[LAB Phase 3]: Labyrinth Lost
Description
The Captain’s Log is a technique frequently used in Star Trek to set the scene or recap a series of events. Over the last month, your crew has been through a lot as Underspace apertures materialized throughout the galaxy and they dealt with the consequences. Now it’s time to retell the tale, documenting the proceedings of your ship across the Fleet Action in the voice of your ship’s Commanding Officer.
For this competition, your Captain’s Log may be written in first-person as a direct articulation of the log, or it may be written in the third-person if you find it more effective to intersperse their thoughts and emotions as they articulate it.
Criteria
- Your Captain's Log must be between 500 and 1,000 words in length. It must be your independent creative work, and it must have been written during the duration of this competition.
- Your Captain's Log must cover events in a mission that occurred on your command during the Labyrinth Fleet Action. Fleet-wide sandboxes and role-playing games are not eligible for this competition.
- Your submission should be the Captain's Log itself, written in either the first or third person. Your submission should also include a link to the mission to which it relates. Your Captain's Log may be incorporated into a story posted to your command, but extra material from such a story should not be included in your submission.
- Your submission will be evaluated based on (1) clarity of storytelling related to the command's story, (2) depth of character development for the narrator, and (3) writing quality and style.
