This is the discussion thread for
Unofficial Literary Challenge #19: "Once in a Lifetime".
As usual, be honest and polite, but as this month's host, I'd like to take a moment to make an additional request: Above all else, please be supportive. It is your contributions, not just as as a writer, but most importantly, as readers and as reviewers, which make these challenges appealing and worth participating in. So please, if you enjoy something you've read, take a moment to let the writer know

And to read. I'm sorry I haven't been reading or giving feedback past few months, I've had way too much on my plate. Part of my New Year resolution is to try and make more time for others.

[Edit to add]
Just checked, and that would be a pretty badass prompt, there's always ULC#21, if keeping to the tradition of every tenth challenge being a redux
Don't forget, prompts are just starting points, they could also apply to crew members as well After the Q-niversal reset, I've got even more options to consider
I'll need to see if anything comes to mind, even though I'm STILL trying to get the inspiration to finish the first part of my ULC15.1 piece!!
Anyway, looking forward to reading what people come up with, even though I rarely make comments.
However, I will make one comment right now: @hawku001x, I find your No Fourth Wall approach to be a bit of a turn-off - makes me think you're trying to rip off Deadpool, a character specifically designed for that Trope. And I never really cared for Deadpool that much, either. So, ripping off a character I don't like is a double-point against you, at least for me. Sorry if that's a bit blunt, but it's my honest opinion on the matter, and I felt it was time I said my peace.
Or the prophecy received by the Boromir-analog, whose name escapes me after all these years:
"Five eleven's your height, one-ninety your weight,
You cash in your chips around page eighty-eight."
The book was full of bits like that. (I thought their other literary effort, Doon, was weakened by a lack of such humor, although I still am quite fond of the parodies of the quotations from other in-universe works that adorn each chapter heading of Dune. For instance, the wise words of the Princess Serutan: "Inside every fat man, there is a thin man screaming wildly to get out and eat everything in sight. That's why the man is fat in the first place.")

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!
Also, these are some prompts I can really have fun with. Like, truly, bring out the sarcasm in force. You all are amazing.
Thanks, I'll look forward to seeing what you post I selected three prompts from this suggestion thread

Captain meets new officer at airlock. Exchange pleasantries. New Officer goes to his quarters and unpacks.
Not exactly riviting. And not exactly a story or anything there to write about. Hmmmm. Must be something that can engage my creativity.
