I would pay some serious money to see an Elim Garak movie like John Wick. Paramount is sitting on gold and is wholly unaware.

Dive into the seedy underworld of the Gamma Quadrant's sewing circle. Elim Garak is forced out of retirement after his precious bonzai is destroyed, the last gift from his partner, Bashir.

We absolutely must pitch this project as soon as possible.

Write a collective fan fic. It will be better than anything paramount could come up with.

You’re probably right, but I’ve never worked on a collective fanfic. How’s it work?

DmMacniel@feddit.org · 11 pts · 35d (1 reply)

I dont know.

Everyone brainstorms the general outline, what needs to happen in a chapter and then everyone writes a chapter, edit the previous chapter so that it flows better in their chapter. Something like that.

That actually sounds pretty cool, short of technical term papers I don’t really have a lot of experience with writing lol. I might be what some might say is overly chatty in first drafts. 😂

I don't think Garak would be that direct. Had three men killed yes, kill them directly? Less so. At least by his time on ds9.

Also, even if he did directly kill them, he wouldn't let people know about it with that amount of certainty.

Indeed, if he killed three men with a sewing kit and someone saw him do it, four men were killed with a sewing kit.

But the stories of people sewn up would be legendary. If he wanted the bodies to be found

Agreed, but this is just me being silly.

He'd use his sewing kit to set up Rube Goldberg-esque traps, like in the film Sew Torn.

He sewed offensive Gorn messages into the clothing of three Romulan diplomats who stopped off at DS9. Because the Gorn can see different spectrum from Romulans, nobody noticed the hidden insults until they landed on Gornar.

He’s a ghost of a old woman with sagging breast?
