The Best of Star Trek: Alchemy

Members of crew recommend some of their favorite examples of our work from 2008

With some seven hundred posts being written in the first year and plot arcs spanning three thousand pages of text, it's very difficult to choose favorites among the chapters we've written together.

This is why I do not select 'posts of the month'. Asking me to choose between the works submitted by our writers would be like asking me to choose between air and water.

Yet, I have asked some of our writers to do just that and pick out what they believe to be our finest moments over the past year. I hope that you'll enjoy these posts as much as we did (and still do).

"He flushed the little towel from by the sink!" ~Thomas Blakeslee (as told by Lair Kellyn, in the post Reduced to This)

-=/\=-

"So, how about you Danger? Chinese?"

“Actually, I’m not really hungry…” Rada really was hungry, but since the first meal he shared with Breaux of his hometown dishes, he had decided that he wouldn’t eat any Terran food that he hadn’t at least run under a tricorder first.

“Oh, come on. Everyone else is eating. I wouldn’t want you to feel left out. How about a leaf of stir-fried beef? A fork of sweet and sour pork? A smidgen of salt baked pigeon?”

It seemed that the commander really wanted him to eat and so he relented. “Perhaps I’ll just have what Kellyn’s having.” Rada didn’t know what a Szechuan was but he had eaten chicken before and liked it, if his memory served it was nice and bland.

“There we go. I knew I’d get you to eat.” Reece said as he gave Rada an encouraging pat on the back. “Now, what else would you like?”

“Really the chicken will be enough,” Rada replied.

“How about just a little Kung Pao Shrimp on the side?”

“Really, I’m fine,” Rada replied.

“Really? You won’t have just a tiny bit?” Reece asked again, demonstrating by bringing his thumb and forefinger together just how small it could be.

“Really,” Rada confirmed.

“It could just be a tiny, tiny, tiny….” Reece would have kept emphasizing how small it was for ten more tinys but Kellyn objected through the window.

“Leave the poor man alone.”(Dialog for all three characters written by Rada Dengar for the post I'll Take What's in the Box, Monty!)
