Collaborative StarTrek vs. StarWars Story Project
Posted: 2008-08-08 01:18am
I don't know if this would work, or if there is an interest in the project. But I was thinking of trying to put together a collaborative project with the goal of coming up with a story about the interaction between the Star Wars Galaxy and the StarTrek galaxy.
It would be collaborative so no single person's vision would be the force behind it. Of course, everybody has the right to leave the project if what they want is completely undermined or ignored by the majority. And at the same time, some structure would exist. This is not the structure of forcing information but rather of trying to get conversations to stay on topic and all that.
The basic idea would be a story set in the Star Trek Galaxy. I have always liked the idea of what sort of situation would occur if a single Imperial starship or a small group of Imperial starships found themselves in the Star Trek galaxy.
And yes, I know, they already exist in some form on both this site and the ASVS archive. That is fine, but I was wondering if maybe the group could try and come up with something.
Some people might say why are you artificially limiting the Star Wars forces to a single ship, and I answer story. Not to limit technology or anything but because if it is but a small squadron then it allows us to write more about the individual rather than huge battles of thousands of ships sweeping through the Federation in no time flat as Starfleet is unable to provide any resistance.
I do want to make note that while I do like Star Trek, I believe that the technology of Star Wars is superior in most respects. Not like one shot destruct superior, but generally more battle worthy. That said, the fact that this is a story would mean that things would happen to provide chances or the Imperial ships would face some losses to make things entertaining.
I also want to make note that I don't really do dialog, in fact I am downright bad at it. I do create settings, timelines, articles, and exposition stories and all that, but dialog ridden segments are not my forte. I would love to get others involved in this, to work on this and to make it something interesting. I would also like to note that this would be a serious attempt, not a joke one.
I hope that there are individuals interested in this attempt.
