better living thru treksmut !  The Small Screen
An ASCEM(L) Round Robin

The first ASCEM(L) round robin, entitled "The Small Screen", is already 22 episodes long (11/28/98) and still going (and before you ask, a slight numbering error has stuck!). It is introduced here by Ruth Gifford and Robin Lawrie:

Ruth:

"A smutty round robin: I'm thinking something that we post as we write and then the next person takes over. I'll keep track of the segments for archiving and so on. So, if you want to get into something that wouldn't require a lot of writing time but might get those creative juices (and other juices, for that matter) flowing, drop me a line..."

Robin:

"Here's the gist of it. Q is researching love and lust by watching old TV shows. Picard convinces him that real life is totally different. So Q decides to watch the crew getting it on instead. Picard sits back and lets him. <g>  I guess he got tired of scolding Q all the time.

"Everyone can have a crack at whatever pairing they like, but the connection is that Q and Picard are watching, unbeknownst to the crew, and commenting (maybe like MST3K if you like) with, hopefully, Q learning a few things about love and lust. He could get very turned on by it all. Be nice if Johnny did too, I suppose."

Ruth:

"I read this to mean that Q's magic TV can look anywhere and anywhen. Are you paying attention, TOS, DS9 and VOY writers? Are you interested? Are you willing to do short sex scenes involving your favorite pairings? Are these all trick questions?

"I'm thinking that we don't have to stick to one pairing per set of characters either. In other words, if someone wants to do a J/7 and someone else wants to do a J/C, that's fine too. We don't even have to stick to one scene per pairing (more than one K/S or G/B writers wants to play? Fine, come on in, the water's lovely...). After all, on QTV there can be reruns, A/Us and so on."

And so it began... the following episodes have already been posted (look out for a full archive when the story's complete):

All episodes are coded as [NR] - not rated - and posts have been marked as being parts of the round robin. You are reminded that episodes XII and XXIII include description of non-consensual sex.
