To prepare for a possible competition of Star Trek dreams I will want to see what your ideas for a Star Trek fantasy are. Tell me what you would have ABC and Paramount do for you. Why is your idea more deserving than the next guys? Have fun, be nasty or nice but make a compelling case. I will learn how to deal with your ideas by how you deal with each other’s. In the end you will see what I have submitted to ABC. We will see if I make the next cut.

I dream of a free legal license to use any Star Trek content I want for Star Trek: Supremacy. But, more importantly, I want to score with 7 of 9.

Kiss me, ravish me you animal?
Why would your access to the Star Trek content be more compelling than say an episode staring solder that have returned home injured from Iraq?
(no, that is not what I just sent in but play hard ball as best you can)

Here we go.
TITLE = Alpha / Beta Quadrant.
This would be different. It would cover each major race, from a previous timeline. i.e. before TNG. It would show how each started small and grew into the empires that we know and love/hate. I would start with the Klingons, as they are one of the first Races to have contact with the Federation. We could see how the Great houses were formed, then grew or fell. We could see there development for the warbirds and cloaking, but up to a point only. The next segment would show the Romulans with the same growth aspect. Same with the Cardiassions and Ferengi. To tie them all in would be when they made first contact with each other. We could see the battle of Kittimer, The Revolts on Cardassia Prime and Romulus. Also when they first met the Federation but from thier perspective!
This would make a compelling storyline as well as provide excellent actual space battles between different races.
For Trek fans whom are not stuck only on Federation ships, personel and storylines. This could correct so much misunderstood canon gaps for gamers as well.
Keep it real. None of this fight this hour, then have a sexy love scene 7 minutes later. Raw and gritty (NOT GORE) compelling, entertainment.
I'm writing a stronger history of Romulus anyway, and plan to do so with the other majors.
Guest persons "1 show only" Devs, Moe, Myself, Skeeter, Azh, etc. And not all at once. Special Guests could be soldiers back from Iraq, but from all countries involved, not just Americans.
This is my submission. Not fully complete but as close as I can come to in a short time.
At a later place in the timeline we can see how the Borg developed as well as the Breen and Dominion.

I want to be on the show. A guest spot would be wonderful, as an engineer, or even as ANYTHING. Just Federation though (i wouldnt want to be a romulan, though I would take the spot if asked)
that would be... freaking... awesome. More so than you may believe.
---
maybe one day in the far far future, when someone creates a 'new trek' (like what they did with TNG) ill get in. Maybe...

Al Gore, formally the next president of the United States, has honed his global warming presentation to a very fine show by presenting it many times, working many related issues into his presentation and responding to feed back. What can I incorporate from what we have so far?
OK, to summarize:
Winterhawk7 has a script for an episode. This would be a timeline of sorts and perhaps like a documentary. A compelling reason to choose his proposal would be using wounded and recovering solders in the cast.
Nemitor_Atimen wishes to act in a Star Trek episode as a Federation officer.
Skeeter has a playboy fantasy.
So if the viewers were interested enough to vote for their choice why would they favor one over the other? The use of the wounded solders is clearly a powerful emotion button to push. The chance to have your 15 minutes is compelling emotionally. Sex will always peak interest. What other issues could we address? Could there be a story line of how the people of earth overcame global warming and this leads to the birth of the Federation? We play the wounded soldier card and the global warming card at the same time? Are there any other major hot button issue that could be tied into Star Trek, the birth of the Federation and a proposal? How would disease, hunger, war or scientific exploration play into our appeal to the voting public? How do we play the sex card in all this?

I'd do a totally different approach to all this. Why always dwell on the theoretical side which is known anyway (or not  ). So I'd show it from the first person view of let's say a child in the 24th or even in the 22th century (year 2161) walking through this period of time, letting the viewer see the kid grow up, experience the effects of global warming if you wish, share some playboy fantasies (I can provide you with good pictures for that..hehe not really but ya know), have sex later on and end up as general_nemitor in the starfleet battling with janeway hand in hand against 2kilos of borg drones which they fight off quite easily with one finger according to voyager stats and specs of borg drone strength for example.
hm, don't know what rode me that I wrote this...

In order to answer your question Azhdeen - the lack of instruction indicate you should propose a Star Trek dream that ABC would be able to fulfill. To win the competition a vote will be held with the other contestant's ideas.
Clearly almost everyone is thinking in terms of writing or at least appearing in an episode. There is no requirement for a script in the instructions. Why should your script idea win over others? Will the audience want to listen to you read the plot?
If you wanted to go to the playboy mention with 7 of 9, see above, I am not sure ABC could do that for you. You might have to settle for two or three of nine at motel 8. Do not let her get in your head.

this is your statement.. I can only speak for myself, but I followed those above as best I could? Is that not what you wanted?

well I think what he meant with these question about is it all better than the others' work or not is that he needs just confirmation from our side on that one. Well I can't give him one but there's no point in thinking about what the others might have better or not just do your own job, do it good and leave the rest to the jury. Can't do anything wrong with that.
btw. one point that could be important if they actually wanna pick up the show is that if you do it like I said with the personal life path whatever of some guy in the 22th or 24th century (even with a whole family as background stuff) then you can develop multiple characters in that family, have the viewer screen out which one they like most after viewing some season 1 episodes or have a nice transition/cliff hanger meaning you could follow and change the main character guy for exactly one season, then the next family member (son, wife, whatever) gets into closer screening.
You also have to think about ABC and the production at all, there must be some buffers and extra side paths one could go if the series does not go so well or if the series really goes well then you have to have a future perspective about someone/something else to make the series stay alive.
If the whole package sounds sensible then mostly you won't get last place in the contest

Today was the deadline for entries in the Dream On, America contest. A call came from Kim Kessler late in the day. She is with casting and is in charge of the Star Trek episode. She asked to talk over my proposal. We were interrupted by another call. It was late and we agreed to talk tomorrow when there was more time. I hate those ...to be continued cliffhangers episodes. This is a game that takes nerves of steel. You need to sound like this  While you feel like this  trying not to scream like a little girl and pee your panties.

Kim at the casting company, http://www.kasstinginc.com/ , has passed the application on to the ABC producers. This is the shorter short list before the producers decide on the group to go into production with. Touch wood as you say in the UK. Knock on wood as we say here in the states. What do they say where you are?
I hope it is more than just luck. Let us also hope it turns out to be an honorable competition of ideas and not a chance to pock fun at Star Trek fans.

A sign from the gods? When this project began my home made PC died. I took it in stride and complete the application process on the dell backup. On the day the application is sent on to the producers my new power supple arrives. Plug it in, no fuss, no muss, it is up and running. A favorable omen from the gods? baQa'  Glad it was just the power supply!
I can now continue work on models.
