From our website:
ENTERPRISE S5 was originated by TrekUnited.com co-founder Thomas Moore and started as an outline for a fan fiction version of an Enterprise season 5. With the help of other TrekUnited members, Tom developed a 20 episode outline for this project. The original outlines accompany the videos at the original EnterpriseS5 Blog.
Some years later, seeing not much had been done with the project, Pauline Mac - at the time, a new member of TrekUnited - found herself with a desire to help bring this project to reality. Without any experience and never having made a video in her life, Pauline put together the original 5x01 For I Have Chosen the Path Unseen using Tom's outline as a guide. It combined existing screencap stills from Enterprise, a written "subtitle" narrative and a music track to accompany it. Hoping to learn and improve upon her first attempts, Pauline requested the assistance of other members.
It was at this time, Alyson Lee offered to assist Pauline with writing episodes in a more traditional sense, switching away from narration in favor of dialogue. It soon became clear the stories would be limited by the screencaps that were available. Alyson offered her graphics skills as well and now the possibilities are no longer as limited. With each new episode, Pauline and Alyson continue to improve their technique, be it graphics, special effects, sound effects, music editing, or storytelling.
But perhaps the most interesting bit of all, this colaboration happens across a span of more than 9500 miles/15288 km (Pauline on the East Coast of Australia/Alyson the East Coast of the United States). Despite never meeting - not to mention confusing time/day differences - they continually manage to work extremely well together to bring you episodes they hope you will really enjoy.
So, the purpose of this thread is to post the short stories where you can provide feedback, good, bad or indifferent, doesn't matter because it's all a learning experience for me.
Without further adiue, here is the first short story for episode one...
For I Have Chosen The Path Unseen
And here is the second short story for episode two - just released...
Talons In The Prey
I have started on the short story for episode three, but me thinks that will take a bit longer. Eventually I will be making huge changes to the first short story - I think I've come a long way since I first wrote it, so please be kind when reviewing!
Oh, you can also view the videos from our website!
Oh, and one other piece of news, and not many people are aware of this, but Manny Coto - which we all know who he is, is fully aware of this project, and has, in actual fact, got everything in his hot little hands. One can only hope that TPTB will also become aware of it and support our little endeavour! One never knows, but I'm not holding my breath! Plus, I was also told that the actors, and some of the effects people on the show, were also going to be approached about S5 - to what end, I'm not sure. But, since I haven't heard anything back about this yet, I'm not sure if it even happend or what the end result was, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
Anyways, thanks again to The Delphic Expanse for your support, and for teaching me so much about writing. Eventually I will write a really kick ass story.
Anyhoo, review away!!!
h. To sumn it all, the day before was one of the worst days of this year, all went wrong, all that could.
