The Challenge Fics

Write a story filled with so much angst, pain, and inner turmoil that it makes Judy cry.

A conversational piece where the men discuss Hoshi.

Cave-in, claustrophobia, an admission of love.

The crew is in trouble and Hoshi is in charge.

Time travel fic where old Hoshi and young Hoshi meet.

Rewrite Shuttlepod One with Hoshi and one other crew member.

Why was Hoshi Archer's first choice as a communications officer despite the fact that she was second in her class?

Write an "aftermath" fic of Malcolm and Hoshi's miscommunication in "Silent Enemy".

Write a fic where Hoshi loses her ability to hear.

Ultimate challenge: Use ALL of the above situations together.


  Where on earth did you find her?

  No harm ever came from reading a book. (Tribute to The Mummy).

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I wear pants too!

Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!

Conversations that start like this can't be good.

Words can't describe how I feel right now.

Smile, it makes people suspicious.

Ultimate challenge: Use ALL of these phrases.

Why do you need a beta reader? Because you're not the only one that's going to read your fic! The difference between 'to' and 'too' might be just one letter, but it is often enough to jerk a reader out of the story.

Moreover beta reader provides another set of eyes for your story. He or she can point out the weakness (and strengths) of your fic before it goes into public viewing. Betas not only help you put your best story forward, but allows you to improve your writing skills and take your craft to another level.

Yahoo!Groups Beta Listings: Tons and tons of beta groups listed in Yahoo!Groups

If you're looking for a beta in a large group, tell them what kind of beta-ing you need. Everything from grammar, vocabulary, structure, flow to technobabble and general exposition/plot/denouement suggestions. If you're just looking for something specific, let them know.

If you're thinking about taking up an offer by someone who's willing to beta in general, if possible, read what they have written to see if it matches some of your expectations in regards to how it is/should be written.

Before taking the plunge, come to an agreement on the rating, shippage, and response time that is comfortable for the both of you.

Remember that's a real person behind the beta. They can have other immediate concerns and are suceptible to error as we all are. They are doing this for free, so be polite and credit them whenever possible.

What to do and what not to do...I'll leave you to figure out which!

Hoshi has to be an essential part of the fic. LD focuses on the character of Hoshi, so everything must be Hoshi related. All Hoshi fics and Hoshi fan art posted to the forums will be archived unless otherwise requested by the author.
If you would like to submit a story, please use these following guidelines to make it easier for me to organize and update the archive.

  If you want your fic to be cross referenced in the appropriate indices, please make sure the appropriate codes (A/S, R/S, Tu/S, T/S, P/S, M/S, O/S) and "challenge" notations are in your header.

On the LD forum: Once you are logged in, you have the permission to delete your posts. The first post in a thread that has replies are locked from being deleted, but the content can still be edited/removed. There is also an option to delete your forum account by going to your profile.

On the main site: Unfortunately, the site's archive is old school, hand coded HTML. I completely understand that authors want more autonomy and control over their fan fiction and I regret that the current archive isn't structured this way. Please contact me to request changes, removal, or direct linking back to your preferred archive. My contact information is directly on the site and I monitor all forum/LJ postings. I'll reply within one week, usually sooner. My Vulcan side wants me to add an exception: if something happens to me, the web host is prepaid with a deposit, and it will run out sooner or later if money isn't added.
