Challenge Idea

[aadarshinah]

Thanks. That mean you down for #15?

[Distracted]

Sure. Why not?

[aadarshinah]

Then here's what we have so far for round three:

14: Kotik (?)
15: Distracted - confirmed
16: aadarshinah - confirmed
17: Enerdhil - confirmed, but willing to change places
18: Ginamr (?)
19: panyasan (?)

I'm begining to think I should have become like a PA or something, doing all these lists...

14: Kotik (?)
15: Distracted - confirmed
16: aadarshinah - confirmed
17: Enerdhil - confirmed, but willing to change places
18: Ginamr (?)
19: panyasan (?)

So you want me to write the final chapter? (I really like writing final chapters.)

[aadarshinah]

Sure, why not? Everyone think we can agree to wind down the fic and have it end at chapter #19? Ginamr is working on #12 at the moment, so we probably would be able to do it...

Thoughts?

[Enerdhil]

It appears we can do it. We only have to take care in 'closing' open arguments and not only 'opening' new ones. Otherwise the last chapter can be a mess. (It remembers me the Brazilian TV soap operas, that usually left all resolving issues to the last show: a list of marriages, babies born, reconciliations, ... practically only a list).

[aadarshinah]

Well, here's our list of things that need to be answered so far (and feel free to add):

1. What is responsible for bombing Weytahn?
2. Why was this done?
3. How are they going to "make it right"?
4. The answer to the question Enerdhil poses at the end of chapter #11.
5. Future of Enterprise?

[ginamr]

I'm working on chapter 12!! With any luck, it'll be in the editing phase Sunday.

Status Update 10.1.01 :

11.(Sine Ira aut Subito) Multi Delectus by Enerdhil, posted
12. Semitae Electae by Ginamr, beta'd and off to Distracted
13. tba by panyasan, who, I believe, was sent a copy of ^ by the author
14. tba by Kotik
15. tba by Distracted
16. tba by aadarshinah

oookay, we're almost done with the second cycle. Chapter 12 - Semitae Electae - should be gamma'd fairly quickly, I think, so it should be up soon. The title, btw, translates as Paths Chosen or Paths Taken, if you want to get slighly idiomatic. If you've any questions, comments, concerns, queries, consultations, et cetera... you know what to do.

Nice to hear about. It appears that the plot is becoming more dense as we approach the end of the second round. As for round three, I expect to have time to follow the current chapter assignment.

As there's been some question, Coridan is a canon planet. It's first appearance, timeline wise, is in "Shadows of P'Jem," and I believe they're also mentioned in the TOS episode "Journey to Babel." They appear also in "Demons", but never join the Coalition. According to The Good that Men Do, their planet was attacked in massive sucide bomber style by Romulans near the start of the war, and their population was decimated.

Anyway, they (according to the relaunch books and "Shadows of P'Jem") look farily human:



But (again according to the relaunch books) they wear cermonial masks when disccussing govermental business, resulting in their look in "Demons":

.

In grand traditon of all things round-robin, I again propose that canon, as far as SoA goes, is whatever the author at the time decides. If you (you being the first author to mention the Cordians' appearance) decide to make them look more like one version or the other, that is what we'll go with.

That being said, as I can't seem to find a consitant genitive for the species, I've decided (in grand traditon of all things beta) that Coridan is the planet and a member of the species is also Coridan, as Coridanian, Coridanyrr, and Coridanite all look too strange and vauge memories of the series tell me that Coridan sounds right. So keep that in mind.

Thank you, thank you, oh mistress of trivia!

[aadarshinah]

Nice to know my plethora of random knowledge has, for once, come in handy.

[Enerdhil]

:oops:

You (both) are welcome! As for Coridan, I mentioned it in the previous chapter! And I belive having once read (ST.com ?) that Coridan had been accepted to the Federation after Babel incidents (TOS). I'm not sure...

[aadarshinah]

Best I can tell, it became a Federation member fairly early, but wasn't a signer - at least not of whatever they signed in 2161 that Daniels (and *the_abomination*) showed us, which because the founding document of the Federation. Or, at least, it's version of the Articles of Confederation.
