'Kirk Vs. Picard'
If you are a huge Star Trek fan, maybe you already have a ton of fan fiction about the show. Wednesday, CBS and fanlib.com launched a new contest that might be just for you. The contest is hosted by Trek stars George Takei (who has even more geek cred as of late thanks to his role as Hiro's dad on Heroes) and Wil Wheaton (who has a huge online following thanks to his blog, his books and other writing), who go over the scenario in more detail in video.
Here's the scenario, as emailed from fanlib:
KvP is a fan-driven storytelling event, powered by FanLib, that invites you and other members of the Star Trek community to write and review scenes for a new adventure around one of the oldest Star Trek fan debates: Who's better? Kirk or Picard? This is the first time CBS has ever invited fans to officially play in the Star Trek universe at an online fan writing event.
Hosts George Takei and Wil Wheaton will present story ideas that were developed by writer/producer Andre Bormanis, in which captains Kirk and Picard clash. Your first mission is to vote for the story idea you want to write or read as a script. Next week, the writing and reviewing begins. To help you on your KvP mission, you can watch videos of George and Wil discussing their favorite episodes, the strengths and weaknesses of their respective captains, and other Trek-related topics.
