Question for y'all: If the writing bug has left you at some point for whatever reason, was there a catalyst that brought it back? Did avoidance or immersion improve or worsen your desire to jot stuff down? Need some type of guidance/advice or I'm afraid the crew of the Bonaventure is lost for good...

But do they get discounts based on the quality of their costume? ;) "Moogie...I need that Marauder Mo Official Plasma Whip to complete the costume. Slugo Cola is offering a 3.2% discount on their license fees when bidding in Greelworm Heights. No? I'll make you a deal..."

Depends on the service, and if the officer and their superior are graduates of their service academy. A lot of it is the, "it's not what you did, it's who you know" factor as to the level of scrutiny you're placed under. Another variable is, "who is looking in?" If a politician has made inquiries then the magnifying glass…

A reference to "Threshold"? An acknowledgement that it exists? :( Ack...I'm gonna have to leave this thread for a few months because of this...;)

Thanks, worffan, and thank your friend also. Funny how styles and regionality work...reviews from fellow Canucks I sent this to came back more favourably. If I had to "defend" my work, I'd say that, yes, real people do talk that way; malfunctioning tech in Trek is a harbinger of a really bad day (lingering establishing…

@marcusdkane: Thanks! Clinton was meant to be the kid who screws up and actually believes in the 'forgive and forget' concept, not realizing that every organization has a loooong memory. I think that S31 doesn't place all candidates in a 'pass or die' test; some people are too valuable, and might eventually come around to…
-
Thank you! I thought that not all potential recruits would make it into S31, and some would fail in a disturbing manner...
-
Best of luck with the new home, and may your new little Trekker be healthy!

Xindi Paradox is up, and not a single ellipsis to be found!:P

Joint DTI/S31 Station "The Eye", Present Day The blond man sat alone in the replimat, staring silently at the flickering light in the left rear corner. He picked at his dessert now and then, a frown slowly growing on his face. A quick squeal emitted from the overhead speaker, and the replicator on the right side chimed as…

Hmm..cool..I'll take those hits. All of them are fair. Please convey my gratitude for their time, and thanks for taking your time to post it! You all can have my ellipsis when you pry the "." Key from my cold keyboard! I *am* the Ellipsis King!:eek: I shall name my next runabout Queen Ellipsis, Of the House Ellipsis, First…

(Puts skin thickener on...) Sure, worffan101...I'd like to see what others think! (Slathers even more skin thickener on with an industrial sized trowel...)
-
@worffan101: Thanks for the feedback! The thought of submitting stuff to another site, though, is a bit intimidating... @cmdrscarlet: I shall endeavour to keep putting out stuff that entertains! I have a huge backlog of LC's to go through, so must have not gotten around to the particular reference yet...I thought that with…
-
@cmdrscarlet: Thanks! If you like Orions...you're gonna love the wrap up to this 'Dark Matter' storyline of mine... @worffan101: Thank you! Karma has a way of coming back and smiting those who deserve it...Icky and Durak both meet the qualifiers for being huge targets. As for the Theseus, the mess isn't over yet...not by a…
-
@shevet: Awesome battle, and an excellent story! Deltan tantric specialists...I immediately remembered Sulu & Chekov's reactions when they learned a Deltan would be on the bridge!:D @icerose20: an interesting tale! Good wordplay. If I have one nit, it's channeling a character from another franchise and using the…
-
Second tale's done. I think I got lost between where I started and where it ended up...so...er... Yep.:o
-
I'll second the vote for the Nebula as Grunt's next command. Had technical difficulties this weekend, so couldn't get the second tale finished...and couldn't meet other authors on Risa on the 27th. D'oh x2!!! Of course, if you want to read the first part of the tale, I won't go back and change it...it's just much easier to…

USS Theseus, Somewhere in the Kassae Sector "And that's pretty much the whole story, Tracy." The young ensign leaned back on the couch, mouth agape. She absentmindedly brushed a stray red hair from her face, then crossed her arms. "Remarkable, Skipper. I can't believe that's how you figured it out." Zh'rissa uncrossed her…
-
@aten66: Thank you! Ahh...the hate for Durak means y'all have created a recurring villain! Reviews: @ryan218: Can't wait to see how he gets his ship back! (Quick nit...if you break up the scenes with a page break it might be an easier read. You've got a few quick scene changes, and I had to read it twice to figure out what…
-
Great idea...Nico will beam down Friday, barring server issues. Or maybe L'naa's Romulan alter ego, given that she was the character I did the grinding with last year and has appropriate relaxed attire and supercharged floater. (Although I can't figure out why I'd grind for 1000 pearls *per* swimsuit when you can't wear…
-
@gulberat: thanks! Sorry you didn't enjoy the movie plot...I tried to figure out something nobody else would do. Glad you liked that Figler was a better rep to the Cardassian people than Durak was! @worffan101: thank you! Also, thanks for the explanation as to the snacking order...that makes sense. @sander233: thanks brah!…

Spasibo! Sometimes issues at work are honest oversights or innocent errors without any intended malice...but sometimes adults turn the workplace into something resembling the worst high schools, with cliques, bullying, and immature actions. I'd think that Starfleet's got it's share, like Dexter Remmick. (The type that…
-
@worffan101. Wow! (Sends subspace memo to fleet, advising them to decline dinner reservations at D'trel's...) Great tale! Dorak got off too easy. The only thing that bothers me is the order for her senior staff to join her in the ceremony. She took on the promise. If her crew should join in, they should do so out of…
-
Ok...my mind is percolating something for the 4028 piece that flows from the last two LC's: What happens when a dark vengeance is offered to those seeking exactly that? What happens when malevolence is given form? Will the crew allow a sacrifice that might prevent further horror? What line is the line that can not be…

Movie Night "Peace? Really? No more fighting Klingons? No more bad dreams of a bat'leth in my backside?" It was hard to gauge the age of some Caitians, but the kit that posed the question had a bit of a reputation for being immature. He liked inappropriate pranks, and laughed at politically incorrect jokes involving human…
-
"Busted...again?" It might be the starboard latch that keeps the Captain's Gig snug against the primary hull, a tractor beam that shorts out every time the target is at 4.3 km from the ship, or a sensor pallet that just won't stop sending feedback into the primary deflector array. It could be the torpedo launcher's exhaust…
-
@jonsils: great, as usual. So...is Grunt a family name? :P Liked how the trips to the multiverses seemed like "just" another annoyance to the other crew...and Grunt seemed to take it in stride too. Guess he's played the game... @worffan101: enjoyed it! I didn't feel that Jack didn't sound too off character, but sounded a…
-
@cmdrscarlet & worffan101: thanks! The Bonaventure is indeed an Odyssey-class as worffan101 said. She's a Sci-Oddy with the full console set, although the chevron gets separated a lot less than her Aquarius, the Rouge Valley. But she goes through an awful lot of workbees...something I might have to work into some LC some…
-
Some more reviews: @grylak: Re: use of deadly force: "We warned them off, they attacked. We have plenty of justification." Loved it...but don't think it would fly in a 21st century briefing! Am quite curious as to how the Viper is going to get home... (Pt.2) Really enjoyed the concept that it was somebody's mind instead of…

The yellow hippos said: According to "A Ceremony of Losses", an Andorian shelthreth (pregnancy) takes place after a Thaan (alpha male) fertilizes a Shen (alpha female). The Chan (beta male) also fertilizes the eggs. At some point the eggs are transferred from the womb of the Shen to a pouch on the Zhen, the only member of…
