I'll ask Count Zero to confirm the dates for this challenge and temporarily pin this post until the challenge period expires... Challenge Title: The Morning After Challenge Period: Through Wednesday, April 26. Voting = Thursday, April 27 - Sunday, April 30. Time Period: Any Trekverse Trekverse: Any Characters: Franchise or original, no limits Challenge: Two (or three or more) characters, under the influence of some intoxicant (legal, illegal or telepathic/empathic), got it together and had a magnificent night together. But on waking, one (or more) of them is having regrets. Why? And what do they do about it? Short is probably better than long. Funny, sad, naughty, erotic, dramatic, but no pron, please. (Funny has a tendency to win.) Publish your story, then reply to this thread and provide a link to your entry. For good measure, include a link back to this thread at the beginning of your entry. I'll leave it to the Count to manage the voting and count the results. Thanks!! rbs
Yeah, I kind of want to do that now. Might be a slight deviation, but a Cliff Notes version of trying to find a lost groom.
The ideas are just flashing by, each further from the last than the next. My mind is sort of like a wheel-o-fortune, a wildly spinning space station, where it stops, nobody knows. I'll let it spin for a bit, then see where it falls and who gets to win and who loses their bet. I'm thinking... nah, not that. I'll come up with something. Probably involving tentacles. -Will
That sounds awesome... There was a great sci-fi short story called "Tentacles" in which an alien researcher, disguised as a human, would lose control over his form and his tentacles wold come out when he was stimulated - which led to a religious following that chased him all over Earth trying to get him to transform - it was a riot. Okay - I forgot about this part: Publish your story, then reply to this thread and provide a link to your entry. For good measure, include a link back to this thread at the beginning of your entry. I'll leave it to the Count to manage the voting and count the results. Thanks!! rbs
I have an old chapter of "Everything Happens To Me" that would seem to almost fit the requirements, oddly enough. But as it's already been posted on fanfiction.net years ago...
In my opinion, that would be a qualifying entry, particularly if you have to re-work it for the purposes of the challenge. But I'm not the rule-maker. Count Zero is more or less the moderator of the challenge series. Count? Would this one count? Thanks!! rbs
I tried searching for Everything Happens to Me by @Laura Cynthia Chambers , and came up empty. Perhaps, even if it doesn't turn out to qualify for the challenge, you could post a link? -Will
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/everything-happens-to-me-repost.284359/ I've never posted that particular chapter before on TrekBBs, just fanfiction.net. The stories in this thread are out of order.
I say, go ahead and post the story on Trek BBS and enter it. We'll let the Count count them in or count them out. Thanks!! rbs
