Sounds like an adventure that has ended well ... welcome back. (Though I wasn't here for your first era, I think.)

:wave: Believe it or not, I was just contemplating starting a thread to ask if anyone had heard from you lately. Took something of a break from this place myself for a while, but made my way back again. Not terribly active, though. :?

CoffeeCat, glad to see you back. :clap: And I would love to see a new story from you! :thumbsup: It really hasn't been four years has it? But you seem to have packed a lot of living and changes into those years. You definitely have a lot of experience to draw upon for your writing.

I'm happy to see all of you! I keep telling Ellie I'm gonna write something, and then I go and play diablo 3 :doubt:

She's gotten me into a new series called Supernatural that I'm totally obsessed with, but it hasn't changed that I want to finish a few loose ends around here. I find that new fandoms actually get me thinking about new ways to write TnT/Enterprise stories, new subjects, new areas to explore...

We almost got to visit Telluride! I really really REALLY wanted to go but we ran out of time! We took a road trip to up to Durango and had an amazing time :trip: :tpol:

Hi Linda. Hi Elessar. Good to be back. I'll probably be more active here once I go through the Enterprise series again.

Linda, I have been working on fan fiction, just not in the Enterprise fandom. It's some Voyager stuff that involves an idea that I borrowed (with permission) from an Enterprise fan fic writer. Some people here might find it interesting. It involves Vulcan sexual politics, so you can see, Enterprise fan fic does inspire me a lot when I write. (I just can't wait to get to the sequel cause I found a way to get the Grand Nagus from DS9 involved :))

CoffeeCat, that sounds intriguing, taking ideas from several Star Trek series. I have only been posting fan fiction sporadically, when an idea really takes hold. And I have drifted off to write for one other series (don't laugh) but it is The Adventures of Sir Lancelot from 1956. And yes, I saw it in the 1950's, kinda imprinted on it as an eight-year-old. So I wrote six stories for it on Fanfiction.net under nom de plume of "Bineshii" and probably that has run its course with me. I did do one Adventures of Sir Lancelot/Star Trek:Enterprise cross-over story. Strange, but the concept seemed to work for a very small group of readers.

Did you ever do anything with your idea of a romance between Piper and Sarda from Diane Carey's books?

I'm not sure I've ever seen the Adventures of Sir Lancelot, but it sounds interesting. From what I understand, traditionally, Lancelot stems from the Ares character archetype. I wish I knew the series so I could pop in and read it :) I'm going to look it up, so give me some time.

And yeah, I discovered that crossovers generally have a tendency to reach only a small audience, unfortunately. It's too bad, since every now and then there is someone who can actually pull off writing a good, entertaining crossover story. It doesn't matter anyway, as long as you're having fun writing what you're writing. I tend to write to just amuse myself.

Anyhow...

OMG. I forgot about that. I would love to write that Piper/Sarda story... Sigh... so much fanfic to write, so little time. I need to read those books again so I can come up with a plot that fits the needs of the characters.

I have a whole list of stories I want to write already and it seems that every time I write a new chapter, a new idea pops into my brain. It's like when I'm watching an episode of something and then I wonder how it would work if the idea were translated into a different series with different characters.

The Purge was the result of combining ideas from all over the place and it turned out to be a very unique Pon Farr story where the hero actually volunteers to go through it (and pisses off his wife in the process).

The sequel is.... Well, let's put it this way: wherever there is prostitution, there are pimps; wherever there are rich Pon Farring Vulcans, indecent proposals are made; and wherever there is an untapped market, the Grand Nagus shows up...

Hey Elessar,
Hope you waved at my many relatives in Durango. My mom (RIP) graduated Durango High class of 1924.

Linda, I just downloaded Dreadnought onto my kindle. You might get your fic by next year. I'm sure I can pull it off. I'm already on the 3rd page and the evil*plot*bunny is already whispering things about Piper to me. So far, I can tell she falls into the Athena archetype, just like Captain Janeway.
