    Yay! I actually have an idea for prompt number 1!

    And maybe 2...

    And 3 I may have an idea for, who knows?

    I want to write a crew that just doesn't bother to get their Captain back. lol

    Some of our captains, our crews wouldn't bother, they'd just kill time until they saw a huge explosion and go, "Okay, everybody look busy, Captain's back!"

    Just submitted my first entry. Mostly to poke fun at Winter Wonderland, as I haven't played it yet, but I ad this idea since the blog came out with the Snowconians.

    Maybe the Borg Queen is all alone on New Years and just longs for the day some dashing Android will meet her under the mistletoe and help her kill all humans.
    Somebody please write this. This is the most amazing thing <3 (I also read that as "dashing Andorian" first, which would've been even better imo.)

    Haha! Nice one Aten66. I love the gradual loosing of sanity as the week goes on.

    Aten, that was brilliant. Game references are the best. :D

    Here was mine from last year. I think I might do a follow-up to it this month.

    I got a bit of an idea for a riff on the song "Christmas in the Trenches".

    Or something involving a mid-war Christmas at any rate.

    On the other hand, maybe this song is more usable with all the TRIBBLE going on right now:

    Aten: The slow descent into insanity in that was hilarious.

    Aten66- nice one. It's probably wise not to gaze too deeply into the void of the Gingerbread Village. :P

    Still busy, might get something, a brief case of godhood sounds fun.

    It could be a very over the top, tacky, silly piece in the spirit of every cheesy Christmas romcom ever made! :D

    I have an *idea*...the problem is it doesn't fit my crews or continuity whereas I think it would fit someone else better. Basically my idea is that as crazy as it is, Q Junior actually has a serious intention behind the Winter Wonderland. I wonder how I could farm it out without spoiling the idea to the eventual readers...

    Santa: I am here to bring Christmas cheer to people like you who no longer believe.
    Worf: I am a klingon warrior...we do not believe in Christmas cheer.
    *poof*
    A Christmas Ornament now marks the position where Worf once stood.
    Picard: Counselor,what are you sensing from him? Is he part of the Q continuum?
    Troi: I sense great jolliness.
    Picard: You will return my officer back to the way he was and release my ship.
    Santa: You are in no position to demand anything from me. I am here to judge if you have been naughty or nice.

    Literary Language?

    Yeah, I'm not following up on Aten's post. That was a fun read!

    Personally, I just think Q Junior is trying to compete against Kishur Zelretch Schweinorg for his title of The Ultimate Troll. B):D

    I guess English isn't expansive enough for their creativity.

    There's always John.Q.Random captain if you want a one-off. Sounds interesting!

    Language itself isn't enough for us. But this is just the first step. Our next challenge will be Unofficial Literary Everything so we can convert life, the universe and everything in it into a simplified form, possibly a number.
