"BoM Poll: Mystery Box" 

I've posted a new poll, and if it is labeled as a "Mystery Box" it's because that's what it is. I'm not telling you what it is related to, or even if it is going to affect anything.

Basically, I need a kind of Random Plot Generator, and I'm using you guys to give it to me!

It will close on Thursday, March 27, at 12:00pm ET.

Also, just because (and because I'm publishing nothing else this weekend) I'm posting a few chapters from a fanfiction that I've been goofing around with off and on for a long time:

"Double Double (1)" 
"Double Double (2)" 
"Double Double (3)" 

It's based on the Star Trek novel "Double, Double," which is a sequel to the ST:TOS episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" I read that book a long time ago, and got the idea to try my hand at a different version of the setup, both to do my own spin on it and to see if I could handle writing a passably okay Star Trek novel. (I've read a few; "Double Double" is the best of those I've read, but the others were bilge.) It's unfinished and I doubt I ever will finish it. But bit by bit I might share it out inside BoM.

The first and third chapters, with some changes of word choice, is drawn almost exactly from the original novel. Besides the crew of the Enterprise, a handful of other characters have been carried over from the original as well. Other than that, and beginning with Chapter 2, though, my version of the story diverges wildly from the original.

I'm afraid this will be an interactive-exclusive publication.
