The 1001 Story Group Stories
A while ago, Gus collected together a varied group of J/C authors with the intent of writing a story collection based on a concept borrowed from 1001 Nights . But the writers, given that they are by nature competitive and compulsively unable *not* to egg one another on to greater misdeeds, have issued and answered a number of other challenges. It is those which are collected here.

It's done!!
The Voyager 1001 Stories Project is finished!
Not a challenge exactly, but a group story where we all took turns taking a whack of disposing of Seven. Some are quite....inspiring.
This challenge was to re-write the Janeway/Chakotay scene in her cabin in the style of some famous author. Some of responses are quite unexpected.
Blame Mary W. and YCD for this one. The challenge was to pick the sappiest love song you could find and write a story based on it. There's a bit of everything here: silliness, angst, hope--you name it.
A twist on the sappy song challenge. This one is to get Janeway and Chakotay to kiss. Bonus points if you incorporated song lyrics, bonus points of it wasn't in an alternate universe and still more bonus points of you kept the plot anywhere close to canon!
Yes, here they are "dead Janeway" (with one or two dead Chakotays thrown in for good measure) stories--and not all of them are what you might expect…
Bride of Chaotica and the whole Captain Proton scenario were too good to pass up. Stories based on both here.
This time the challenge was to write a story which begins with the line: "I have coffee with your mum, she seems so glad to see me."
A new challenge. Write a story with the title:"Kathryn, for the very last time." And guess what? not all of them are called that!
Proposed by m.c.moose: "May 20th is Janeway's birthday. Shall we try for a bout of birthday stories? I would hesitate to suggest such a challenge to most J/C groups, because I know what treacly dregs it would invite. But with this group, I'd
expect the stories to be unexpected and amazing (judging from past results)."
Christina's challenge: write a story wherein one of the characters takes a "direct approach" to romance.
Another Mary Wiecek challenge:Write a story based on a Beatles song.Come on…how can you resist such a thing? A short, sappy story based on a
Beatles song…or a long angsty one…whatever…
Another challenge from our own Trek pollyanna, Mary W.:
It's been AGES since we had a challenge. I kind of miss them, so I came up
with one. Here's the scenario:
You're sitting on your couch, just minding your own business (whatever that
may be), and the phone rings. You answer it. It's Brannon Braga!
Carefully, deliberately, you bite back all the scathing things you'd like to
say to him, including the snide 'How's Jeri?' because, naturally, you're
curious. What could he possibly want from you?
He says, "So [insert your name here], we've read all of your fabulous
fanfics on the internet and would like your help writing Voyager's final
episode."
Well, he rambles on and on, and you negotiate, and eventually a deal is
hammered out. He's had a change of heart. He wants to put a short J/C scene
in the final episode to reward the J/C ers for their patience and
congeniality. And he wants you, [insert your name here], to write it.
What would you write? What J/C scene would leave you happy when all is said
and done? You'll have to keep it clean enough for television, of course, and
it will have to be a relatively short scene, because the final episode is
going to be packed full of stuff. Assume that Voyager gets home and that
there's trouble for the Maquis, but Janeway stands by her crew and convinced
Starfleet to drop all charges. Or don't assume that - but keep the scenario
close to something you think TPTB might do.
The idea is to have a collection of alternate J/C scenes for all of us to
fall back on if, God forbid, TPTB decide to do nothing at all with J/C in
the final episode.
