well now. I have many many old, half filled notebooks lying around and i just picked one up to do some rough sketches to use up the remaining pages. In rifling through it I came across a few pages of lists. I can not for the life of me remember wtf I was listing these things for. i’m thinking it must be elements of Star Trek episodes? it also sounds like i was trying to come up with elements for a MUD (multi user dungeon)? From the the other shit in this notebook I am guessing it is from around 1996 or earlier. anyway…
Here are a few parts of it:
roguish trader
red shirt
intrepid captain
space hussy
backstabbing traitor
giant space amoeba
dastardly doctor
robot war lord
formless entity
insane scientist
rival species
maroon
genocide
damaged spacecraft
weird genitalia
technobabble
red alert
intruder
doppelganger
space race
right of passage
item:
star saber
space rifle
mind control bug
data jack
antlers
knife of honor
universal translator
tail
recording device
intoxicating substance
place:
space port
captains quarters
bridge
bordello
alien city
nebula
enemy vessel
alternate universe
wormhole
desolate planet

Space hussy…
lol
That is clearly plans for a MUD area!!! And it would be a great one!
Or a TADS game, but I think it’s slightly more likely to be a MUD area.
Old notebooks are full of gold. Or space gold, as the case may be.
You may have a novel in there somewhere, or at the very least, a fun activity for a rainy day. Put the lists in different hats, pull one from each hat and write away!
Or, you know, the next George Lucas. The one that used all those ’30s/’50s serials, invented groundbreaking special effects, invented the Hollywood blockbuster, and *didn’t* descend into craptastical irrelevance just to make another billion or so.
