At long last, here is the story you've been waiting for: How ch'Raul Punched His Captain in the Face...and Got Away With It. Comments and suggestions are welcome. You can be brutally honest if necessary - that's what a good counselor would do.

Starfleet Academy, Earth Professor ch'Raul arrived fifteen minutes early and took a seat in the last row of the room. He assumed that none of his students had taken the time to read his biography, so they were not likely to recognize him. People watching never ceased to be entertaining. He stood up on the hour and walked…

My draft is written and needs to age for a few days. In the meantime... @ jonsills - that was awesome. I was reminded of the spot in the DS9 Mission Gamma novels where the Defiant crew is passing around a Klingon romance and everyone is secretly enjoying it. @ jauhn82 - I think this is the first piece I have read from you.…
-
I have a few threads bouncing around in my head - one that is depressing, one where Counselor ch'Raul is a bad TRIBBLE, and a simple romance. I'm not sure which to combine into this topic...more to come.

Additionally, don't post stuff to be popular or get a lot of attention. (This isn't Facebook.) Write because you enjoy it, and take whatever responses you get. Sometimes you might only get unpleasant feedback, but that's ok. Please don't post something that you know is terrible or incomplete with a promise to fix it later…

@ evilbsg62 - next time, try breaking up the paragraphs by speaker so that it is easier to follow. @ dahminus - how did your crew manage to shift into the mirror universe and also back to the 21st century? @ patrickngo - hey, it was funny. You did well considering what the topic was. ...and speaking of topics, here are…

@ rahmkota19 - it does seem like Starfleet's best intentions don't always work out well. Too bad for the Terrans... @ masopw - I enjoyed that. I particularly liked this: "I'm good," I said, putting more force into my words than necessary. As our relationship progressed, she was becoming more protective of me. The 'new'…

My entry is here. As usual, I didn't stick to the topic very well, but it should at least be amusing. It's been too long since I wrote anything. Rumors of my demise were slightly exaggerated. Preliminary comments below, with more to follow. --- @ kirkryder - I'm not sure what to say. Your entry would be more satisfying if…

Two days after the events in LC51, Business Dinner Bobby Boudraeux only got three hours of sleep, but nervous energy had kept him going all day. Now it was time to hail the U.S.S. Executor and seal the deal on his new position. He introduced himself to the Executor's comm officer and waited to speak to the captain. A…

Before his death, Captain Carter used his free time to hook up with his first officer, T'Panna (and eventually divorce his wife). Now that T'Panna is in charge, she spends her free time sending subtle romantic hints towards the counselor, ch'Raul.
-
Wow, that was very thought-provoking. Good job.
-
Thanks for the feedback!

My entry is here. It is set a few days after the standalone story called "One Last Chance." As usual, I had to find a reason to make the LC topic a minor item in my entry. It's been a while since I posted here. The real world and a bit of routine change have kept me away...now on to last-minute reviews/comments: @ wonvertu…
-
Two days after the events in "One Last Chance" The Executor was fully operational, but chief engineer Jarvis decided that he'd give a small present to the senior officers by listing the holodecks as inoperational. Only the senior staff knew the truth, and had been sneaking into the holodecks to enjoy some rest and…

I am still finishing my out-of-cycle story about Hillel trying to reclaim his position, so LC 48 isn't started. I'm tempted to write something titled "X, or Teaching Algebra During Interstellar War." Writing an after-action report doesn't sound all that exciting. As usual, I'm reading entries out of order. @ burstdragon323…
-
@ jonsills - I look forward to more Mycroft. @ knightraider6 - that was amazing! Sad, but great. I am impressed. I haven't decided what to do with Alice. I wrote a stand-alone piece on Yair Hillel trying to re-join Starfleet that I haven't posted yet, so maybe I'll combine that with whatever happens to Alice. She's…
-
My latest entry uses the number 47 in a way that I think is unique so far. It might not be immediately obvious. Thanks to whoever made the comment in a previous thread about Counselor ch'Raul being bad-TRIBBLE enough to punch a senior officer in the face and get away with it. Now to more reviews... @ rextorvan36 - that was…
-
Amanda Carpenter Amanda Carpenter sat on her bed and thought of Miguel Jarvis. Thankfully both were assigned to the Executor now that the Reaper was scrapped. She had a feeling that Jarvis was finally ready for a long-term commitment. The only question was when he would seal the deal. Kerna'tharan Captain Smith contacted…

@ wraithshadow13 - the eggs were an interesting idea. I noticed that you have a few small mistakes, like using "where" instead of "were" and splitting words like "doorway" into "door way" and "fingertips" into "finger tips." If you look you'll spot them. Thanks for the feedback. I updated my entry to make it clearer. You…

I added the cadet so that ch'Raul could have another moment of humor. I figure that there must be hundreds of cadets around Earth with nothing better to do than be pilots for more experienced officers. Perhaps the story would have ended better without it?
-
@ patrickngo - I love Vulcans who don't fit the mold! @ marcusdkane - I enjoyed your entry (as usual). One minor note - the sentence starting with "But it was enough of..." might sound better broken up into two sentences. More comments later. (Yes, I am a procrastinator.) Your synopsis is correct! I enjoy writing about…
-
My entry is posted. Originally I had ch'Raul sending the sleeping cadet here, but I decided that was a bit excessive. About posting incomplete work - personally I think that is only acceptable if you are seeking honest feedback. If you are stuck, or think that a certain portion could be better but you just don't know how,…

My mind started to wander as I waited for the runabout to launch. I recalled the spontaneous call from my grandmother when I was a second year student at the Academy. Without any introduction, she told me about her first husband. I was shocked to find out that she even had a first husband - Vulcans can keep secrets, but…

I wrote my story today and will edit it later. I am glad that no one has thought of my use of 47 yet. For now, here are some comments. @ sharpie65 - can you flesh this out some more? @ grylak - yeah, I can see how humans would discard reason and have tribble pets. @ masopw - I thought that was interesting. I need to go…
-
I agree. Now I have to make it happen...
-
That worked out really well. I'm satisfied!
-
@ ironphoenix113 - I find it interesting that you frequently write happy romantic pieces while I frequently write depressing ones where people's relationships are broken. Your stuff is much more positive and optimistic than mine! @ asardetemplari - referring to J'mpok as "Jimmy" is funny. Here's a suggestion - having the…
-
@ jonsills - that was a nice entry. I like how Nniol handles his situation - immediately falling back on years of experience while realizing this is probably freaking out Tovan. This is a good discussion. I have always imagined that a fair portion of Bajorans will always be self-sufficient and resent outside help. But also…
-
My entry counts as a "backstory" since it backtracks several months behind where I currently am with my storytelling. Then it jumps into the great unknown, which is really the consummation of a good backstory. Or maybe I just can't follow the topic rules verbatim. The wormhole encounter that I reference is here. @…

All men seek happiness. This is without exception. Whatever different means they employ, they all tend to this end. The cause of some going to war, and of others avoiding it, is the same desire in both, attended with different views. The will never takes the least step but to this object. This is the motive of every action…
