This is the discussion thread for Unofficial Literary Challenge #50: "King Redux the Fifth".

As usual, be honest and polite.

Has anyone got anything going?

I plan to write something, though just need to find some time.

I'm blocked. I've got an idea (DSC captain McCoin working with SI Admiral Grunt to swipe plans for Terran Imperial version of the Crossfield, accidentally manages to steal an entire ship), but for some reason the story's just not coming out.

lol, nice. I could see the character conflict between the two with one guy "really not okay with how things are going."

Maybe work backward, and decide what'd be an interesting climax or conclusion to reach.

We appear to not have this month's LC or indeed last month's? Is this normal?

I've slowed down the LCs for the last while because participation has been low, thinking I could give people more time to get their stories in. The First Contact one getting that many entries was an anomaly. (Plus I've been kind of annoyed with the game and devs lately. Losing the Foundry was pretty demoralizing.)

I'm going to try to put up #51 tomorrow.
