Will Anyone Read It?

Cymro · 02-23-2004, 07:36 PM

OK, I've had this idea for a Star Trek story in my mind for a few years now, and recently after re-watching some of the later DS9 episodes, and Nemesis, it's been weighing on my mind to write it down, because I've had some (what i consider to be) good ideas for using some existing secondary characters to sort of make it fit in nicely, and allow the reader that comfortable sense of familiarity.

I don't want to give away any hints or anything, but it's based on a very special kind of starship, which I think I may have some blueprints of around here somewhere (I wasn't always this lazy). Anyway, if I make the effort to write this shit down, is it gonna be ignored, or are peole going to read it, and add comments?

I will gladly read and comment on your writings. I'll even be critical.

I'd read it.

I can't guarantee that I'd read it right away, but I'd read it. And offer commentary.

Wait, wait, wait...I just thought of something...Are you going to use big words? Because if you are, I may have problems.

Yea, but that won't matter much since I'm writing it in Welsh.

Not Klingon???

No, my PC doesn't support the Klingon Alphabet, so I'm having to write it in Western Characters, and written Welsh is basically Klingon mangled into the Western alphabet, sort of like writing a Chinese name with an English spelling.
