This is the discussion thread for Unofficial Literary Challenge #45: "Old Friends".

As usual, be honest and polite.

    So far, yes. I can't speak to what the programmers have planned for later episodes (the moderation team isn't in contact with the dev team, other than sometimes sending them bugs).

    First one seems like could have some real fun, it's been an eventful couple of years and could justify anything.

    "So I got that apprenticeship after you headed off to the Academy and have been stuck in an archeological dig, what've you been up to? They ever get you posted to a ship?"

    ".... Oh boy."

    I like that. :D When I originally suggested that prompt I had a very different and considerably darker idea in mind for mine: Eleya has to arrest somebody she knew in boot camp with who later joined the Circle. I had it in mind as kind of an exploration of radicalization.

    Why am I a...
    your captain is having a bad day; somehow they are the oposit gender! write an entry explaining this mess, and the repercussions (ie are they stuck, cose not to go back?"
    A Trill, a Gorn, a Jem'Hadar, Bejoran and a Voth walk into a bar, and the Bartender asks "What is this a Joke?"
    "Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.

    Yes. Our literary challenges don't ever close, in fact, although we put up new prompts once a month.

    Heck, the tale I'm working on now combines two different ULC prompts, a crossover and an attack by a ship of the "Krenim Imperium" seeking to delete you from the timeline. (It's how the starship Time Bandit winds up orbiting the wrong Earth...)
