A Star Trek comedy, you say?

New fics out soon! by ratbrainbasher on 2015-07-10 01:46:00 UTC Reply

Which is to say, I might be needing beta services soon. But, let's worry about that when the time comes.

I've been writing a few short Trek fics surrounding the most dysfunctional crew of all time, who ride around in a powerful prototype warship that malfunctions more often than most PPC equipment. It's definitely a comedy, as I felt Trek was getting a little dark. The fics are also a good way for me to try out a new episodic format. I'm used to writing large epics, so if anyone has any tips for me on how to write episodically, I'll gladly take them! By the way, this is why I haven't been terribly active lately. Well, this and the fact that my internet connection has been finicky due to all the thunder storms.

Well, I'll be looking forward to that. :) Which era does it take place in? Do they interact with the Enterprise at all?

It takes place during Voyager, at first. by ratbrainbasher on 2015-07-10 20:10:00 UTC Reply

"At First" meaning that these guys won't pass up many opportunities to get home, due to barely being Starfleet officers. But, assuming they get home before reaching the Bajoran Wormhole, yes, there is a fairly high chance they'll interact with the Enterprise. The comedy style is actually very similar to the PPC, in the sense of malfunctioning equipment, insane crew, possibly-sentient computer that runs windows 9000.

But, I can assure you, the computer is even crazier than HAL. So, Daisy Bell does have a good chance of appearing. Even worse though, is the fact that Windows 9000 brought back the most despised "feature" of all time... Clippy.
