torres Collective, the Janeway/Chakotay community was centered around JetC. This included a number of mailing lists that were generally capped at about 30 members. There were senior lists, for members over 18 years of age, and junior lists, for younger members. These communities disappeared by 2002, although the larger JetCOcean, created by the merging of several JetC groups, is still somewhat active.

[edit] Having babies

The most popular pairings for babies in Star Trek: Voyager are Janeway/Chakotay, Paris/Torres and Chakotay/Paris. Janeway/Chakotay and Paris/Torres are the two most popular pairings for the show as a whole and with the addition of Paris/Torres canonically having children, it helped fuel this desire to write them with babies. The Star Trek fandom has also been traditionally one of conservative values of its members. Given that, it is not surprising that babies would be written as an expression of love for pairings that many wanted to see become canon.

Chakotay/Paris is the major m/m slash pairing. When they couple is pregnant, it tends to be a result of mpreg. The story may or may not be humor. This contrasts to f/f slash pairings like Janeway/7 where the characters generally have a medical procedure which results in the child sharing both mothers' dna.
