I definitely suspect B&B were thinking of Lewis & Clark when they cooked up Enterprise - and that would make Archer a Merriweather Lewis figure (down to the beloved dog), who was a problematic person. I think it was definitely supposed to be problematic that Archer was chosen because of his...

For getting the sexy vibe going: "I Feel You" by Depeche Mode. If it's Mirror Universe, "Master and Servant" by same. There a few more, but that'll have to wait until I untangle my iPod from the bottom of the suitcase.

Music works for me a little differently. It doesn't help me to channel a character's voice and in fact, it tends to get in the way for me, especially if there are lyrics. My brain just stops working and I can't get other words out. (The TV and stereo have to be OFF for this reason when I'm engaged i...

Though I've usually lost whatever flow I had before, what I come up with instead is usually better. I wonder what this "flow" we all experience actually IS. Like could someone do an mmri with someone writing "in the flow" and then another one of someone writing who's gotten out ...

So, you're not in that same head space any more, and you can't find it again. As a writer, do you have a way of getting back there? Do you just try to pick up where you left off and if it takes you in a new direction, oh well? Do you abandon the project? I'm curious to know who else has faced this,...

Have had exactly the same problem lately, although life continues to interrupt cruelly. I've done as Alelou suggested as well as listening to the same songs I listened to when originally thinking of the chapter and it works until life's little moments comes around to pull me away again. But music s...

Well, I finished up 3 12 hour days in a row last night on the set of Transformers 3. The last shot of the last day was to be a stunt with about 80 extras in cars driving on one side of the expressway and some kind of big crash happening on the other side. Something went very wrong and an extra in h...

My whine: this looking for a job thing SUCKS!! :banghead: There has GOT to be a way to find something closer to home. This commute is eating my life, and with school about to start, I'm looking at it as 2 hours a day that I don't get to do homework...or read fics...or write... :( Okay I think I'm j...

I'm starting to ponder a serious question. What is needed to write a good TnT story? The (unfortunately) most-used element appears to be angst, which to my dismay seems to be a favorite among the women folks around here. In an ff-comment to a hideously angsty story I read this: "Angst is salt ...

Like te idea, EA , but, to play devil's advocate, considering all the trouble the Augments caused, I don't see gene manipulation as being a viable way of extending one's life in Star Trek. I'm not saying they used gene manipulation. But the situation that created the Augments likely resulted in all...

If Earth really has improved so much after the Vulcans made First Contact, and taking into account that surely there were some serious medical advances given the Eugenics and Augments stuff ... I agree with the average Human life-span moving into the 120's by the 2100's. As for Trip, I could see him...

SO....I worked on Ride Along yesterday! What a blast. I "played" a "professional" in a background shot outside a hospital. From what I was told I was in a shot with my partner, who was playing a doctor. So unless they cut us out I'll be in a scene. What fun. I hope I get called ...

Happy Birthday!

Then the Major probably would lie about understanding it. And the conversation that ensued between him and Tucker was even more ironic given what Malcolm was trying to read. :) FWiW, I've never read it or even attempted to. It just seemed appropriately 'mirror' for repeating that aspect of Shuttlep...
