A Brief Encounter: Part Five (the embarrassment of riches version)

Authors note: This chapter has been ready for a couple of days now.  Why make you wait further.  I’m writing at my fastest yet.  Like I said before, the “Prime” universe is easier to envision in my head.

Candace, you’re already a winner to me!

The lovely and talented, Candace, of Musings of a Daydreamer, has been nominated in two (count em’, two) story categories (for Pride & Logic and  Mail Order Bride) in Livejournal’s Spock/Uhura Awards.

I, of course, am extremely happy for her, but at the same time extremely jealous as I am not a Livejourneler and can not participate in all the fun.

The only question remains, will we see the Harry Winston Diamonds or the Lorraine Schwartz jewelry on the red carpet?

BTW:  The nominees for Best Multi-Chapter… Ooooo, that is a hard one.  All of our old friends are there: Conversational Vulcan is super terrific, but A Mutual Feeling is as well.  And my sweet Lord, Miscommunication is made of awesome.  Actually, I’m kind of glad I don’t get to pick.  That is one tough-ass category.  But if I had to pick… no, not even going there!

And furthermore…OMG!  The Best Series category…  The Opposite of Logic is up against Human Relationships: Mating Rituals AND Like the Stars, Like your Destiny.  There is NO WAY to pick a winner in that category!  NO WAY WHATSOEVER!!!  My heart inches just a millimeter closer to The Opposite of Logic as it was the first Spuhura story that I fell in love with, but the others are also right up there.  This will be sweet torture for the voters.

One good thing though, there are many stories listed that I have yet to discover.  Well, I know what I’m going to be doing for the next few weeks… writing will suffer.

A Brief Encounter: Part Four (the: I’m spoiling you rotten version)

Authors Note: TWO chapters in one night.  Nikki is right, I am spoiling her.  In case you missed it, I posted Part Three earlier this evening and it’s down below.  You just have to make it past the obstacle that is the Zachary Quinto photo.

Those ladies at Daily ZQ Photo keep corrupting me…

Not only did I NEVER once think to watch The Milk Video ^TM in Hi-Def, I NEVER once thought of watching it at full screen… before I read it at the site today.  What kind of Zachary Quinto stalker fan am I?  OK, in my defense, that video still kind of scares me, so that may have had something to do with it… or perhaps I was too distracted and hypnotized by the eyes… the same eyes that distract and hypnotize me here:

You had me at hello.

A Brief Encounter: Part Three

Author’s Note: I think I failed to make clear how these parts are ordered.  They take place between the Year Two Episode Amok Time and Mirror, Mirror.  In the first posting we come in right after Spock has fought Kirk “for the possession of the woman T’Pring”.  Followed next by the episode, Who Mourns Adonis, then on to The Changeling.

There  is much debate within Treklore as to the proper order of the shows.  They were not broadcast in any particular order as some episodes required more post-production work than others which led to delays.  I mean, back in the 60’s you couldn’t just Photoshop in Adonis’ green hand o’pure energy.

I have decided to go by CBS’s Trek schedule.  They do have one or two episodes missing or out of order, but in the long run I can live with it.  Same disclaimer from part one applies.

A Brief Encounter: Part deux

Author’s note: Well Nikki, 30 minutes ago you asked for more.  Your wish is my command.  Here’s a little snip-it just for you!

Wait a minute… could it be?

Hmmmm?

Potential?  This requires further study.

Yes, I see him now.  There he is.  I think I may have just found my Selkek!

A Brief Encounter

Because I have nothing better to do than to write subversive stories with more unhappy endings.  This is a TOS story that’s been floating around in my head for the last two days…

Author’s note: This is a very, very rough draft of a story that just popped into my head.  I have absolutely NO INTENTION of editing it or making it fit for fan fic consumption.  There will be misspelled words and hideous plotting errors, but I wanted to put it down on paper for I did think the premise rather interesting.  I got the idea after watching the TOS episode Amok Time (my absolute favorite of TOS)  I was wondering what mischief I can get up to between the Amok Time episode and the episode called, Mirror, Mirror.  It presented an interesting challenge.  This is the first of two (or perhaps three parts)  Don’t expect any regularity.  It’s very crappy… a few of you might enjoy it, most of you will not.

I have defected…

… but in a good way.

Candace (of Musings of a Daydreamer fame) has permitted a story of mine to take over a small portion of her blog.  I have written a vignette for her story, An Illogical Woman, hijacking her characters and bending them to my will.  The chapter titled The More Things Change was authored by yours truly.

And before anyone asks, yes, Full Circle was made to suffer this last week for that very reason.  But consider, readers of FTLOJ have been made angry by the existence of SPAT, so there’s enough story abandonment by me to go around for all.

OK, OK, I will work on Full Circle today and try to have it ready to go tomorrow (emphasis on the word “try”)  However, I must confess, I do feel a wave of food gorging induced laziness coming on.

BTW:  The story is password protected on my blog (for now).  Since it is truly Candace’s story, you should read it there first.

Just because his pretty face was in danger of dropping off at the bottom of this blog

There can never be enough of The Quinto around.
