Kirk vs. Picard in Fan-Driven Storytelling Event!

Kirk vs. Picard!

Star Trek royalty (George Takei, Wil Wheaton and writer Andre Bormanis) and FanLib.com are teaming up with CBS Interactive and the Star Trek franchise for a fan-driven storytelling event that uses scenes written by you and other Star Trek fans to create a new online story.

The action starts on June 13. In case you were wondering, this is the first time CBS has ever used the Star Trek characters for an official online fan writing event.

More details follow, or you can let George and Wil explain it all in this exclusive video announcing the event: StarTrek.FanLib.com.

Here's the deal:
Kirk vs. Picard (or "KvP") is the basis for the storyline. FanLib and CBS want you to get your creative juices flowing and pit the two legendary captains against one another.

George and Wil will be your online video "hosts" throughout KvP, and Andre Bormanis (a writer and producer of the Star Trek television and feature film franchise), will moderate and help you navigate as we write this new Star Trek story.

Andre will provide a bunch of initial story ideas for you to vote on. The most popular idea will be the foundation for your KvP story.

After the winning idea is chosen, FanLib will post an instructive "scene mission" each week. Then, you and the rest of the Star Trek community are invited to get involved by writing, reading, rating and discussing the fan-submitted scenes. Based on your feedback, Andre and the event producers will select finalists and then the online community will cast their votes.

At the end of each week, the fan-submitted scene that you have chosen will be added to the story in progress. The process will repeat each week with a new "scene mission" until the story is complete.

Writers of winning scenes and several other winners will be featured prominently online during the event and will win prizes including:

A trip to Vegas with a VIP tour of Star Trek: The Experience
Apple MacBook computers
The new Apple iPhone
Star Trek merchandise and memorabilia

[Captain Jean-Luc Picard]

We already saw Kirk and Picard together in Generations.  :blink

I like both characters.  But I personally like Patrick Stewart much more that Shattner.  I've heard so many bad stories about how he treats the fans.
