    Mine is up. I had alot of fun with this one. I've done some exploring with Mirror possibilities and I was glad to be able to reveal a few.

    In the Mirror Universe, would't the Ferangi be honorable businessmen? ;)

    *sigh*

    I had a lot of trouble with the last Mirror Universe Challenge. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do this one, but I'll try figuring something out. :)

    I'm curious about how to do this. I've not written in the mirror universe yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it.

    As far as i can tell only Humans are different. The alien races of the galaxy are largely unchanged.

    I think you're right about that. There are aliens that are different, but it's more on an individual basis than anything race-sweeping.

    Is anyone working on another post? Mine is looking pretty lonely up there.

    Yeah, I was a little surprised by that myself. Personally I just haven't been in much of a writing mood, but seeing how no one else has posted I'll have to toss some thing up there. Personally though I'm not sure it was such a great idea to make the story in part about something that is turning out to be a bit unpopular. Maybe if people weren't reading so much negativity about lobi crystals then perhaps people would have more stories up.

    I've got an idea. I'm hoping to get to it this week. It's been hectic, and time is in short supply.

    Amen to that!

    Lobi Crystals are pretty much useless with out spending way too many C-points, even in the actual show Lobi Crystals were completely useless, so i'm probably going to skip this just so i don't end up writing something rude about them. I've been trying to get some ideas down, but i just can't get behind Cryptic's lotto boxes nor the horrible things that come out of them. In the show they were used as part of a complete ferengi scam, and frankly that looks to be pretty canon in regards to the game as well. I'm hoping the next challenge will be less store related.

    I actually laughed out loud when I read this. Congratulations, sir, that was well played. I think many of us have problems with this story hook and it is indeed living up to the idea of it being a "Literary Challenge".

    Bran, in the future perhaps could we get something less corporate driven and more fun to write about? It seems kind of galling to have Lobi crystals so omnipresent in STO at the moment, even going so far as to have them follow us to our creative outlet. If you want us to draft copy for PW or STO, let us know and we can have it be a side thing.

    I was just trying to tie it back to something relevant in STO. As the rules say, the background story is just to provide some background. Feel free to change it however you want, as long as it sticks to the theme.

    Cheers,

    It seems that the mirror universe is a lot harder to write about, so I will use those stories very sparingly moving forward. Thanks to Gingie and Soridem for participating in this challenge, though!

    I am going to unsticky this now as I prepare to post challenge #18. Feel free to continue commenting about the 2 published stories, and about others that get added.

    Cheers,
