I've decided to write this up in Word. I'll by copying and pasting everyone's posts, correcting (most of) the grammar and spelling, and getting a more constant "look" - so everyone, when writing personal logs, for example, uses the same format. The only body of the posts I will modify will be to update to our newer statistics - such as the correct deck that the turbolift should go to, crewnumbers (so tacitical, security, and science all will have slightly upped numbers) and dates/times so they are consistent with each other. If you'd like, I'll upload it somewhere. I'm copying/editing it chapter by chapter and will put on all the authors. I've so far done the first page of the main topic, and it is already 9 pages at size 12 font! The first chapter is "Journey to the Tholian Border," which obviously stops when we meet the Tholian ship, so you can get an idea of chapter length. I think this will be quite good, especially if others manage to read it. Maybe we can then get it published and earn millions!

I'm in. We can invest it all into Paramount and take over Star Trek and restore it to it's former glory. And then become rich enough to get away with burning the Killer B's at the stake and get away with it.

I approve of Thorins' endless devoted labours and initiatives, far beyond the call of duty, but would ask that my posts, remain in their entireity, unabridged and untouched.

No one's post will be touched, so to speak, except for corrections in line with the English language

Wow. You are ambitious, Thorin.
Just please remember to take a break for food and water every third day or so, OK?

If anyone wants to be a proof-reader then tell me, it's just for things I might've missed or inconsistencies etc.

If I were going to proofread for you, then my entries would have all been spelled correctly in the first place!

It's a lot easier to spot other people's mistakes - I thought all my posts were virtually error-free until I got it up word! Mikey's have required the least work so far, though

So if anyone; Mikey...!
