A huge thanks to everyone who participated, I had a lot of fun with this. It was my first time modding a fic challenge, and so I appreciate your patience with the changing schedules and everything. I'll be putting up a poll for feedback, and I'm especially interested in feedback from people who signed up but weren't able to finish, so if that's you then please keep an eye out for it. The poll will also be my attempt to gauge interest in a second round, since there seemed to be so much interest in the challenge initially, I want to try and give as many of you guys a chance to finish and post as possible. :)

If you have any final questions or comments, leave 'em here.

i haven't slept yet so it's still technically the 8th, right? >.>;;;

Notes : Real life circumstances completely ambushed me this last month, and as such, this is not the more epic fic I wanted to finish for this challenge. THAT one is and sitting partially written in my documents, crying out for the next slot in my to-do list so I can finish it. So instead, this is a sort of alternate take on that fic--a slice of a different point of view to the whole thing.

Thanks for betas and cheerleading to rhaegal and betweenthebliss. Any alien technology in this story that may look familiar to you has no resemblance to that of any other TV show you may or may not have watched. Cross my heart.

2010-03-17T12:18:20Z

Additionally, if you need a beta or would like to offer your beta services, head back over to this post and sign up. So far we've got a handful of offers from challenge members for their beta and/or cheerleading services; thank you to everyone who has already volunteered!

On the issue of further housekeeping, if you must drop out of the challenge, now is the time to let us know. We promise to understand and not be total bitches about it. No, really, we've been in comms with bitch!mods and it's no fun.

a few notes on posting your fics :

for uniformity, we've decided to have you guys post your fics under the title of the episode and then your own title in parentheses -- like what remixredux09 did with their posts. ie: if your episode is arena, you'd title it "Arena (the walk without rhythm remix)" or redux or reboot or whatever word you like to use. again, feel free to trawl remixredux09 for ideas. XD

the code for posting is here for your copy/paste convenience :

Title : Episode Remixed : season and ep # please :) Author : Rating : Warnings : Characters/Pairings : Word Count : Summary : Notes :

if you're going to post your fic on the comm, use an LJ cut. if you're linking to your journal, a fake cut or just a link is fine.

you have from today until march 31st to post your fic to count for round one of the fest. (whether there's a round two will depend on your feedback. :)) once your first fic is posted, you're free to write your second and third choices and post those as well. and a reminder that after march 31st all episodes will open up for anyone to write, regardless of signups.

as of right now, you guys all have posting access to the comm, but for now please only use it to post your fic; if you have any more questions, just drop us a comment here or on any of the other mod posts. :D

thanks you guys for signing up for this fest, words can't even express my excitement at reading all the awesome fic you've come up with.

2010-02-08T01:22:57Z

hey everyone :)

so between work insanity and a weekend of company visiting, i've had a crazy two weeks, and the intended date to open posting here totally slipped by me. MY BAD. >.>;;; so i'll just be bumping that up to the fifteenth of the month, that's just about a week away.

i wanted to check in with you guys too and see how your fics are coming along! feel free to post here if you're having trouble with anything, or if you need a beta, or if you're having trouble locating your episode to do a rewatch, or for any reason whatsoever.

<3 you guys and thanks for your patience. XD

CASTING CALL

2010-01-15T15:26:06Z

so i don't know about you, but we mods have agreed that half the fun of rebooting classic trek is recasting some memorable guest stars. imagine if this were actually a TV show-- who would we have on to guest star?

for example-- not to steal raindissolved's thunder, but it's too brilliant an example to pass up-- a while back, rin pointed out that to recast the ever-gregarious and obnoxious harry mudd, the choice is clear.

----->

BRUCE CAMPBELL. Y/Y/MFY?

SO. here's where you can have some fun casting khan, lenore, gary mitchell, finnegan and all the rest of the famous or infamous extras peppered throughout TOS. post your pics and links in the comments, and offer suggestions to each other. who knows, it might spark an idea in some of the awesome fanartists in this fandom-- god knows the only thing better than rebooted TOS fic would be ILLUSTRATED rebooted TOS fic. XD

now, if only i can figure out what i want the reboot!gorn to look like..... ;D
<3!

eta : also, i just finished updating the claims post, and we have 53 eps claimed! that only includes people's first choices, too; if some of us finish in time to write second choices, we might have even more! thank you guys for your enthusiasm, seriously, this is going to be so awesome. XD

bumping the claims list!

2009-12-29T03:35:44Z

the quick reference claimed!eps post can be found here.

to claim an unclaimed episode, refer to the original claims post here.

pimp away, everybody! all us mods are super excited that we've got such an awesome group of people so far, but the more the merrier. with so many of us riding that post-yuletide wave of adrenaline and praise (or, as in my case, deadline panic), i know we can all accomplish great ongoing-mission types of things.

as always, comment with questions, concerns, and/or superfluous love! *\o/*

CLAIMS POST - NOW OPEN

2009-12-10T15:15:22Z

THE POST IS NOW OPEN. CLAIM AWAY!

Okay, here's the way this is going to work, just to make everything easier for all of us involved, mods and participants.

I am going to put up a top-level comment for each episode with the episode number and name in the title. If you want to sign up for that episode, just comment with the following :

- If you're the first person to comment to an episode as your choice #1, the ep is yours to write for-- hooray!
- If someone has commented to it already as their #2 choice you can still sign up for it! The first person to comment to an episode as their #1 choice gets to write for that ep.
- Please post a comment to no more than three episodes. And not that we expect anyone to do this, but we will be checking to make sure you didn't post two #1 choices. ;)

We're having you put a few choices mainly because if someone drops out, the episode they were writing for will open up to others who wanted to write it, and we want to make that process as easy as possible. If there's only one ep you want to write for, you only have to comment to that one thread. And if you have any questions about this process, leave 'em in the FAQ post, I'll be F5'ing it as I go. :D

tomorrow

2009-12-09T17:42:30Z

Just a friendly reminder that episode signups begin tomorrow! I'll put up the post when I get to work at some point, so keep your eyes peeled, and be ready with your first choice of episode!

FAQ

2009-11-26T04:17:21Z

Questions for the mods? Leave 'em here.

BUT FIRST : did you check the welcome post to see if your question was answered in the rules?? You did? Good. Then ask away!

-- Emily, for the mods.

EPISODE LIST

2009-11-26T04:14:51Z

under the cut, a list of the episodes and their summaries, nabbed from wikipedia. this is not a signup post. this is just for reference.

---season one---

"The Cage"
The crew of the Enterprise follow a distress signal to the planet Talos IV, where Captain Pike is taken captive by a group of telepathic aliens. The events of this episode are revisited in the Season 1 episodes "The Menagerie, Parts I and II".

"The Man Trap"
The Enterprise visits planet M-113 for a routine medical inspection of archaeologists Robert and Nancy Crater, but find that Nancy Crater has been replaced by a deadly, shape-shifting creature.

"Charlie X"
While traveling about the Enterprise, a dangerous young man named Charlie Evans terrorizes the crew with his unusual mental powers.

"Where No Man Has Gone Before"
After the Enterprise attempts to cross the Great Barrier at the edge of the galaxy, crew members Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner develop "godlike" psychic powers which threaten the safety of the crew.

"The Naked Time"
A strange, intoxicating infection which lowers the crew's emotional inhibitions spreads throughout the Enterprise. A crew member's inebriated actions place the ship in danger, forcing Scotty to perform a hazardous and untested engineering procedure to save the ship from destruction.

"The Enemy Within"
While beaming up from planet Alpha 177, a transporter accident splits Captain Kirk into two beings: one "good," who acts weak and indecisive; and one "evil", who acts overly aggressive and domineering. Scotty must quickly repair the transporter system to reunite the two Kirks, and to rescue the landing party trapped on the surface of the icy planet below.

"Mudd's Women"
The Enterprise encounters interstellar con man Harry Mudd, who is arrested on outstanding charges while ferrying three extraordinarily beautiful women to a remote planet, destined to be wives for the miners located there. In actuality, the plain-looking women use illegal Venus drugs, which make them appear to be much more attractive than their natural appearance; after the drugs wear off, revealing Mudd's deception.

"What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
In search of Nurse Chapel's fiancé, renowned exobiologist Roger Korby, the Enterprise visits the icy planet Exo III, where Korby has discovered an ancient machine which allows him to duplicate any living person with an android replacement. Korby plans to use the machine to spread controlled androids throughout the Federation, and replaces Captain Kirk with such a duplicate in an effort to take over the Enterprise.

"Miri"
After discovering what appears to be a duplicate of the planet Earth, Captain Kirk and his landing party find a population ravaged by a strange disease, which has two effects: children are granted extraordinarily long life, but anyone who reaches puberty (including the adult landing party) develop painful sores which eventually kill the infected. The oldest child, a girl named Miri, develops a jealous affection for Captain Kirk, and works with the other children to kidnap Janice Rand after Kirk attempts to comfort the frightened yeoman.

"Dagger of the Mind"
At Tantalus V, a rehabilitation colony for the criminally insane, the inmates have taken over the asylum using a neural neutralizer, which is used to remove (or implant) memories from a subject's mind. One colony administrator, Simon van Gelder, escapes to the Enterprise, leading Captain Kirk to investigate the colony. While on the surface, Kirk is brainwashed and taken prisoner, but is helped by Dr. Helen Noel, a colleague from the Enterprise who joined him on the planet. Spock performs a mind-meld with van Gelder to counteract the effects of the neutralizer, healing his mind and allowing van Gelder to take over the colony after Kirk and Noel's rescue.

"The Corbomite Maneuver"
The Enterprise find an odd, glowing cube floating in interstellar space, which must be destroyed after it begins to emit dangerous radiation. Following the cube's destruction, an immense, glowing sphere called Fesarius races to the Enterprise's location, controlled by Balok, an alien who announces that he will destroy the Enterprise in retribution. Captain Kirk manages to bluff Balok into believing the Enterprise contains a deadly substance called Corbomite, which would severely damage any attacking ship. After managing to escape the Fesarius's tractor beam, disabling the alien ship, Kirk and a landing party board the sphere, discovering the true identity of the vessel's controller.

"The Menagerie, Part I"
After claiming to receive a subspace message, Spock diverts the Enterprise to Starbase 11 in order to visit the ship's previous captain, Christopher Pike, who has been severely injured and was using a wheelchair. Spock continues his deception by secretly transporting Pike to the Enterprise and uses falsified orders to take the ship to the quarantined world Talos IV (leaving Captain Kirk behind). Kirk and Commodore Mendez of Starbase 11 trail and eventually catch up to the Enterprise in a shuttle, where Spock surrenders. Mendez orders Spock to trial, where Spock uses the events of "The Cage" as his defense.

"The Menagerie, Part II"
Spock continues detailing the events of "The Cage" to the tribunal, using video evidence transmitted from Talos IV directly to the Enterprise. After witnessing the Talosians' capabilities of mental illusion, Kirk realizes that Spock intends to return Pike to the planet, where he can resume a normal life. Starfleet officially sanctions Spock's plan, and Pike is transported to the surface where his injuries appear completely healed.

"The Conscience of the King"
The Enterprise visits Planet Q at the request of Dr. Thomas Leighton, a friend of Captain Kirk. Leighton suspects that the leader of a famous acting troupe, Anton Karidian, is actually Kodos "The Executioner," the murderous former governor of planet Tarsus IV, where Kirk grew up. Kirk initially disagrees, believing the official story detailing Kodos' death years earlier, but begins to doubt after Leighton is found dead. To confirm Karidian's identity, Kirk arranges for the troupe to perform aboard the Enterprise.

"Balance of Terror"
While investigating a series of destroyed outposts, the Enterprise discovers a lone Romulan vessel with cloaking device. The Romulans, having never been seen by humans, are revealed to visually resemble Vulcans, which causes navigator Lt. Stiles to suspect Spock of treason. The two ships become locked in a cat-and-mouse battle through space, leaving the Enterprise seemingly crippled by Romulan weapons.

"Shore Leave"
Captain Kirk orders shore leave for the Enterprise crew on a seemily unihabited planet in the Omicron Delta system. The landing parties begin to see strange sights, such as the White Rabbit, Don Juan, and a sword-wielding samurai. Kirk sees (and fights) an image of Finnegan, a rival from his Starfleet Academy days. Spock discovers that the planet seems to be drawing a large amount of energy from the ship's engines, placing the Enterprise in danger.

"The Galileo Seven"
Spock and a scientific party are sent to study the Murasaki 312 quasar aboard the shuttle Galileo. During the survey, the Galileo is forced to make an emergency landing on the planet Taurus II, where the crew fight the planet's dangerous inhabitants. As the crew begin to make repairs, Scotty determines that the shuttle does not have enough fuel to reach orbit carrying all seven passengers, and Spock must contemplate leaving some of his fellow crew behind.

"The Squire of Gothos"
The Enterprise discovers a rogue planet drifting through space, inhabited by an eccentric being named Trelane who uses his apparently unlimited power over matter and form to manipulate the crew.

"Arena"
The Enterprise comes under attack by unknown aliens while investigating the near-destruction of the Cestus III colony. While chasing the aliens into unexplored space, both ships are captured by the powerful Metrons, who force Kirk and the alien captain (later identified as a member of the Gorn race) to trial by combat: the winner's vessel will be set free, while the loser's ship will be destroyed.

"Tomorrow Is Yesterday"
After accidentally traveling back in time to 1969, the Enterprise rescues USAF Captain John Christopher from his crippled fighter jet. The crew struggles to return to their own time, while simultaneously returning Christopher to the Air Force, removing his knowledge of the future, and all record of contact with the Enterprise.

"Court Martial"
Captain Kirk is placed on trial for negligence after Lt. Commander Ben Finney is killed during a severe ion storm. Kirk maintains that his actions were proper and should not have lead to the officer's death, but the Enterprise computer records disagree, showing Kirk ejecting Finney's research pod before placing the ship at red alert status.

"The Return of the Archons"
The Enterprise discovers a planetary population controlled by a powerful being called Landru. While investigating, Captain Kirk and his landing party are taken captive and discover that the Enterprise crew will be the next to be "absorbed" into Landru's control.

"Space Seed"
The Enterprise discovers an ancient sleeper ship, the SS Botany Bay, which escaped from Earth's Eugenics Wars in the late twentieth century. The genetically engineered passengers, led by war criminal Khan Noonien Singh, seize control of the Enterprise and attempt to destroy the ship. (This episode serves as the backstory to the second Star Trek film).

Hello and welcome to Operation 80! I'm Emily, one of your co-mods, and I'll be giving you a little tour of what this fic challenge is all about and how to go about signing up to participate.

The idea for a challenge to reboot the episodes of the original Star Trek had been kicking around in my head for a while, and with exhortation from our lovely co-mods leyenn and raindissolved, I started it up. It's called Operation 80 because there's an episode called "Operation: Annihilate!" and there are 80 episodes of TOS (why yes I enjoy plays on words...). If you join, you will be signing up to write a fic remixing or rebooting one episode of Star Trek TOS into the 'verse of Star Trek XI.

Here's how it'll work.

December 10 : Signups begin. You may sign up for one episode at a time, so pick the one you want the most. There will only be one claimant allowed per episode to start out; after the first round ends you will be allowed to write for any episode you want.

December 31 : Signups close. All three of us mods are participating in Yuletide, and we figured a lot of you might be doing that or another holiday fic exchange as well. So if you want to wait til after Yuletide to sign up, go ahead!

January 1 : Start writing!

February 1 : Posting opens. We're giving you guys a big margin in which to post, because we'd love to see every episode get written for. So if you finish your first choice in three weeks and want to sign up for another ep that hasn't gotten any love yet, you'll be able to do so starting the first of February.

March 31 : Posting for round 1 closes. You may now write a fic rebooting any episode, even if someone else has already written for it.

And we do have a couple of (we hope) simple rules or guidelines for writing your reboot fics.

The first rule is the most important : your fic must follow the general plot of the episode. It might sound obvious, but just for clarification, the central plot point or conflict of the episode should stay the same. IE : if the Enterprise encounters certain aliens in the episode, they should encounter the same aliens in your fic, etc. What they do when they meet them might be totally different than what the TOS crew did when they met them, though, and you should get as creative as you want with that.

The word minimum is 1000, but you can feel free to write as long a fic as you want! Any genre is accepted-- make it funny, make it dark, make it porny-- whatever you want, so long as it follows the first rule.

Your fic can include any ship or be from anyone's point of view you want. Want to write "City on the Edge of Forever" from Edith Keeler's POV? Awesome! Think "The Empath" is all about Kirk/McCoy? Take it and run with it. Just remember to stick to rule #1.

You do not have to consider other TOS eps as canon in the writing of your fic. If you're rebooting an ep from S3, you don't need to worry about referencing stuff that happened in S1 and S2 if you don't want to. All you have to be concerned with is the episode you're writing.

Again, maybe obvious, but you should be writing a new fic for this challenge-- no reposting something you've posted elsewhere in the past.

Simple? I hope so. Any questions, go ahead and leave 'em in the comments here, and welcome to Operation 80!
♥ emily, for the mods.
