hi i said that i was gonna post mire doodles but then i didn’t LOL well here are the ones i think are worth showing
So I just got my hands on some of the letters written to writers pitching stories for Star Trek: DS9 and it’s pretty cool…
I wonder how many Dax or Odo gets pregnant pitches they received per season previous to issuing that statement for season 5.
[ID: pictures of a letter, the first image being of the top of the letter, with a title reading “PITCH LETTER” in all caps in the top center, “Star Trek Deep Space Nine” in the text it appears as in the title sequence and silhouette of the station in the top left corner, and in the top right corner, text reads
“To: Writer coming in to pitch for Deep Space Nine
From: The Writing Staff
Date: May 22, 1996″
The letter starts:
“As we go into our fifth season, here are some thoughts on new story directions we’d like to pursue.”
In the next image, the letter continues:
“THE DEFIANT This small warship is now a key element of our show. We have enough standing sets to tell almost any kind of “ship-based” story, and we’d like to take advantage of it. This could involve going through the wormhole exploring the Gamma Quandrant or more “mission-oriented” stories given to us by Starfleet Command. (a note on the Gamma Quadrant: remember that although the Dominion is a powerful and hostile empire in this quadrant, SPACE IS BIG and there are many areas that are beyond the Dominion’s reach and that no one has explored.
USE THE SETTING The station isn’t going anywhere, so anything that you’ve seen on screen is going to have continuing repercussions for our people to deal with. Use the backstory – we love to see Kai Winn, GUL DUKAT, and especially GARAK (but they’re expensive, so don’t just use them for a brief scene).
SCIENCE MYSTERIES We want our people to encounter bizarre space anomalies planets with strange properties, space-time distortions, etc. We need more weird stuff! But remember, these stores need to involve our people on more than just a “how are we going to TECH our way out of this?” level. Think of TNG’s final episode, where the science mystery allowed us to look at the relationships between our main characters from a new perspective.
BOTTLE SHOWS Stories that take place exclusively on the station (or on the Defiant) with no new sets. are always welcome. These show s depend on developing complex themes and detailed character work (such as the first season’s “Duet”). “
The letter continues in the next image:
“WHAT WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR
– Time travel stories. We have plenty.
– “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” stories involving paranoia around the shapeshifters among us. We’ve got it covered.
– Quark romance stories.
– Stories that bring back TNG, Original Series, or Voyager characters to DS9.
– Dax or Odo getting pregnant.
– Nog at the Academy.
– Stories about Tom Riker.”
The image in the reblog is a close up on the section of the letter reading “Odo getting pregnant” /End ID]
he sounded like that wasn't the first time he needed to do that
