"Mirror, Mirror" Line-by-Line!

I messaged CoveTom, so hopefully we'll hear something soon.

Btw, he did answer your question a couple of threads back.

Vanyel: Back in the mid-90's I ran a dial-up BBS system called "The Cove." That's where the the name CoveTom comes from. The story of how the BBS came to be called "The Cove" is an entirely separate, and lengthier, matter...

So in the Mirror Universe, would the Dark Phoenix be even worse?

And wearing less?
 
The participants from our current thread are as follows:

1. CoveTom
2. leandar
3. JanewayRulz!
4. Enterprise981
5. Ziz
6. Vanyel
7. KirkPicard
8. Admiral Shran
9. LeadHead
10. Captain Robert April
11. RandyS
12. Wingsley
13. Alienesse
14. Brian

Those names should be in the order in which each person first posted to the thread. No "weight" is given for who posted more or less often. Special thanks to LeadHead for compiling the list!

(If anyone has been inadvertently left off the list of participants, please let me know and I'll try to make it up on the next go-around.)

And now, it's time for random.org to do it's magic...

*drumroll*

leandar!

Once a new episode has been chosen, I will fire up the next line-by-line thread in the appropriate forum and post the link here.

NOTE: As has been agreed, when a person is selected as the "chooser," they will have 48 hours to post their selection. After 48 hours, I will assume they "pass" and will re-run the randomization.

Regarding the origins of my username, it's not as juicy a story as you're hoping for. :) As I said in the last thread, I used to have a dial-up BBS called The Cove, and that's where "CoveTom" comes from.

Originally, back in the old pre-Internet days, a friend and I tried setting up BBS software on my parents' phone line at home just to fire up whenever we wanted to be able to trade files with one another. We gave it some cheesy name like "Connection America" or something like that. Later, after we'd played with the software for a while, we decided that we'd like to actually do a real, live BBS that was open to the public.

So we did. And we needed a name. As a teenager, I was a fan of Disney's remake of The Mickey Mouse Club, which they usually referred to as MMC. On that show, they had a little teen soap opera going that they called Emerald Cove, so that was the first thing we named the BBS. But on further reflection, we decided that maybe we shouldn't use a name that was a direct ripoff of Disney, so we shortened it to just "The Cove."

See? It was a long story, and ultimately not very satisfying. :)

:cool: Thanks, I liked it.
