I got it. in Whey and Sonic Screwdrivers.

TNG fanfic: Comedy goldmine.

But I needed a hook. An emotional arc. I’ve written about my childhood. I’ve written about exgirlfriends. I’ve written about suicidal thoughts. But there’s one aspect I haven’t written about: my dad.

I can very easily conjure up Jean-Luc’s overbearing, disapproving dad. And you KNOW Lwaxana will pop in there somewhere. Cue Picard and Troi looking at each other and facepalming.

I think I can do this. I still need to do some character brainstorming, in terms of how I will parody various characters. But plot? I don’t need no stinking plot! Nanowrimo: No plot? No problem!

It’ll practically write itself.

Scotty: “Is your chief engineer blind or something that he couldn’t do this?”

Data: “Well, technically, Mr. Scott.....”

Te he he!
