Name your favorite scene and why!

[Kotik]

But I'm quite ready to read your versions of this...

I submitted the first (of now alreday 5) parts of 'my version' 3 days ago. Hope it gets through the submission process. Linda has done a great job of beta-reading and editing my substandard english grammar. German and Eglish sorta clash heavily, when it comes to writing

Kotik, believing they had sex doesn't make one automatically "non romantic", you know But if you consider that "having sexual relations" and "mating" are blurry concepts I must tell you that you have a promising career as a lawyer

Prosecutor: And he threatened to kill him.
Defense lawyer: Excuse me, he didn't. What he said was that he would stab him. More concretely, that he would "pierce his rotten heart with a sword." We can't automatically assume that means he wanted him dead.

And Trip maybe be a gentleman, but he was "more than friendly" with some alien women. Besides, at that point, at the eyes of other men he would turn from "gentleman" to "idiot." I can see the scene:

TRIP: So she stripped down.
ARCHER: And?
TRIP: And nothing.
Cold silence.
ARCHER: (stunned) Really?
MALCOLM: Are you telling us she got naked and you didn't take the opportunity?
TRAVIS: What did you do then?
TRIP: I told her we needed time to meditate this step and I went to my cabin.
MALCOLM: Alone?
TRIP: Yep.
PHLOX: Commander...
TRIP: Yes?
PHLOX: Are you idiot?
The rest of men nod.
TRIP: What? No! I was being a gentleman!
ARCHER: That's very commendable, but I think you went too far this time.
TRIP: I was trying to respect her feelings! I wasn't sure if she was sure.
MALCOLM: She stripped down, for God's shake! What do you need, a neon sign?
TRIP: But what about what she feels?
MALCOLM: Naked bum, man!
TRIP: But I think that in the deepest she didn't want it.
MALCOLM: (desperate) Completely naked!
ARCHER: OK, Trip, you're not an idiot.
TRIP: Thank you.
ARCHER: You're obviously gay.

I'm afraid to say this will be the reaction among the guys. Sorry, one of my "ironic days" again, don't take any of what I say too seriously. By the way, welcome back, WarpGirl

Well I don't deny that they had sex. You can't get around that in canon (god awful word) but I don't think it makes sense. Now I just hop nobody gets all mad at me again.

Don' worry. After all that's the reason of fanfic, we make up our own universe.

Alelou (Double Post) if the baby is six months old and is Tnt by the old fashioned method then they would have to conceive 15 months earlier. Nine months pregnacy you know. Cannot believe that t-Pol could hide that sucessfuly on enterprise especiallly from trip.

[WarpGirl]

Oh heck English and English clash when it comes to grammar. Writing it and speaking it are two different things, And that makes writing dialoug a pain in the behind. Don't worry you'll do fine I can't wait. Oh but you just wait I shoot my mouth off, people get mad, I go hide and cry. Especially about Harbinger.

Escriba I didn't say sex was unromantic I said they way they handled it was awful. But I MISSED YOU! Humanity is prone to idiocy men usually have an extra dose.

As I said, everyone has his own views. Mine is sickeningly romantic and may strike most people as idiotic, but it makes me feel content The whole will-they-wont-they stuff of season four just got me. I mean pretended they shagged the daylights out of each other - next day she's poopin' all over him again - nope! doesn't compute in my world

[WarpGirl]

I know it's like they're BOTH angst ridden teens in need of Clearisil and in T'Pol's case extra strength Midol. I couldn't get over the immaturity on BOTH sides. That's why my favorite scenes are usually work related.

*cough* me male *cough*

[Alelou]

Silverbullet, you sure do think out the detailed mechanics of this stuff.

I'm going to assume that in a scifi world, there might be things that could be done with an inconvenient embryo when one goes home to one's planet and -- oops! -- is suddenly forced to marry another guy (or that Trip might at least theorize that there could be).

And Escriba, you're a hoot.

And WG and Kotik -- you can go wherever you want with this. That's the joy of fanfic. You might just have to deal with people insisting you have gone AU.

[WarpGirl]

Notice I said men USUALLY have an extra dose. Usually doesn't mean all men all the time. Sorry if I offended. Honestly TnT aside the whole series needs some AU fixes in my opinion.

[Escriba]

Well, yes Kotik, I understand you (ah, fanfiction, such a great thing to show your ideas, isn't it?), but I want to repeat that thinking they had "intercourse" (weird word, by the way) doesn't turn one into a "cynical non romantic" (which I am, but I wasn't talking about me )

Escriba I didn't say sex was unromantic I said they way they handled it was awful. But I MISSED YOU! Humanity is prone to idiocy men usually have an extra dose.

Kotik, you've made me regain my faith in men.

[Kotik]

And WG and Kotik -- you can go wherever you want with this. That's the joy of fanfic. You might just have to deal with people insisting you have gone AU.

That's usually where I stop caring. I know my stories will be VERY AU for most people. There'll be no Angst and no 'Super Archer saves the f***ing universe' junk. I write what pleases me and people read it or not. That simple

[WarpGirl]

You go Man! Although I have to admit I don't like it when people ignore the characters. Events sure but characters that only works in MU.

Some characters are just wrong in the TV series.

a) how come T'Pol lost all couriousness after the Xindi mission?

b) how come a 32 year old teenager is suddenly a minister in the Vulcan High Council (T'Pau)

c) T'Pol kissed Trip on her own wedding to another guy. How come she gives him all the angst shit afterwards. I think it is TPTB who went AU and pretty lausily at that.

*sigh*

[Silverbullet]

Alelou, I hae said before I am a literalist. I dot i and cross t's. Habit from my work world.
So, if it would take 15 months then that is what I go with.

Hell in the Scifi world trip gets knocked up. How interesting it would have been to see him deliver. How? by C section?
