Salak Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Thank you!!!Minor quibble, but... in the IP.Board Pro skin at least, the yellow text is tricky to even see, nevermind read.

+ Clase Drene Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Aqua112 is a really excellent skin that shows the yellows quite well.,*puts the "Wink of an Eye" chemical mixture into a replicators gel pack for safe keeping*I have like three paragraphs done at this point but I bet I am jumping the gun somehow.,
Salak Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Aqua112 is a really excellent skin that shows the yellows quite well.,...except I don't like it. I use this skin cos I see it as the best of a bad bunch. (I've always been an awkward one; I didn't like the old space one either)Trying to think of something to write about, but can't get the Doctor who episode "Blink" out of my head...

AlexV Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I can think of worse ones to be stuck with, Salak.I've got a few ideas for this challenge, I just need to narrow it down to one and actually start writing
Salak Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 True, but that's the one episode that actually has had me behind the couch, lol
Nemitor Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 After a year I think its about time I returned. I'll have my submission posted on time.
Salak Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Dare I say it?..."small pieces of dust scattered through the dark enveloping realm"...Yup, I've begun an effort. Again.Yes, you do have permission to faint in shock if it actually gets submitted on time.
Guest Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I've have covered the floor in cushions, ready to faint if need be...And congratulations to Jack Kolk for winning the last round. Even if he did have to wait some time to find out Edited October 12, 2008 by Jhen Thelev
AlexV Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 The wait adds drama. Or at least that's the excuse I use when I'm late... Congrats Jack
Marine Captain Llewelyn Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I hope this doesn't alarm any of you, but I finished mine tonight, total typing about an hour and a half, but the story has been brewing in my head for about a day. Thank God for MS Word's Word counter. (NAILED IT AT 1000! ) Of course I'm gonna need someone to help me post it and I was wondering if my Cymbrogi Salak would guide me through the official process, (I'd hate to lose on a technicality). Also a question to the moderator. This story is clean, but I was wondering about alluding to Canon characters in a historical basis, as in "Ambassador Spock was instrumental in reaching out to the Romulan people during his unification and reconciliation efforts..." Is that okay? As I understand the word "character", we are precluded from interacting with or featuring actual persons as being part of the "cast" both main and supporting in the story. I should think that alluding to past accomplishments on their behalf, or citing missions that might have applicable relevence to an original story would be allowable, but I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly...Looking forward to reading the other entries,Ensign Iolo Madoc LlewelynShip's CounselorUSS INDEPENDENCE A Edited October 12, 2008 by Iolo Madoc Llewelyn
Salak Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I'll happily set the thread up for you, just give me a title to give it
Marine Captain Llewelyn Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I'll happily set the thread up for you, just give me a title to give it S'mae, Salak...Diolch yn fawr am amser. The title is "Stimulus and Response". Do I upload it as a reply after you start the thread? Hwyll,Iolo Madoc LlewelynPSThis story is inspired by an ongoing conversation between myself and the Vulcan/human Commander Moranta re: the vulcan mindset versus the human mindset. Although the story is not directly related to the subject discussed, it did cause me to think alot about Vulcans again, which led me to think about T'Pol and Trip on Enterprise, which led me to re-examine the dynamics of Vulcan Human interactions (along with a healthy appreciation of all of the "biological" wiki entries about Vulcans that included the now famous "relaxation" session photo of T'Pol )
James T. Kolk Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Tal Tel-ar,Did you mean your Klingon story to be marked as completed? or in-progress? Right now it's marked as neither and thus is not technically competing.
AlexV Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Just a quick follow-up to Iolo's question about mentioning canon characters... I've got something done, but on re-reading it realised that there are a number of references to stuff from the series (Nemesis, actually). If someone could tell me if this is acceptable or not, I'll know if I have to re-write the whole darn thing
Salak Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Depends what sort of references... If it's saying that "this happened on Romulus a few years ago" then I'd have thought it should be fine. If it's "I was on Cpt Rikers security detail that fought Remans on the Enterprise"... then it's questionable.
AlexV Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Nothing that blatant I'm thinking it'll probably be safer to re-write it. Shouldn't be a hassle.
Idril Mar Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 If we couldn't refer to the canon characters at all, there wouldn't be much we could do, would there? "Ooops, we can't visit DS9, because that's in the canon. Sorry!"Its just writing yourself into the canon, like being on Riker's team, that is an issue.
Salak Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 *sigh*Entry from a triple winner... I won't stand a chance.
Tal Tel-ar Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Tal Tel-ar,Did you mean your Klingon story to be marked as completed? or in-progress? Right now it's marked as neither and thus is not technically competing.It is complete... sorry... still learning how to do things here in the forum area...
Lance Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Can I assume that the title does not add to the word count? I am kind of at a thousand words.. >.>
AlexV Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Me too, according to MS Word, anyway... If I could ask a favor... Could someone open up a thread for me to post my entry? Title is Final Flight, and it's all done - just needs posting.
