Subspace Scandal

Description

“Stardate blah blah, we scanned some nebula gas, and then diplomacy happened.”

Let’s be honest: Captain’s logs are great, but can end up a little boring. 

The real stories happen in the hallways, in the mess, in the turbolift that gets stuck for four awkward minutes right after two people definitely-almost kissed.
That’s the juice. That’s the drama. That’s what Star Crossed, the galaxy’s most shameless tabloid, lives for.

And now, so do you.

Your task: Write an article for Star Crossed covering one of Bravo Fleet’s missions. This could be one of your own ship’s escapades, or someone else’s ship (with all the wild-eyed speculation and unnamed sources you can conjure).

What Star Crossed is looking for: 

  • The arguments that nearly derailed the bridge crew before the big crisis.
  • The romance that bloomed (and probably imploded) somewhere between Sickbay and Deck 12.
  • The secrets shared over synthehol when everyone swore they wouldn’t tell anyone else.
  • The mysterious disappearance of a captain’s entire stash of real coffee.

Basically: if you wouldn’t put it in a mission report, it belongs here.


How to Enter:

Choose a finished or ongoing mission from either your ship or someone else’s.

Write an in-universe tabloid article for Star Crossed. Sensational headlines encouraged. (“First Officer in Love Triangle with the Warp Core? Read More Inside!”)

Minimum: 250 words. Maximum: unlimited. If you want to turn in a ten-thousand-word exposé with photos, charts, and a sidebar about “Best and Worst Dressed on Deck Five,” we won’t stop you.

Remember: this isn’t about what happened on the mission. This is about what happened around it, behind it, and after it.

Criteria

  • Articles should be input in the text box, as should a link to the command you are writing the article about.
