Creative Rough Draft
Topic: Captain Kathryn Janeway and Q visit the Q Continuum.
Janeway goes into her quarters after a long day fighting the Borg. She wants nothing more than to relax in a bubble bath and then go to bed before she has to get up in a few hours to start all over again. Thank goodness for coffee. As she is finishing getting ready for bed after her bath, her lights flicker, then go out. She asks the computer what is wrong. It doesn’t reply. All of the sudden, the lights come back on and there stands Q. He smiles and, as always, calls her Kathy. She wants to know what in the universe he wants with her this time. All of a sudden, they are no longer in her quarters, but in a farmhouse on the Great Plains. She knows right away that this means that they are in the Q Continuum, the area of existence occupied by the Q. She wants to know why he has brought her here. He walks over to a crib and points in. He is showing her the baby that he made with another Q in the episode “The Q and the Grey.” Janeway is the child’s godmother. Again, she asks why she was brought here. He says that he needs her to babysit, as nobody else will do it. She is furious, but how can she say no to her godson? When Q leaves, Junior starts to make things happen. Some funny, some worrisome. Janeway has to deal with trying to keep the child in line for three hours while Q does who knows what. When the time is up, Q takes Janeway back to her universe, where the star ship Voyager is stranded in the Delta Quadrant. She is finally able to go to sleep.

thinking about creative project
I'm pleased with the paper portion of my project. I think it is done. Now we have to start on the creative aspect of the project. I don't know what I want to do with this. One of the options that I saw was a podcast. I think that would be interesting, but I don't know how to go about doing that and I don't know that a podcast on fanfiction would be all that interesting. I will probably do something else, I'm just not sure what, yet. I will wait to see what options I have in class when Sandy gives us more instructions.
**********
After today's class, I've been given a few really good ideas about what to do with the creative portion of this class. One of the ideas is the use of detournement. I could write my own piece of fanfiction. I think that would be a really fun experiment.
