Fic Challenge I

[twtd]

Announcing singularity's first monthly fic challenge!



Backstory Challenge

In the new movie we get to see vignettes from Kirk and Spock's childhoods and we get snippets of some of the other characters' backgrounds. McCoy has an ex-wife, Uhura is a brilliant student, Sulu spent a lot of time learning how to fence and Scotty has bad luck with dogs. For our first challenge, we're asking you to tell us about the things we didn't get to see. Write a fic about something that happened before the cadets got sent to Vulcan.

The Rules:

1. Have fun.

2. 500 word minimum (not that we're gonna count).

3. Deadline: June 15th (or thereabouts. Basically whenever the next challenge gets posted).

4. Stick Challenge 1 or Backstory challenge somewhere in your header.

5. Have fun!!!

The Rewards:

Umm... All of those lovely comments that you're going to get?


Of course, this doesn't mean that you can't post your other fics too. More fic is a happy, happy thing!

How to Win Friends and Influence Vulcans

[green]

Title: How to Win Friends and Influence Vulcans
Author: Green
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Pairing: Kirk/Spock (friendship)
Rating: G
Summary: Having a best friend who didn't know he was your best friend was frustrating. That did not, however, deter Kirk.
Notes: Beta'd by fox1013

fic: Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known (k/s)

[waketosleep]

Title: Strange Fits of Passion Have I Known
Author: waketosleep
Pairing: Kirk/Spock
Rating: I can't tell if this should be PG-13 or light R; there is the suggestion of sex but nothing explicit. So there.
Notes: Kisses to Wordsworth for the title. The silly trope fics are not appearing fast enough for my taste, so I took it upon myself to write one. So, without further ado, Aliens Made Them Do It (Or Did They?)!
Summary: Kirk nearly turns a simple trade mission into a diplomatic incident. Luckily, Spock will do a lot to cover his captain's ass.

Fic, Star Trek: Two Sides (teen, Uhura)

[circadienne]

Title: Two Sides
Author: Circadienne
Rating: PG-13, I suppose, or perhaps R. People have sex, but not very explicitly.
Characters: Two Uhuras, two Spocks, a couple of Kirks, and a starship in a pear tree.
Summary: Across two universes, things change. And things don't change at all. About 4,000 words, with the usual expressions of gratitude to cofax7.

(Right this way....)

Fic: Agreement. Uhura/Spock/Kirk. R.

[stewardess]

Title: Agreement
Author: Stewardess
Fandom: Star Trek (film XI)
Pairing: Uhura/Spock/Kirk
Rating: R
Summary: Kirk is not entirely a self-serving bastard. OT3 ahoy! First-time fic. Word count 4,300.
Archive: No.

( Kirk had already had more than one lecture about hitting on ambassadors. )

Crossover: ST/Doctor Who: My Own Beginning

[stellar_dust]

Title: My Own Beginning; or, The Doctor Gets A(nother) Reboot
Author: stellar_dust
Fandom: Doctor Who/Star Trek
Rating: PG
Words: ~5000
Characters: Ten, Eight, the Guardian of Forever, and lots of surprise guest stars from both series.
Summary: The Tenth Doctor finds out about the Guardian of Forever. Surely this will not end well.
Warnings: SPOILERS for the new Star Trek movie. All of Doctor Who is also fair game.
