Yeah, the worst I ever bombed a test was in Finance. I managed to crawl my way painfully back up to a B by the end of the semester, but that was HORRIBLE.

Title: Magnanimous
Pairing: None
Rating: G
Words: 349
Disclaimer: Paramount's characters, though they don't get nearly enough love from Paramount. Not for profit.
Notes: Ha! A Chekov story, written for my little sister Karen, prompted by the word 'magnanimous'. Really short. Humor. Originally posted here: here. Yes, I can and do write much longer stories. ;-) But with the ensemble cast, I usually revert to humor and short.

That's funny! For some reason, I would've pegged Chekov as the messy one, not Sulu!
I love how you repeat the "facts of the case" to drive home Chekov's indignation.
"Chekov just stared. He had a galley stove in his quarters. He had goo on his table. There was white powder on his floor."
You can just feel him getting more and more steamed!

With Sulu's characterization, I always really liked how the L.A. Graf team wrote him, Chekov and Uhura, and usually go with that interpretation. That's where Sulu's fifty-million hobbies came from. Thanks so much for the comment! My sister is a Chekov-devotee, and this was all for her.
Thanks! Had I been here, I doubtless woulda been in on it.
I'll keep an eye out for the next!

I can sympathize completely with Kirk--I hate tax time! Also liked the Sulu and Chekov scene with Chekov as the long-suffering buddy.
These are really very nice vignettes, but can we coax you into a longer project?

You poor thing. When I start posting my long storyline, you're probably gonna cry for me to please go back to writing short little stories.
Thank you for the comment!
Title: A Little Sympathy
Rating: Barely PG; one very mild cuss word
Prompt: 'Scruffy' by InfiniteViking
Timeline: 2267
Words: 878
Disclaimer: All Paramount's, not mine.
Notes: This is a bit of kind of silly, fluffy humor. It also may explain why Spock was so zen later on with the space hippies.

Hah, what an image! Now remind me, what episode was the one involving the space hippies?
(I'm afraid I know most TOS episodes by summary, not by having actually seen them.)

That would be The Way to Eden, which is not exactly the best and brightest TOS has to offer. There were a lot of things that kinda sucked about it, and Spock having a jam session with the hippies was a little wince-worthy.
True, but at no point did someone cock their head and ask, "Brain, brain... what is brain?"

Oh, absolutely. LOL! I adore TOS into the very bottom of my heart, but there was plenty of bad to go around. Space hippies or Spock's Brain, there were definitely moments of wince-worthy material.
Title: Rituals
Rating: G
Timeline: 2267
Words: 420
Disclaimer: They belong to Paramount, not me.
Notes: For my friend Gumnut -- Kirk, Spock and McCoy share a ritual, but it's not the one you may think. Kinda grim, but not. Last of my 'general' short stories.

Very good...this is something we don't always get to see, except in written stories most of the time: the aftermath of the battle, and how that must weigh on the commanders involved. No matter how important your cause is, it still hurts.
Amen to that.
Very nice work on this SLWatson. Brief, yet very poignant.
It does hurt, I'm certain of it. I take a really eye-level view of the characters in Trek. If you end up reading the Arc of the Wolf, you'll see what I mean. I love a good battle scene, but really am not so good at writing them; love action and adventure, but still struggle with it. So, most everything I write, even with battles and adventure, tends to be character-driven above all.
Thanks so much for the comment!
Amen to that.
Thank you. I wasn't too sure of this one, and still am not perfectly thrilled with it, but if it hit a chord then I've done my job.
Yeah? Got some stoics in your cast?
And yeah, I'm kinda glad for it too. I've written my share of emotional stoics, and the more isolated they are, the more they tend to suffer.
They've suffered their share, to be sure.
