May Writing Challenge - The Early Years

[Count Zero]

Ha! I knew that stating there were no rules would come back to bite me in the ass.
I hate to be the bad guy but it has been presumed in all the contests that stories previously posted are not eligible. The point of the challenge is to write a new story. So I won't include it in the voting thread. Sorry.

 

[Goliath]

Hmm. I actually have an idea for this one.

And I'd be willing to bet that it's an era nobody here has written about.

That's cool with me.

I don't know what you mean.

 

[Goliath]

Anyway, here's mine:

ENT: "Countdown"

In case it's not clear, each "count" is a drabble--one hundred words long. So the whole story is 1100 words.

Anyone who's unfamiliar with the mysterious USS Enterprise XCV 330 may wish to read this first.

 

[SLWalker]

Ha! I actually managed to write someone. Call the media.

Count Zero--just a heads-up to let you know I sent you a PM regarding my entry idea.

 

[Mistral]

I won't read Kaz's entry until I see the movie-I just hope I can get to it b4 the voting....

 

[Count Zero]

Yeah, his story gives away a major plot point.

I intend to write a story in the Abramsverse, too, but it takes place before the movie and doesn't contain any spoilers for the movie.

 

[trampledamage]

I'm going crazy! I've got an idea for a story, and I've even got it half-written, but my daughter's pre-school are having a Hallowe'en costume day in a couple of weeks so I need to sort out her a costume for that. Just hope I have time to come back to the story afterwards.

And I had such high hopes of actually entering early this month... *sigh*

 

[Kaziarl]

Yes, indeed. And please, let me know what you think of the story in comparison to what they showed in the movie once you see it.

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

All right...here's my entry, "Point of Divergence."

(Oh, and I may end up writing a Trek XI-inspired short story sometime as well, but I won't be entering it. All I'll say is...one throwaway line, and a whole realm of intriguing possibilities...)

 

[Count Zero]

Will it be about the 'Cardassian Sunrise'?

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Will it be about the 'Cardassian Sunrise'?

You got the title! But as to what actually HAPPENS...well, I don't want to spoil that because I think it could be a bombshell.

But that's the fun of having almost NO canon to restrict me--I get to go wild.

 

[Count Zero]

I'm intrigued and looking forward to reading it.

Man, I really got to finish my story for this challenge but I seem to have hit a writer's block on that one. I have an idea for another story in the Abramsverse, though.

Take it with a grain of salt, people.

 

[perigee]

Alright - lets give this a shot. I haven't done this since 1974, but I'm willing to give this a go, for the few days we have left. Somebody want to point me to the instructions on how to post these things, or who to send them to?
