In Star Trek, members of the Enterprise crew had personal logs where they spoke of their day, their experiences, their thoughts and feelings... really just a glorified diary, actually.
Since the crewmembers generally spend their days together, then they experience the same things, with obvious exceptions, but they don't experience them exactly the same way.
Your challenge today, then, is to write about a day (or week) aboard the Enterprise, through the personal logs of it's crew. One event told through a dozen points of view, all completely private because no one else can read another person's log.
(Obviously, the first log and involved events will build the other logs events, but since they don't spend every waking minute together, and indeed some go days without seeing each other, there is room for several plots per story.)
Go go go go go!

Date: 2009-07-08 02:27 am (UTC)Long nights in astrogation with Mr. Spock and Mr. Joe (who does not want me to call him his last name which is good because I cannot prounounce it yet) have left very little time for socialization.
I wonder if anyone even knows it is my birthday tomorrow? Will Mr. Sulu finally stop playing shy once I am eighteen? Oh no. Will the captain?
Speaking of the captain, he has sent out a team-building activities survey. On it are such things as "old earth carnival" and "wheelbarrow race/field day." Why do I fear that these are all sexual euphamisms?
I should get some sleep so I do not let Mr. Spock down tomorrow. I miss my kitty from home, Yegor. My bed is very lonely without him.
