Labor Day Meme: Stories That Never Were

[browngirl]

From petronelle, who filled this in glorious manner. Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Feel free to try any fandom you have reason to think I know, but if I don't at all know the fandom I'll have to say so.

Your story, "429," made me laugh so hard I think the neighbors heard me. I love the idea of reboot Kirk doing his level best to sleep with every one of the 430 people aboard the ship because it will help him "get to know them" and I love it even more that we find out about his increasingly unsuccessful attempts to seduce the kid from Logistics through a conversation between McCoy and the bridge crew.

I am trying so hard not to wake the baby, omg

The first sentence: Jim is brilliant, and soaking wet.
The last sentence: "Winslow? Still a virgin."
The thing that made me want to write it: Like Jim, the idea came to me in the shower.
The biggest problem I had while writing it/Why it almost never got posted: I had trouble thinking of how to convey the montage scenes. Not to mention the inevietable monogamy issues.
The scene that hit the cutting room floor: I almost let Jim get Ensign Winslow, but the story really wouldn't've been nearly as funny if I had.
Something else that I want readers to know: How did you know my estimate for the Enterprise's crew complement is 400-450?

*grin*

Let the baby sleep and wake up the plotbunny instead! If anyone could write this one, it would be you.

And I think four hundred and thirty crew was canon for TOS, although it's been years since I knew that cold.
