Literary Challenge #50 : Redux 2.0
This is the comments thread for Literary Challenge #50 : Redux 2.0.
We also have an Index of previous challenges HERE.

Feel free to link directly to the entry you are commenting on. And please remember: we're not here to tear each other up. Do not troll your fellow Captains, give feedback! Let the others know what you liked and disliked. Maybe they can even go back then and tweak their entries!

Let's get those creative juices flowing! :cool:

    Ah, another Redux round. :)

    This'll provide a bit of extra material--we can each post multiple entries here, as long as we have ideas for previous challenges, right? :cool:

    I have lots of ideas from previous challenges. I think the first five LCs are locked though, or archived or whatever.

    You can still read them, though :) The entries for challenge #50 should not be posted in their original threads, but here: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=856431

    Cheers,

    I suppose if I ever want to write entries for LCs 1-5, I could always make a new post.

    Currently, Challenge 50 is a Redux, so you can put entries for 1-5 in the LC 50 Thread. :D

    So can we redux any challenge even if we haven't participated in it?

    Awesome, I was working on something which would have been standalone anyway, but now I'll just post it under a redux of the 'free-writing' challenge :cool: Well, once it's finished :cool:

    Having looked back through the index, I spot one that is perfect for the continuation of my current story arc.

    LC10: replicator Rations. Oh praise be, this means I'll be able to carry on the story where I intended to take it. This is gonna be fun!

    I've been wanting to do the Challenge "Replicator Rations" as part two of LC 48 to continue my origin expansion.

    Very nice--hopefully the Bedford has the proper computer equipment to house Mycroft. :D

    Ooh this is great, there's one that I've had an idea for for a while now, I'm really excited to finally get that written! It will be long, and it will have everything, from emotions to action to questionable decisions! Now I've only got to find the time to write it...

    @aten66: It wasn't nice for the Think Tank to destroy the Ocampans with a planet killer. Gregs seems to be more multifaceted than a typical superpowered being, so it was nice to see the Traveler help Gregs come to terms.

    Now what fun I can have with this new challenge...we may...just may.... see that alternate reality. If of course I could find an acceptale past LC to show this. Que the sound effects!

    I'll be sitting this one out, I fear - not because my wells of inspiration have become like unto pits of alkali ringed with bleached bones or anything like that; I just want to keep the momentum going in the longer story thread I've started.

    Will be reading with interest, though.

    Just curious, is it ok to post multiple entries on this one? With the open playbook, I've got a couple other ideas on the burner I might want to try.

    I like what I've read so far.

    @dariuslorelei - all of your apostrophes have been turned into ?s. This happens whenever you copy from a word processor like MS Word. You might want to go through and fix that.

    @rextorvan36 - looking forward to seeing the rest!

    Hmm...started with LC45 Freestyle, and here's LC50 Redux...and I choose Freestyle.

    So...{frantic typing}...

    Done and up. Feedback, as always, is most appreciated!

    First four...nice work. All criticism is sent constructively...

    @azniadeet: awesome. Just awesome. So awesome I *have* to pick two nits...only bears can fight with bear hands...and the tabletop gamer in me must insist the singular form of dice is die. But I reiterate, awesome story.

    @jaelk: Nice. Great use of the reset button. Some typos - then instead of than, Starfleet instead of Star fleet, and some sentences could use a comma to give it a clearer rhythm.

    @dariuslorelie: the dreaded "?" instead of " ' ". Treknology nit: impulse speeds are sub-warp, given as fractions, or perhaps even as a percentage of full impulse...but 4.5 doesn't fit. Some punctuation polish would ease readability, and there are some typos - supplies, not supply's, etc.

    @rextorvan36: Hook set...I want to know what B'Valla looks like after 4 hours in the make up chair! Some "?"s popped up where I don't think they were meant to be, and some polish on grammar/punctuation here and there could be done.

    Patrickngo and I have a new story in the works entitled "The Dark Horse" for you all to enjoy.

    It's an adaptation of the KDF episode arc "The Fek'Ihri" return that serves an anchor point for this whole universe we've been building together for the last six months or so.


    @masopw - excellent, excellent entry. I loved the shades of Johnny Got His Gun, and the way you seemed to channel John De Lancie.

    Thank you for the feedback and the compliments. I went back to edit my errors, but when I did, the forum cut off my story. So I reposted it in full, and I included some pictures I made of actors cast for the roles of my crew at the end.

    I really liked how you used the canon characters as moral sounding boards, I thought that was a really effective device :cool:

    Posted the first part of my contribution :) I've chosen to do Literary Challenge #41 - Call to Arms. I've simplified and spiced it up a bit, if that makes sense. It's going to be a two-parter, because it's already getting quite long and I think I need a break now after spending literally the whole day writing.

    All and any feedback is welcome! :)
