I'm writing in the big bang 2010
I must be seriously crazy! For whatever insane reason, I'm pulling my "fiction" muse from the closet again and I'll submit a 20,000 word piece for the Star Trek Big Bang 2010. Last year's experience was more successful than I could have imagined because I met some great women during the posting/discussion process.
My most glaring failure was not writing the piece the way I intended the FIRST time. It took quite a few rewrites to make it acceptable to me and the darn thing still needs to be edited. This year, I've begun early (as opposed to waiting two months) and I have an official beta, plus my dear friends (if the God of Time frees them), so I'm pretty excited.
This year's exercise will focus on Nyota Uhura as a fully realized female character, plus put humanity to the test. Will Spock be there? Hell yeah! Since this is the only the third couple I've ever officially SHIPPED, I'll be damned if I'll forget about that element. There might not be any overt sex though. ;D If I fail to write sex, this might actually turn out to be a minor miracle.
More info forthcoming.
