Seems like a comedy from the narrator's words in the opening, ahha. But I figure that might be what you're getting at, if you're in the fic as well.

Okay. Let's see. I got some chapters of Exquisite Corpse coming out soon (maybe Tuesday?), so...

The Exquisite Corpse Novel Season Finale [Star Trek Writer AU]
The following preview has been approved for all audiences.

This music begins playing as we open out onto a shot of Boston
KIRK: (V.O.) Have you ever heard of the Exquisite Corpse?
(insert shot: six writers and an editor gathered around a coffee table. KIRK is one of them; he has just pitched that idea and gotten a couple headshakes.)
MCCOY: It's a game of Consequences. You write part of a story and have someone else continue what you've started without looking at your section.
SPOCK: The readability of such a novel would be low.
KIRK: Ever heard of fun, Spock?
(insert shot of the writing group, with the caption "Six writers. One novel.")
(shot of SCOTTY writing in a mechanic's shop.)
SCOTTY: This novel's set in the 23rd Century, after faster-than-light space travel has become possible. It focuses on the story of Peter Taggart and how he becomes the captain of the USS Enterprise.
(shot of NYOTA taking pages from SCOTTY, laughing)
NYOTA: You based Taggart off Kirk, didn't you?
SCOTTY: As you based the Vulcans off Spock, I suppose.
NYOTA: That Vulcan Lazarus and his relationship with Taggart is going to be fun to write, I can tell.
(shot of KIRK looking up from his tablet at SPOCK)
NYOTA: Maybe you should talk to him.
KIRK: Are you trying to set us up?
NYOTA: Do you really think I'd set my sensitive best friend up with someone like you?
(jump shots of KIRK getting up, walking over to SPOCK)
KIRK: (V.O.) I've never felt this way about someone before.
(brief shot of KIRK and SPOCK kissing)
(shot of SPOCK storming out of the New Year's Party)
SPOCK: You are a mistake I do not intend to repeat.
(shot of OLD SPOCK talking to SPOCK)
OLD SPOCK: Don't make my mistakes, and you'll be fine.
(shot of KIRK kissing SPOCK's hand in a restaurant)
(shot of the scene being photographed)
(shot of CHEKOV finding it on the internet)
CHEKOV: Why are there pictures of you and Jim on this Tumblr?
NYOTA: They're circulating rumours about Spock, too.
SPOCK: I do not know why they are intruding on my privacy.
(shot of CHEKOV handing MCCOY several pages)
CHEKOV: The novel is being finished at last.
MCCOY: God help us all.
(shot of the group seated around another table, stacks of the manuscript in front of them.)
(shot of KIRK storming out into the rain)
(shot of EDITH KEELER, smiling at either KIRK or MCCOY)
(shot of SPOCK angrily scrawling on a whiteboard)
(increasingly rapid shots of: the group talking, the group writing, SPOCK and MCCOY instant-messaging, SPOCK and KIRK standing across from each other in the kitchen.)
SPOCK: You emotionally compromise me like no other.
(Cut to black. Title fills the screen.)
