Ha! *Huge mess* - "Honey, I made dinner!"

Yes, beautiful. The title wins it and the last line ends it perfectly. Wine after a ruined night of cooking ... been there man. I've burned many things, made many things go horrible wrong in the kitchen. I feel for Ken (Asian food is hellishly hard to make well, and I know, I'm a quarter Japanese!) and I'm glad his girl came prepared.
Fun story.

Aww! It was exceptionally sweet, if messy, what Ken was trying to do. I felt a little bad for him there at the end where it didn't work out, but hopefully, the wine will make up for it. Awesome little ficlet; nice work!

Cor, nothing beats leopard print underwear. Takes me back to my youth.

LOL! I love first the humour. Second the challenge met to write about laundry. And of course the sheer terror of the specialist once caught with the offending articles in hand. And finally, that you can do the bone dry humour of a Vulcan in that situation makes it just smarter and funnier.

Oops! Well and truly sprung. Giggles abound.

Wow, Seymour has a hell of a chip on her shoulder when it comes to St. Peter. Her animosity seems almost personal. I don't know anything about St. Peter but I feel for her if this is how her officers treat her.

Oh, BUSTED. I love it! I love the buildup. Goeltz is funny, and I really love Yaaras struggling to keep humor in check. But the ending, yes, was definitely the winner -- first the oh-crap factor, but then the good humor and camaraderie between Yaaras and Elaina at the end just made it. Great work!

HAHA, oh man, classic. Got to love a good laundry story, especially one with pink undergarments. Pink leopard undergarments. I'm so glad you took the Vulcan perspective here and showed us that, though he wasn't laughing outright, he was laughing on the inside. A fun little jaunt.
Author's Response: It's the best thing I've learned about Vulcans in recent years: they HAVE emotions, very very strong emotions that they just don't show outright. It still affects them - look at the frustration they were trying hard not to show when dealing with Earth in ENT - but they've got to be reacting on the inside. I love showing that aspect, it adds such another level to these mysterious characters

I half expected Julian to answer when Seurer asked him what he was doing with her underwear, to say he was trying 'em on.
Well done.
Author's Response: BWAHAHAHAHA! If only I had more words to use! I hadn't even thought of that!

Damn! That man is waiting to learn a lesson. A short ficlet has the challenge of setting up characters, settings and if possible world history. You somehow convey so much in so little about this universe and the dynamics of a crew in a sufferign Starfleet. That's no mean feat and well done on that score. Well done too on the sheer dynamics of that interchange and everything that it pomises could come next for these characters.

Somehow good to see conflict on a starship in and around the bridge. Who occupies the chair matters and here more so than ever.

::hiss:: Blistering opinion there. Nicely written!
Date: 20 May 2013 01:14 Title: A Problem With Authority
Wow. That's some hardcore insubordination, there! Well-written. It seems like a disaster that almost inevitably has to happen, too. Good on Wirstowx for keeping his cool, but man. I'm not sure I could have!

Argh, this is not good for our Jess.
Sonia, I'm a lady, so I'll just call you a jerk.
Well written.

Wow, Seymour is not pleased with Jesse being captain of the ship. Can't say I blame him, especially considering everything that happened. Wirstowx did his damndest to explain to him the situation but Seymor don't care at this point. He's not happy and he's gonna stay not happy it seems. Strong dynamics between the characters here and a great feel for how disrespected Seymour feels at all this. Looking forward to more.
