A new story, and a small beg...

[elfs]

As promised, Journal Entry 136 / 3262: Honest Questions is up and ready to be read. The codes are the same as the last story: F/F with a well-equipped android making her appearance. This is one of the first "Star Trek riff" stories in that I introduce a character from a patently Trek-like (or Eganesque, I supose) scenario, namely the Elvangoreans.

In two weeks, expect Fragile Dream, which will have a more traditional M/F, all-humans all-the-time theme.

And a small beg: the bill for keeping up the Journals website came due for the year, and I'm $90 short. If you've enjoyed reading the stories and they're worth anything to you, consider dropping a buck or two into the tipjar, okay? Please? I promise I won't PBS you with daily exhortations to "Donate Now!"

Unwritten Stories

[(Anonymous)]

I first came across the Journal Entries long ago (by Internet Time standards), shortly after when I came to grad school in late '89. I've been captivated ever since.

There's one story I'd really like to see... first contact between Pendor and Earth. "Embassy Tales: Terran Sands" is the earliest story we see concerning Pendor/Earth relations.

I've also wondered about what came immediately before "Goodbye, Donna" (the events that lead up to it), and how Ken endeded up being blinded some time before "Goodbye, Kris."

Lots more stories to be told... and I hope you'll be telling them for a very, very long time.

Erm, the whole landing event has already been told, sorta, in Journal Entry 209 / 1028: Movie Night (http://www.drizzle.com/~elf/journals/1028_209_000_Movie_Night.html).

I liked that it showed how unhappy Shardik was at how some hacks had tarted up "actual history" with inaccurate eye-candy. Nothing was said at all about the requisite sex scenes. (*^_^*)

Huh... how the Hades did I miss this Journal Entry the last time I read them all? Oh well... guess I'd better read them all again, in case I missed another one. :)

Tails' commentary was a riot. "We want your women!" and "It's only a movie," had me laughing out loud.

Sigh... I want a T-Shirt that says "I'd rather be on Pendor", with the text sitting above the eight-stars-and-ring emblem. I'd pay money for that.

Hmmm.... Pendorian merchandise?

Speaking of which, why "Pendorian" rather than "Pendoran" ?

T-shirts

Ditto on wanting a shirt, though I'd go with a more subtle reference. Life Under Tension (http://www.drizzle.com/~elf/journals/0916_187_000_Travellogue,_Day_5.html) for example ;).

Seems like spreadshirt vector printing would be perfect for both of these (though the tension diagram might have to have undesireably large variable labels to get it past the feature size constraints.

Well, Late '89 would have been about the right time. That was when the very first one came out. The "First Contact" story is in "Movie Night," which is full of Our Heroes riffing on a NBC Movie Of The Week-quality video of the first contact.
