"What's the fun in that?" A few minutes later, he was on the floor, unconscious.

Good point. I have a good working theory that I need to flesh out some more.
-
I'm not sure that a second part is needed. I image BranFlakes like Elias Vaughan - someone who doesn't need a high rank in order to get a lot of important things done. Sometimes a high rank just draws the enemy's attention. But I really need to get back in the swing of writing and reading other people's work again. I've…

For my entry I decided to mix things up a little and make BranFlakes a lowly commander. Or maybe he isn't what he appears to be on the surface...

Three days after the events of LC56, How ch'Raul Punched His Captain in the Face...and Got Away With It. Beta Quadrant, Orion Sector Captain T'Panna waited for the ship to exit warp near Starbase 24. She remembered her former captain and lover, Everett Carter, telling her about the necessity of being present and accessible…

Just for the record, I have tried teaching calculus to people who don't understand algebra. It's really not that hard. Understanding a rate of change doesn't require algebra...

I could spend an hour replying to this thread... * Neal Asher's Polity universe is wacky, fantastic, and too violent for kids. * I've only made it two books into Jack Campbell's military-focused Lost Fleet series. It seems decent but not amazing. I have a hard time with books written in the first person. * Speaking of…

Thank you! I need to learn how to apply or make more realistic textures one of these days. I've spent most of my time working on geometry, so the gray hull needs some work...
-
Yes, I built a 3D model of my ship! It is my first 3D modeled ship, so I'm learning as I go. Now I'm working on adding fidelity to the shuttle bay (open bay doors with some shuttles parked there) and a brand new ship (my own version of an escort, 2409 style). I also finished a new picture that will go along with part 3 of…

Your entries are very short, and with short entries, it's hard to have enough information to keep the reader interested. Here we learn that a Klingon captain kills someone else onboard (not sure who or why) and then finds out that he is going to attack Earth. I suggest adding more details to keep it interesting - why…

I really need to get back into the LC mode...I've spent a fair amount of time on my silly steampunk adventure and corresponding art. Maybe next week... @ ryan218 - are we "allowed" to post multiple entries? Anyway, I enjoyed your lone drone entry. Nice flashback. One comment - you started a sentence with an Arabic numeral,…

Part 2 - Our Hero is Interrogated by the Queen's Protectorate Miguel's heart raced. The Queen's arrival flooded his thoughts with a mixture of fear and joy. He doubted that he would have the privilege of seeing her, even if she boarded the ship. Would they let a man from the Colonies stand in front of the Queen? Probably…

My entry is art from my new short story series, Her Majesty's Starship. This is a holodeck program that my crew uses to unwind. Those who have read my literary challenge entries will see some references to current crew members.
-
Granted, but in your next public appearance you make an obscure comment that makes your fans suddenly want you dead. You didn't corrupt the wish above you, so you get ignored for eternity....sucker. I wish for a machine that alters space-time so I can get more stuff done when I'm not at work.
-
Granted, but it's a class on weather systems that includes typhoons. I wish for dilithium creep in the duty officer assignments to stop happening. (More rewards for same activity.)
-
Granted...the yacht comes and rams you while you were surfing, and the propeller makes short work of you. I wish that vegetables cured cancer.
-
When is part 2 coming? One suggestion - in the first section, it's hard to tell whose point of view we are seeing. It sounded like it was Meria's point of view until the screen went blank and Nyssa scowled. I suggest adding Nyssa's name to the first paragraph or a sentence explaining the situation in some more detail.
-
Please add my latest story, First Date. The title says it all. Thanks!
-
Granted, but she loves logic more than people and won't even make eye contact with you. I wish that a major publishing house loves my STO stories and gives me a multi-million dollar book deal.
-
Granted, but Americans are more interested in living off the government than they are about exploring the solar system, so no one wants to be an astronaut. (The lack of a self-sufficient human space flight program breaks my heart, but you know how this thread works....) I wish that money grew on tress, but only on trees…

Part 3 of 3 - Together Machu Piccu, Peru, Earth Miguel and Amanda spent the morning walking through ancient ruins and talking about the people who lived here many centuries ago. He was pretty sure that she had figured out his plan, but that was fine. They ate a modest lunch away from the other tourists. He decided that it…

Part 2 of 3 - Miguel San Antonio Riverwalk, Earth Normally when the Ferengi is buying the drinks, it's time to be weary. A sales pitch will soon follow, possibly for some amazing property on a little-known world that was actually destroyed by the Borg shortly after the sales photos were taken. Or there are some rare,…

Granted, but the people that you spared turned against you and burned you at a stake. Fitting, isn't it? I wish that stupid people always choose to not vote.

Ok folks, this mystery is really simple. It's the beginning of February, so most Americans have their 2013 tax paperwork by now. Brandon is meeting with an accountant to see if he can get around paying over $1M in taxes this year. Some aspects of being well-paid truly suck. BTW I'd be happy to form a 501(c)3 charity for…

Thanks for posting. Here are some questions to consider. What is the take-away from this story supposed to be? Why should the reader be interested in these characters? Everyone knows that androids can be confused by "irrational" human behavior. Reading physical books because his grandfather read physical books is nice, but…
-
I prefer public feedback, even if my writing sucked. The discussions can be good. I also skim people's comments to make sure that I'm not saying the same thing as they were. (Though sometimes people need to hear "break your writing into paragraphs!" over and over.) But if you are an agent for a well-known publishing house,…

@ aten66 - oh the joys of drunken speeches! And I rather dislike Q also. @ ambassadormolari - that was nice and sentimental (but not too much). @ masopw - that was amazing! I like abrupt endings in short stories, and yours certainly ended with a bang.
-
Now, about relationships...many of you are doing a good job at showing diversity in terms of sexual orientation/identity/etc. I have been more focused on showing interpersonal struggles and the good and bad decisions that people make. So Captain Carter had an affair with his first officer T'Panna and then divorced his…
-
Thanks! I read your entry but need to go back through Echoes Upon Distant Shores to keep everyone straight in my head...I'm way too behind. @ grylak - putting the Kobayashi Maru test on a real ship makes some sense. In my twisted universe, the fleet is too strapped for resources (hence the junkers are going to the front…

Your manufacturing plan sounds like it'll work well. Good luck!
