Though his name does not appear as one of the members of The Amethyst Library, Trey184 was a great citizen of the Story Forum, from the time he first came in the Golden Age of yore to his unfortunately short-lived return that only just ended. As, primarily, a reviewer, he exemplified the tradition of reading and aiding the works of others that has helped so many members become both better authors and people through their time spent here.

He has now, unfortunately, been hit with a bombshell the likes of which few can imagine but all can understand, and is being admitted to hospital tomorrow to begin chemotherapy to treat pancreatic cancer. Modern medicine can do magnificent things, and I have no doubt that it will cure him, in time, but it is not always easy, and the fight may be long.

Trey, know that you left your mark indelibly upon these forums, and I now speak for all members of The Amethyst Library, past, present, and future, in wishing you the speediest and easiest recovery possible. Get well soon, buddy.

I hate to follow up a post like that with this, but... this is my application.

Name: I am Worf

Story to be ranked on: Blade of Kings- Sands of Harad

Number of STORY posts on said thread: 14 and counting.

Quick find code: 49-50-595-62310423

Additional information: This is actually the second story in this series, but I far prefer this one, and there is enough background information in it for readers to (hopefully) grasp the storyline.

Favorite Sports team: Boston Bruins

Hey, it's all good, Worf; there's always room on this thread for new members, no matter what's going on.

EDIT: Though, it seems to me there may be something "extra" you need to add to your application.

The key thing, I think, for applying to TNG is doing so with the correct story, since they're only going on such a small sample of your writing. I thought "When We Were Young" was the best piece of yours when I read your thread for your application here, so I would suggest going with that one.

Other than that, you'd likely have to write something new or revise one of the other stories to bring them up to a high enough standard; I did point out some errors in most of your stories, so that might be something to go on, if you're going that way.

At any rate, once you actually decide what you're applying with, I'd be happy to offer some feedback before you submit it to TNG.
