treknovelfest | Recent Entries

I said I was going to do it if people were interested, and I've finally gotten around to it. :-) I've created a community for fan works based on the authorized but non-canon works of Star Trek (eg, Pocket Books novels, but also works based on comics or video games would be acceptable.)

It's <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/trek_bookverse/>the Star Trek Bookverse</a>, and it awaits your fic. I hope that many of the people who wrote fic for this fest will come join us and post their fics!

Remember my Trek Novel Fest fic Species Diversity and You? Now it has been interpreted into a short fanfilm directed by ink_n_imp, starring real live fan actors! I am very happy.

It has just been unveiled, and I'm proud to be able to link it here!

( Title, rating, warnings, spoilers and summary as if it were a fic )

Species Diversity and You: A Sexual Safety Presentation.

By Antonella Inserra and A. Bertram Wilberforce

From the story by Grey Bard

Also available on livejournal here.

Run time approximately 7 minutes.

novel: how much for just the planet?

This is a great fest. But like all fests, it's prompt-based, so if you miss an opportunity to get a prompt in when they're being taken, you can't write and post that story. I'd like to create a community for posting any fiction based on the Trek books -- either featuring characters from specific books, or situations that occurred in the books, or based on book continuity (particularly for the Relaunch titles in TNG/DS9/VOY -- my understanding is that something particularly egregious has led numerous people to write "fix-fic" for it.) Would folks here be interested in that?

Title: A Sea Of Summer Air
Author: wendelah1
Rating: PG-13, for language
Characters: Star Trek XI: Kirk, McCoy, Chapel, implied Spock/Uhura
Summary: "Captain, this is a classic example of the short-comings of the universal translator, which is why I have been recommending that a skilled linguist be assigned to all away missions involving first contact situations."

This was written for prompt #27, the text of which contains a spoiler for the story, so I've chosen to place it at the end.

novel: the entropy effect

For prompt #100: The Dinner - Basically, "what happened next?" after Chris rather adorably clumsily ordered Number One to have dinner with him in his quarters? And how did Cait Barry and Phil Boyce react to the news? Was it awkward and disasterous, or sweetly romantic? What did Number One think, when she found out about Janeese? Is she worried she's the rebound girl? Is Chris concerned he'll torpedo his working relationship with his XO if he crosses that line? How do they communicate (or not communicate, as the case may be)?

*( The past was a stone in my shoe )

My apologies for posting so late. Many thanks to

ellen_fremedon and

nestra for sponsoring this challenge. Rihannsu information from the Rihannsu dictionary; all errors are my own.

Oh, right, I was supposed to close posting, wasn't I?

The official posting period is closed!

Anyone is welcome to take a run at any of the prompts now. I expect stories will be trickling in for a while, so keep watching this comm.

Betaed by:

Summary: Though much is taken, some things remain.
Prompt:

treknovelfest 57--The Pandora Principle, Spock Prime & Saavik. Spock!Prime goes to rescue everyone a decade or so early.
Note: Pthak’sahaisau means “cast out fear” (thank you, Vulcan Language Dictionary) and refers to Surak’s writings: “Here is the first part of the secret: Cast out fear. There is no room for anything else until you cast out fear.” (Spock’s World, p. 312)

( Spock surveyed the cavern, the largest chamber on Thieurrull, which in Standard was Hellguard. )

Offically, of course, today is the last day of the posting period. I know many writers, me included, have been delayed by real life, injuries, con plague (*cough, hack*), and other issues. That's totally fine.

Late tonight or tomorrow morning, I'll post a message officially closing the posting period and throwing all prompts open to anyone who's interested in writing them. We still definitely want to see your stories when they're finished -- post anything and everything here so we can all enjoy it.

Title: On Alien Seas, and Shores
Rating: PG
Warnings: None needed
Spoilers: For The Vulcan Academy Murders (TOS novel #22)
Summary: T'Mir of Vulcan sails from Italy to Ireland.
Word count: 12,155
Notes: My interpretation of Vulcans is based more on Diane Duane's novels than on Jean Lorrah's; I hope I managed to do both of them justice. Some aspects of this story draw on my experiences and on stories told to me while in Ireland in 2006, but all political opinions are my own. Also, I hope you like it.

On Alien Seas, and Shores.

The plan was to do a series of these. That's, erm, still the plan. When I have time. But for now...

Story posting is open, and I am excited!

You may post the story to the community or post a link to the story hosted on your journal or website. If your story is long enough to require multiple entries, please post a link in the community instead of posting multiple entries to the community.

Please tag your story in the format novel: title. For example, novel: Uhura's Song or novel: The Pandora Principle. If your story is a crossover or encompasses multiple books, use a separate tag for each one, and separate your tags with commas.

Given the small size of the fest, I don't really think any other tags are necessary, but speak up if you think I'm wrong.

Just a reminder, the posting period begins soon!

You can start posting on Monday, August 10th, and posting runs through the 24th. This does not mean that we will stand over you with a stick and make you stop writing at 11:59PM on the 9th. Feel free to post at any time from the 10th-24th.

After that, we will still welcome stories. The prompts list will be thrown open to everyone, and hopefully we will get even more stories!

***

On another note, what do people think about tagging? I'm inclined to suggest that authors tag their stories with the name of the novel or novels they're writing about. Suggestions?

Prompt claiming is closed! Later today, I'll make sure that the prompt post lists who claimed what. Give me a yell if there are any corrections.

As a reminder, the writing period runs from now until August 9, and then posting runs from August 10-24.
