Jul. 21st, 2023 10:10 pmI will be facilitating a reading room discussion (or trying to) on Friday, 28 July. The subject of the discussion will be Free Trader by Debra Hicks, a Star Trek TNG crossover AU. The fic has 26,454 words. Please read it this week if you want to participate in the discussion.

I did think of that after making the poll, and I feel a little bad about the outcome. It looks to me as if the actual TNG characters only appear in this fic fairly briefly, though, if that helps.
I think that next time, if we are choosing from my pool of Lifetime Bingo fics again,* it would be better to use a poll with multiple choices allowed and the prompt "I would be content to read...." That will be more likely to produce a tie, but will make it less likely that someone will be unhappy with the outcome.
* (This would be my preference, since for better immersion, I've been avoiding reading fics not part of my Lifetime Bingo game. I feel kind of weird about having that much power over selections, though.)
