My entry is halfway done. Lately, I just haven't been able to muster the energy or effort to actually write anything (hence why I missed so many LC's), and I have no idea if it's been writers block or just me needing a break. Thankfully, though, I've managed to kick myself back into action for this LC, and it helps that its a topic that I really like.
Incidentally, does anyone else find that they get all of their best writing done in an environment with absolutely zero wi-fi, like a subway?
Last few days, decided to post a teaser. Maybe I'll write a proper final one of these days. /shrug I figured I made up the topic, I should have at least contributed something.

Ok, mine is up. I'm still practicing combat-writing, so tell me what you think. I also have not had a chance to read most of the entries so far, so if the idea has already been used ... well then call it writer's block on my part :P
@marcus, instead of being a jumping off point, I decided to use your ship and Captain, straight up. I hope this is acceptable, if not, throw me a line and I'll make arrangements.

Alright, finally got mine done! I might go back later and edit it a bit so I can (1) clean it up a bit, and (2) to maybe throw in a few one more Captain's perspective. Otherwise, I'm just glad to get this thing out the door.

Wow.
That was awesome.
Tense, apocalyptic, very nice.
I preferred doing a sort of more optimistic entry myself (the entirely nonserious Three story and the "Do'eth"/D'trel one where she tries to go out in a Blaze of Glory), but you are REALLY good at these doomsday scenarios.
Not many typos that I could see. Epic battle, Final Showdown of Ultimate Destiny feel--very nice!

So it was aaaalll [No Spoilers] That was absolutely sublime, your strongest piece yet :cool: All I could manage was a bridge bunny in her skivvies
@ambassadormolari - :eek: That really was awesome, with a name-check! I'm really impressed by this one. There are two coding errors though, but they did not distract from anything.
It was definetly amazing, no doubt about that. I am getting a familiar feeling from my piece, as if I already did it before. Des starts it off with a Captain's log, stuff happens, go to briefing room, make brilliant plan, more stuff happens, unexpected twist, everyone dies or is incapacitated, universe saved, Someone returns to their quarters, emotional breakdown, gets pep-talk, end on interesting note. Wow...even I didn't expect it to be THAT close, almost formulaic...
I'm afraid I put off the entry a bit too long, and it's late where I am when I posted it, so I'll post what I have now, then finish it throughout the day tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be done by the time the next one comes up, if not before midnight EDT.

Know the feeling. This seemed a huge subject that just begged for more than two weeks to tell the tale.
I do have to wonder at an Admiral like Lee having any problems dealing with holes popping up without warning right in your path if he grew up driving on County Line Road, but we'll let that pass....:)
Interesting read. I look forward to seeing how it ends.
Sorry worffan101...couldn't figure out how to get Three's tea with the lizard in the story...
May be the last one for a bit...more R/L interruptions have the nerve to interfere with entertainment. Haven't even played the *game* for some time.
Speaking of which...since I was inactive in the game, I got bounced from my fleet because they have over 500 members and cleaned house. (Didn't even have the courtesy of considering I was there from the start after we got burned by a previous fleet organizer that took loot and locked the bank.)
Any suggestions for a casual fleet for people who, (a) don't have time to memorize each and every STF procedure where x *has* to happen at y, (b) know how to interact with each other in a respectful and courteous manner, (c) don't have time to be online 24/7 and contribute millions of fleet marks (I don't even have 1 million EC to buy a purple EMH...) (d) won't take what you do contribute and lock the bank or bounce you?

Fine by me, dude. It's your story, after all.
Very nice entry. Not really on the topic, but sweet action and a very nice femme fatale.
I'm fleet 2IC (and de facto boss) of the Romulan Star Republic (Fed) and 3IC of the Imperial Klingon Military (KDF). Both fit your needs. Fleet boss Ngirex runs a free but friendly ship, everybody's nice, we've got experienced PVPers and elite STF guys who like nothing better than showing newbies the ropes...*
Good fleets. Just drop me a tell at Three@worffan101 or Do'eth@worffan101, and I'll get you in. RSR is a newer fleet (IKM's Fed sister fleet), so we don't have many facilities yet, but we have shipyard tier 1 and a bunch of projects to fill.
*Not that you have any obligation to do PVP or STFs; these guys are just here and happy to teach if you want to learn. We're a relatively young (still not quite to starbase 5, but t3 on everything else) but close-knit fleet with a lot of really great people.
Many of our top guys have alts in the fleet, too, so you can get whatever help you need. They're usually good to switch toons and pull their Eng alts or Sci alts or whatever in to fill support roles in STF teams. Some of the guys do light RP, and fleet boss Ngirex likes to say short Klingon phrases a lot for motivational purposes, so you won't feel completely lost. I'm the only guy who writes here in the fleet (as far as I know), but we're an open and friendly bunch, whether sitting in the bloodwine bowl on the starbase, speed-running elite STFs, running KGE for the accolade, or trading borderline risque stories and anecdotes about crazy roommates and crazy work/RL/whatever stuff.
Very nice entry. Not really on the topic, but sweet action and a very nice femme fatale.
Thanks!
Well...there was a battle...and it was final....and....uh....
(ok. I admit I didn't read the full challenge. The title grabbed my attention and ran with an idea. My bad.)
Re: fleet info: thanks as well for the invite...I'll drop you a line next time I log in. (Maybe I'll even pick up Rosetta Stone: Klingon to join the conversation like a native speaker....:D )
I've worked to the wee hours of the morning (again) but I've finally finished my entry to the 61st LC. Hopefully it's up to your liking, as sleep deprivation is getting to me and I will now go to sleep and hopefully wake up to the next LC.

Very tasty :cool: Good to see my girls playing well together too

@masopw - My fleet does not actively recruit and we are a handful of players from City of Heroes that wanted to stick together. The link to our boards is in my sig. We are quiet and chat more than play together, but we contribute to the fleet holdings diligently. All we ask is that you respect others and have fun your way. It's a slow moving but peaceful group. Check us out at your leisure. No commitments unless you join.

Agreed, It's always a great thing, being acknowledged by the originator. Thank you, Sir.
Incidentally, does anyone else find that they get all of their best writing done in an environment with absolutely zero wi-fi, like a subway?
YES!
... and then I forget the idea ...:(
-Leonard Nimoy, RIP
Not bad. No issues that I can see.
I wonder what the next topic will be?
@marcus, instead of being a jumping off point, I decided to use your ship and Captain, straight up. I hope this is acceptable, if not, throw me a line and I'll make arrangements.

Wow.
That was awesome.
Tense, apocalyptic, very nice.

So it was aaaalll [No Spoilers]
LOL, marcus.......
All I managed was Three being completely insane and D'trel doing a suicide run at an Iconian fleet.
I think that both of us took the easy way out this time...
Yeah. It was tons of fun, though. And Three just came so naturally to that one...
But you had to write T'nae as a borderline decent person, when the best I can do is make her just a nasty Vulcan supremacist.
:cool:
My entry is up. Hopefully, worth the wait.
Enjoy!

ABout to read to my hearts content, though I may not comment, because I have a movie to get to!
Hope the next one is as good as this one!
