    Both the original series and Next Generation adult coloring books are both lacking in creativity. Basically each one simply offers the colorer a chance to color in scenes from the episodes.

    If only my vision of Star Trek was made.

    For the hell of it, I ordered a Marvel superheroes coloring book online. Most pages turned out to be low-res grayscale bitmaps, squeezed onto the page in incorrect aspect ratios. Straight into the garbage.

    I like coloring. Now. It took me forever to develop a remotely acceptable level of talent at it.

    As I've said what I hate is that the coloring books are completely unoriginal. Just rehashes of scenes from the episodes. At least when the original series coloring books came out in the mid 1970s, the few I know of at least had original adventures. No they weren't complicated or even detailed. They were at a child's level to be sure.

    But at least they were SOMETHING NEW in the Star Trek franchise. How dam hard would it have been for a coloring book based around some kind of relatively simple and straightforward story set in the Original Series or Next Generation era?

    Enterprise D & crew visit planet hoping to join the Federation

    Planet and Enterprise are attacked by ships from a neighboring world.

    Enterprise defends the planet and convinces the other world to agree to a cease fire.

    Both planets celebrate the newly established peace and both decide to join the Federation.

    There. Simple. Action. Opportunities for good coloring. Barebones story promotes the values of peace and cooperation that Star Trek loves to hype.

    I get it now. You wanted a new short story that you could also color.

    I can see the appeal of both options. Existing scenes vs. new ones. I wouldn't mind a porn version.

    You might want to find out what a naked woman looks like before you start working on a porn version.

    You mean, your wife doesn't count?

    Although, I don't know if I'm game for coloring in penises so maybe I'll back off that wish.

    I don't know. Alien penises might be very interesting.

    Remember the Centauri on Babylon 5?

    Reproductive biology[edit]
    The sexual organs of the Centauri are quite different from those of humans, and they are in a different location than the human sex organs. Male Centauri have six tentacle-like genital organs that extend out from the sides of the body and "fold" in over the solar plexus when not in use. The males can stretch the tentacles out to four feet.[2]:9 These tentacles are somewhat prehensile, to the extent that they can be used to cheat in card games. Females have six narrow receptive orifices, three on either side of the base of the spine, just above the hips. During sexual intercourse the male inserts his tentacles in the female's orifices individually. Only a single insertion is necessary to inseminate, but "each [successive] one is a different level of intimacy and pleasure" – Centauri males grade their sexual encounters by the number of insertions in a manner similar to American baseball metaphors for sex.

    Have you tried STAR WARS colouring books?

    And if so, how do they compare to & with STAR TREK's?

    They're actually pretty interesting. Not really meant to tell much of a story just visually oriented.

    Worf's ridged cock gets stuck inside Deanna Troi's asshole. Data applies mechanical lubricant from his positronic brain but still no help. Hilarity ensues.

    You know it's good Trek porn when they remember Troi's junk is different from Beverly's, since she's half Betazoid. :async:
