I read the about the topic last night, and wow, did it ever open up a world of possiblities. This should prove to be a really good challenger for all our writers.

[Salak]

I got an idea or two, but they may have been influenced more than a little bit by the amounts of Jonathan Creek and DS9 I've watched lately...

I'm not committing to posting an entry as I don't want everyone to get hopes up (self included) then dashed again as RL steals me away before the deadline.

mmm Hospitality.,;- A hospitable planets - "Hospitality" ok I really don't want to say this, but when you had the archetypal topic I was all over that and the path thing last time was great as well but maybe I just live on such a inhospitable planet that .,; well there is nothing hospitable here, with the exception of the hospitality that I feel here...at sb118... but this seems so "alien" a topic to me I will have to wait to see what gets posted first and then do a possible writing challenge reply like story to them, in a way...but I need some kind of comment following this that somehow lets me know if this is alright or not???

[Jophry]

Very broad topic. I think I'll finally debut, seeing how I wrote two pages from scratch yesterday.

[Sinda Essen]

huzzah!

[Jophry]

I've finished mine. Now just a few rereads and spellchecks. I think it's a strange piece. The hospitality thing lies on the backburner. Deals more with dissimilarities, anger, rejection, madness and fear.

[Estantia]

I have a piece of my own I've finished, I will be re-reading and checking to send in before going back to revision though

[Valis of Vulcan]

I have ssomething nearly finished, but it's far from my best work. It's what first came to mind when the topic was posted, but I think what I'm learning is that I'm not meant to write for Ferengi...

[Valis of Vulcan]

Well, it's still far from my best bit of writing, but it's done. Not sure it's really worthy of the competition, but maybe it'll give you all a moment's enjoyment...

I think I'll write one in here too... just a matter of getting the time to get it down on paper... or computer... you know.

[Sinda Essen]

Computer would be preferable.

[Piqui]

I wrote this neat beginning of a story (in my handwritten journal) about the hospitalities found in an endless space/time scenarios of just like floating in outer space and living inside a spacesuit ... this led to the name creation of the character then family then a whole new scenario evolved before my eyes as I typed what I had not just written in the journal ... happy happy - joy joy. I was having a real block with the subject but everything seems to of fallen into place... I think I worry too much about content...

[Idril Mar]

Ok, short, but to the point. A slightly odd take on the topic, but appropriate I think as well.

[Valis of Vulcan]

Is the contest still open? I thought the deadline was the 22nd. Quick, Salak! Finish your story before it closes!

[Salak]

Like I said; "I'm not committing to posting an entry". My focus at the moment with regards to the group is probably my sim rate.

Besides, all I've got for this subject are a couple of vague bullet points and I'm not sure it would make a good story. Not this time.

I'll surprise you some day though

[Valis of Vulcan]

I hope you do...

[Idril Mar]

Ok, is anyone else antsy to hear how they did?

[Valis of Vulcan]

Nah. I'm pretty sure I didn't place; no one likes Feregi in a Defiant-class...

Naw, it's too early to get antsy. I usually don't get antsy until mid month if they haven't come to a decision and then it's because I am anxious to start on the next challenge. Besides, it's not so much a win I seek, more I enter as a show of support for the Bi-Monthly Challenges and for the sheer joy of writing and the pleasure it gives me. It's the same way with the other writing opportunities that are given us here on SB118. Entries spawn more entries, and the more we have the better the competition.
