    Main Website

    There's a really long intro on the main website, but if you want a short version:
    So far we've released a four-hour miniseries, and thirteen episodes. We've kind of stalled out in the meantime, unfortunately, but hopefully I'll get back at it in the near future.

    There are HTML versions available on the website, but if you prefer PDF files, links are available in the episode listing below:

    So the basic characters are the same?

    More or less. I made a few tweaks here and there if I thought something was stupid (so don't expect T'Pol to become a drug addict), but for the most part I went with the same concepts.

    Holy shit.

    This is the worst piece of fan fic shit I've seen.

    They take a shitty premise and throw it to writers who defy the laws of probability by being even worse than the mouth breathers who came up with Enterprise.

    I mean -- I've absolutely never seen anything this pathetic. Starving Ethiopians are less pathetic than this.

    Christ, no wonder ordinary Trekkies can't be taken seriously with the kind of bedwetting goobers who waste time on dead ends like this.

    I need a shower.

    Holy shit that's awful.

    :lol: Coming from you, this means nothing. Everyone who's actually read it has liked it. Thanks for bumping my thread though. ;)

    Constructive criticism is welcome in The Workshop, including harsh criticism, but flat out flaming is not.

    Would it be constructive to say the whole of that toxic mess should be deleted from history and memory?

    :bash: Captain X, I clicked DISAGREE on Storm's reply several posts up & then it displayed as phucking AGREE:bang:

    Wtf WF?

    I like Storm's avatar & it makes me speculate if he writes, or has written, DALLAS aficionadofic?

    I disagree with Storm re: Star Trek: Foundations.

    The problem is you have negative reputation. Thus you cannot give negative rep. I've taken the ability away from you.

    Now all the rep you give counts neither as positive nor negative.

    Essentially you are neutral.

    I don't write Dallas fan fiction.

    All fan fiction sucks.

    Well, I've basically settled on the overall design of the United Earth Military's service dress; my main area of difficulty is in picking a color scheme. I've made 3 different versions which I've posted below and I'd like your help picking a color scheme. If you have another idea for a color scheme or you think one of the three versions would be better some slight changes to it, please describe what you think.

    Just curious. As there have been no new episodes in closing in on 4 years, isn't uniform design kind of pointless? :shrug:

    Ok. Are you going to write new eps or is it dead?

    Not that it should really matter being as I asked for help picking out a color scheme, but yes, I was planning on getting back to working on this. I wouldn't bother with new artwork otherwise.

    Did you do the artwork yourself? Very cool!

    BTW, the back-and-forth between Captain J and Captain X is getting confusing...
