To The Fanfic Writers

As I'm not that great at coming up with fanfics on my own, I intend to start a competition for who can write the best short story based on a given title. On Friday at Noon EST I intend to post a title/topic that will be read on Monday at Noon EST to start a vote on who's story is the best (If I can't do it Friday I will Saturday). I already have the first title picked so suggestions aren't needed. Anyone who wants to join in please let me know. If nobody replies to this by Friday then I will just drop it.

For what we are about to receive may we all be truly thankful. - Ancient Navy Saying

Now you've done it Space! Can you imagine what Taw's story would be like? Death, Destruction, Depravity, Communism, and an all-powerful "Socialist" Autocrat with "Taw" in his name torturing a pacifistic character called "Esq"?!? .

now now, don't get all excited, you'll make a mess. how do you know it will be TLR characters? hopefully it won't necessarily be sci-fi based (tbh I find the sci-fi genre a bit limiting these days, it's very formalist after all, not really allowing for freeform plays on words and ideas)

a set title and restricted to a specific length would be good, and encourages tighter writing that doesn't meander.

a sci-fi story doesn't need to be restricted to sci-fi. Just make a detective on mars or something, there's you r sci-fi with possibly a decent storyline
I could write a nice "free" story about someone in the FL universe, it's just a matter of prioritizing: What do you want to focus on, te techy stuff? then it'll be a Star Trek kinda story and cliché/limited. but if you focus more on the characters, leaving teh techy stuff a bit behind it could become a nice novel-ish kinda story. In teh end, you decide
