This is the discussion thread for
Unofficial Literary Challenge #20: "Coming Around Again".
As usual, be honest, polite, and supportive. As I noted last month, it is your contributions, not only as a writer, but most importantly, as readers and as reviewers, which make these challenges appealing and worth participating in. So if you enjoy something you've read, please take a moment to let the writer know

Edit: Interesting. Italicize a word the filter disapproves of, and it'll replace it with asterisks - but it will put the asterisks in italics.
Aww dammit, where's writing time when you need it. I've got ideas for all these prompts. Heck, the Nibiru one, I've got a massive crossover with all my captains going. And some inspiration from Doctor Who's The Silence. Or at least what I thought they should have been. AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
Right. This month, I'm going to force myself to sit down and write prompts for all of these.
A Romulan Strike Team, Missing Farmers and an ancient base on a Klingon Border world. But what connects them? Find out in my First Foundary mission: 'The Jeroan Farmer Escapade'
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with
With regards Nibiru, and jonsills' thought:
An idea has come to me, which I'm going to make an 'editorial suggestion' about:
The planets within each system are aligned with the planets within that system, rather than being aligned with themselves and the planets in the other systems. I'd guess that could leave three 'cosmic lines', which could then form the points of a 'cosmic triangle' (when viewed from a certain point of view )
Of course, everyone is welcome to tackle the prompt as they feel best, I just thought that I would make that suggestion as it came to me
The suns of the three systems are going to be equidistant from two separate pulsars - their meeting point, combined with warp traffic and subspace damage from Iconian gateways, causes a portal to the mysterious planet to form.
Or its three ancient calendars coinciding, sort of a Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth scenario
For the prompts - definitely reduxing a sequel to my Odd Couple contribution back in 13.

On a side note - have we had any good LCs for a char being hunted? I'm working on an Odd Couple follow-up, but Thraak's story had a plot bunny about one of those marauding raids the Klingons did before we became all friends again.
