January 31
The second community present, aka macro-update, is here... and I didn't call it that for nothing. Find something to hold onto, ladies and gents, because TJI just hit the big 47 -- and the eTrektion is back. For the uninitiated, back in '04 I started This Just In's second multipart storyline. (The first was the Zuke saga, chronicled in issues 13, 19, and 20.) I'd been toying with some "X becomes new executive producer of Star Trek" ideas, and it occurred to me I could do them all at once. Two things happened that I didn't expect: one, the name "eTrektion" stuck; and two, several readers asked if they could run. Before I could control it, half the forumgoers were declaring their candidacy. Deciding not to fight a big surge in reader interest, I wrote the new candidates into the storyline (with the understanding that this is a story, not a real election -- I haven't even revealed who the voters are). Then I dropped the ball, and I don't really know why. What I do know is that when you drop a ball, every day it gets harder to pick up. (I may possibly be straining the metaphor.) And so I haven't done anything with the eTrektion since September of last year. But the various "parties" are still around and have kept campaigning in their sigs, waiting for... well, this. So read the article. Check out the eTrektion page, a work in progress. Bone up on the past articles if you need to, and stay tuned for more. (Oh, and see if you can spot the hint to the final community present.) Up next: Doctor Who!

Incredible!
The eTrektion is back! That really is a macro-update! Of course, that means I'm going to need to start campaigning again! :mrgreen: Quote:

South Park, Manny Coto is God, and Pamela Anderson in a new series, eh? Hoo boy... actually, that last one's not too far off, I fear. Fun stuff, Zeke!

Honest to goodness, it's good to see that this is, like Trip, not dead ( ). And Doctor Who to follow? Sounds distinctly promising!

Wait, can there really be an eTrektion anymore? I mean, after all, when it started we didn't have all these other shows mucking up the place. Does this mean we're going back to our heritage? (Season 4 Enterprise)?

Is the Hawk-Man still a candidate? or did he bail at the Committe Of Expressed Interest stage?

Hawking's still in. Which is good because that's at least one candidate profile I don't have to redo.

(I liked the John Byrne joke. And the Canada one. And the retcon one. And the Manny Coto one. And the George Lucas one. And...) Also: Doctor Who?

Coool. Since I appear to be the only person on the forum who is politically unalligned, I would like to hearby declare the canidacy of the Vote for Us and Maybe We Won't Assimilate You Party. Pending the approval of the almighty Zeke. As my running mate, I would nominate A Person, but he (she? I don't remember) isn't around any more. Then again, neither is HAL, that I recall, sooooo....
Possible slogan: "After all, if you can't trust a pair of preadolecent kids on oppisite sides of the Atlantic, who can you trust?"
