i've been asked twice about colony 5. And, i'm sorry. I'd have to say Colony 5 is on extended hiatus. I've posted about it less, so interest dwindled down a little bit, so i posted on it less, so interest dwindled down...It's a dying spiral. But i'd like you to look at how i worded it: i sayed "on extended hiatus", not "disbandend". so, the option is up for us to come back later.

now, i need on opinion with this. if the general agreemen"yes", i'll proobably handle most of it. now, going to have a colony return home requires a lot of space. one starship, carrying all those colonists? unrealistic. now, there ARE, however, evacuation ships (or something along those lines) in existance. What if, the Nova-class ship is just the head of a small fleet? what if, we make it like DS9, in the sense where we have a load of characters that aren't main characters, but reacur a lot? each ship would have, like, 4 characters: a captain, a first officer, a navigater, and a helmsman. whenever more crew is needed, they would be called from the nova-class ship. now, my idea is to have maybe an extra 5-6 ships. What does everyone think?

Colony 5 will be a BZP-Hosted Star Trek series, with a total of 7 yearly seasons. Each season will start on the first saturday of January, and will have 20 stories per season. Ideas for a stories will be PM'd to one of the 3 story leaders (one of which will be me). If 2 out of the 3 of them like the idea, it is accepted. If accepted, the person has a choice: Either write the story themself, or ask a volunteer writer to write it. They will have a 2-week deadline to write it. Once written, it will be PM'd to a story leader. They will edit it, for storyline accuracy and what they want in the story. They then PM it to the next Story Leader. They then edit it. Then, they PM it to me, and i edit it. then, I PM it to the origional writer. If they change anything we want to have changed, the cycle repeats. This continues until the story is perfect. Now, things that will happen: 1st thing: I will have a contest to decide the 2 other story leaders. this will be decided by a 125-question star trek quiz. The first 10 people to volunteer will be sent the quiz, and the 2 highest scores will become the leaders. their duties will be: *Help me decide the characters, and other basic plot points *Editing stories sent in *Judging who becomes the volunteer writers *Voting on what ideas get in. This is currently in progress 2nd Thing: I will have a contest to decide 10 Volunteer Writers. They will have to send in samples of their writing, and will be judged by the story leaders. Their Duties will be: *Write stories for ideas sent in The 10 people that get in will cycle around, taking turns on who writes. 3rd Thing: I will have an artwork contest to draw the characters decided by myself and the story leaders. It will be judged by the Story Leaders, and maybe myself. anything in this plan you don't agree with, or have a question or comment about, let me know. i'm open to changes.

well, we had 5 entries. Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno, ThatOneGuy, Waffles, TakunuvaC01, The Doctor (i looked through your topics and found a story, so you're good). well, we didin't get 10...If the storyline leaders are in agreement, i'd say let 'em all be writers. keep in mind, since half of what i origionally planned have signed up, you guys possibly will have to write double what you had to do before. STORYLINE LEADERS: feel free to continue thinking up characters and stuff. take all the time yah need but, since we have the writers in, you can PM me your ideas on the characters any time you wish.

Sometime after we finish writers sign-up, we need to think up the characters. That's mine and your job. here's what i know for sure (but you can edit, if you see fit) 1:a human captain 2:a first officer with a lifespan of thousands of years, aged 400, looks like a teenager, plagued by the biases of "a child unfit for command" 3:Ensign B4 4:a Chief Medical Officer 5:a Chief Engineer beyond this, you may add caracters to any position on the ship you see fit. i'm not saying "say your ideas now", just begin thinking about them. and for the captain, CMO, and Chief Engineer, you can think of backstories and names of you wish. our goal is to get a rough physical description, species, name, and backstory for each character. (i call the first officer, though )

The next step is to have Writers. the basic idea is this: People around BZP send in ideas for stories, in one-sentance to one-paragraph concepts. If we approve it, they have a choice: write it themselves, or have one of our writers write it. There would be a rotation, and we will only accept 10 writers. This means, if we do get 10, and we do about 22 stories a year, absolute maximum you would have to write 3 stories a year. REQUIREMENTS: *Must be able to turn a one sentence to one paragraph concept into a decent story *Must be able to krank out a story in 2 weeks. *Must be able to handle potentially heavy editing by myself and the Storyline Leaders *Must have some concept of the plot of Star Trek TO ENTER: Post in the comments section of this page. Either link to a example of your writing you have written on BZP (Story, or epic. No poetry, comedy, or comic entries), or post the example in the comments itself. The Deadline is June 22, at 8:00 PM EST. This should give enough time to find a story you have already written, or type up a story you havent posted yet. This will be judged by the Storyline Leaders, at their discretion.

It will be sent at 4PM EST, today. you will have exactly 24 hours to answer it. If i do not recieve an answer in time, i will look at your profile. if you have been active in the last day, you are disqualified. if you havent been active, i will assume you had other stuff to do. so, i will extend the deadline for you.

Post if you want to volunteer in the comments. I will wait for the first 10 contenders, or sunday. whichever comes first. At which point, i'll send you a 25-question general-knowlegde star trek quiz, and give you 24 hours to answer it. the 2 highest scores will become the storyline leaders. In the case of a tie, i will figure out a sudden-death thing. or whatever it's called. Keep in mind, the leaders will have a lot of responsibility in this project. ACCEPTED INTO THE RUNNING: 1:Toa Kaitan Thunder Inferno 2:Stoney the Rapter 3:Valenti 4:ThatOneGuy

alright: for all non-star trek fans, the next blog entry will look like gobbledegook. for all star trek fans, the next blog entry will look like gobbledegook i just got a great idea last night, and i gotta get it all written down. Well, i just bought the song colony 5 by Colony 5. it's very star-trekky. in fact, just about all i could think of while listening to it was star trek. it also contained the lines "we seek colony 5". now, the name of the band came from the ST:TOS episode "Charlie X". it was the location they where bringing the mega-powerful child...then, an idea hit me..."what, if to avoid going there, charlie caused the colony to be destroyed?" then, another idea hit me. "what if, when everything he did got fixed, what if they messed up, and Colony 5 was moved out into space?" i was getting really excited at this point. "What if, when the voyager was returning, they had on long-range sensors, and, upon envestigation of the sensor logs, they found the location of Colony 5?" then, i thought "what if Starfleet decides to send a rescue mission to Colony 5?" Then, i realised something. This would make an awesome new series of Star Trek. Then, i realised that probably won't happen, since the release of the 2009 movie. then, i realised this was too good of an idea to go to waste. then, i realised i would have to take it into my own hands. It wouldn't be a TV show, more like written short stories (more long stories, about the length of a DS9 script). release about 24 stories a year, like in normal seasons of star trek, and have a run of 7 years. and now, things i've figured out i should have for sure: 1:set on a Vesta class ship 2:Seasons 1-3 would be set on the journey there, making first contact with multiple planets. 4 would be on Colony 5. 5-7 would be returning home, with some of the colonists, and seeing what happened with some of the planets they visited. 3:the first officer would be of a species with a lifespan of 1000s of years, and, although he'd be 400, he'd look like a child, a fact that torments him do to some people's biases. he would have "taken his Kobiashi Maru test with Spock at ops" 4: there would be an Ensign B4 as a main character 5:the captain would be human 6:Ambassader Picard would give them the mission briefing 7:possible visits of Q throughout the series 8:it'd stay 100% consistant with TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, and all the movie's canon. 9:it'd occur at some point after when spock went into the mirror universe. 10:the individual stories would have the same quality of any star trek episode. 11:i'd write the first episode, and last episode. now, i'm not the best writer in the world. so, perhaps, one of the biggest forums for bionicle in the world would hold this in the COT. and, we'd have Star Trek fans all over BZP subbmitting ideas for stories, and if accepted, they'd write the episode. it'd then be edited a little bit for accuracy, but still... but, i'd probably head this. and, in my opinion, the best way for me to be 100% accurate and deserve that role, would be for me to watch every star trek episode there is, twice. at the moment, i've seen TAS and TOS twice. but, beyond that, i'm only halfway through TNG. i've never seen a DS9, VOY, or ENT episode. so, i probably won't be qualified until maybe a few years from now. and, i think i need to review Charlie X to be sure on my facts. but, trekkies who read this blog, keep this idea in the back of your head. if we're good enough, we might be able to convince the writers of Star Trek to do something with this.
