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.

Gah, no, I can't do that to Captain Christopher Pike. And I'm pretty sure I really would get flamed.

AHAHHAHAHAH

True fax, man. I think I might have (finally) hit on the fic I want to write about Pike and Kirk, so I might give that a go.

eeeeeeeeeeeYAY!

And I saw what echoinautumn did! I have a date with her story for my lunch tomorrow.

I would read it... :P

Hers or mine? :b I think we ought to BULLY her, and promise to beat up flamers, and then see what happens :b

[syredronning.livejournal.com]

Both :P

because this Christopher Pike is a brave strong man but not, in some ways, a good one.

That's how I see him anyway - he has his moral failures... (which makes it fun).

I think it must be the sarcasm he shows with Chekov and Sulu on the bridge, and the strange decision of making Kirk first officer (he). He's not a nice guy all the times but with bite and the will to do a lot to get what he wants (he's a CAPTAIN, after all).

I think there's a difference between being good and being nice, maybe, and what Chris Pike is is a man who gets things DONE. Who does the right thing, ultimately, but probably not in the right way?

And he's a tough motherfucker.

...I in no way just posted my fic >.>
