Definately an enjoyable read, there was only one thing I think could've made it better - someone outside of herself and Trip chould have said something about T'Pol wearing nail polish...

*grins*
That kicked **.

That was very amusing. You captured the characters' personalities quite well over all. I thought Malcolm's insistence on making it a personal and professional challenge was particularly in character. I'm not as sure about T'Pol's stealing from her competitors, though. That doesn't seem true to her character to me. Perhaps if you'd explained her reasoning a bit more, I'd feel differently. All in all, though, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Especially the tug-o-war over poor Porthos. Games can get quite out of hand quickly with such highly competitive people involved. Great job. :)

Uh, where's the story? I'm missing something..the plot or my brain, not sure which,,must be the holidays. what do wyou thingk?

Very cute story. Watching them go from "I don't care" to "I wanna win!" was funny. Liked the part when Reed and Trip both went for Porthos.

not bad interesting concept

Very interesting story. I really enjoyed the less than friendly competition. And pairing Malcolm and Phlox on a team was a very interesting idea. They could probably learn more from each other than any other senior staff members. T'Pol swiping stuff from Hoshi and Travis was interesting too: a Vulcan who can lie (on the show) and steal too. Amazing!

Not to pick a fight or anything, but is Trip's accent really that noticeable? It never really struck me as being so bad (but then I deal with southerners all the freakin' time).

Anyhow, this was very fun to read!

I first read this one on the Trip/T'polers site. I found it very humorous, and enjoyed reading it again for a second time.
