A series of short vignettes featuring characters from Star Trek: Tesseract before their mission to the Delta Quadrant.
Looking really good. I love the pre-launch idea so much I plan to use it myself. Thank you for sharing I'M moving on to check out the rest of this story.
Very entertaining. It was a good laugh and an interesting use of sci-fi and pop cultural satire. I will look for more of this authors work.
Meet Lili O'Day, sous-chef on the NX-01. In 2157, she's got little to look forward to, save hearing from Chef what's for dinner that night.
Until she begins having interesting dreams ....
=/=
This story has two musical themes.
Lili's theme is Roy Orbison's "Dream Baby": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSddgYKtPBE
Her mystery man's theme is Robbie Williams's "Feel": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XHuyJyyZXU
I enjoyed the premise of the story, it was very much a trek feeling situation. The writing style took me a little to get used to, I understand it was like an episode in how the narrative jumped around. The font change helped but I still found it difficult to follow. I hope this input helps.I dont mean to sound harsh, only to be honest. Thank you for the story.
Author's Response:
I appreciate it. I had originally done it with color but that got kind of messy. There's more -- we're just getting started! :)
Just read chapter nine, i like where its going. I hope Doug and Lily ......hmm dont want to spoil it. All Ill say is the USS Defiant successfully crossed over and remained.
Author's Response:
Oh, I'm glad! :)
They are getting there.
PIns and Needles. I'm really enjoying the suspense and build up. Write faster please. Haha just kidding, but not really.
I really like this story.
Author's Response:
Ha, that made me laugh!
I have reams and reams (well, electronic reams) .... Be careful what you wish for ....
Gahhhh cliff hangers. At least this isnt a season end cliff hanger and I have to wait 6 months or more for the conclusion lol. Awesome. The slow build up of suspense is excellent. Keep at it Jes, I'm really enjoying this story. Thank you
Author's Response:
It feels like I'm slowly playing out a fishing line.
Gahhh more cliffhanger!!! lol keep it up I'm hooked. Thank you Jes
Come on Doug!! That's your woman, get her, get her!! Oops sorry. The hook is set deeply.
Things are heating up, can't to see how it all plays out. Awesome build up and suspense Jes. Thank you
Author's Response:
It's a struggle to know how much to reveal. Glad that keeping a few veils on is a good thing!
What happens when you like someone who's different?
I mean, really different.
I kind of walked into this one, by suggesting that interspecies romance might start with a shy Gorn reciting original poetry to a lovely, blushing Cardassian. So here goes!
I like it.My curiosity is peaked and I am wondering how you are going to visualize the male. Near as I can tell among lizards there are two types of males. What sort are you going for? In any case can't wait to see how this develops. Added to favorites. Thank you Jes
Author's Response:
Thank you! I was worried that Sophra didn't have a lot to say, she just kinda looks pretty except at the end. I adore writing about teens -- they are (well, I was, too) such fishes out of water. Alien teens have gotta be that in spades.
Nope just something I dreamed up, it felt like something they would do. They love opera and Shakespear, and it seemed to me there was a way for them to pass the torch of wisdom with the passing of command. Something just for Captains. I came up with it while I was reviewing Twelfth Night for the story, I didn't want to use Chang quotes, or anything as done to death as Hamlet or Macbeth.
Love the picture you added, thank you Rob. D-7 is my favorite vessel in trek.
Author's Response: I love the D7 too...can't wait to see where Jespah takes us next!!
I really love the way this story is shaping up, great start Mick.
Knocking it out the park Jes, man I am loving this collaboration.
Bum bum BUMMMM!!! Romulans!!
Brutal and Machiavellian, I love it. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Round two is on like Donkey Kong.
I like where this is going, the situation is heating up on all fronts... except our crafty Romulan friends, where are they ?
Man this story is getting exciting!! Pow home run Rob. I can't wait to see what happens next. Love it, love it, love it.
