Kirk vs Picard (KvP) Has Officially Launched!

KvP is a fan-driven storytelling event, powered by FanLib, that invites you and other members of the Star Trekâ„¢ community to write and review scenes for a new adventure around one of the oldest Star Trek fan debates: Who’s better? Kirk or Picard? This is the first time CBS has ever invited fans to officially play in the Star Trek universe at an online fan writing event.

Hosts George Takei and Wil Wheaton will present story ideas that were developed by writer/producer Andre Bormanis, in which captains Kirk and Picard clash. Your first mission is to vote for the story idea you want to write or read as a script. Next week, the writing and reviewing begins. To help you on your KvP mission, you can watch videos of George and Wil discussing their favorite episodes, the strengths and weaknesses of their respective captains, and other Trek-related topics.

You’ll have chances to win prizes for story submissions, as well as reviews. Prizes include a Vegas trip, the new Apple iPhone, and gift certificates to the Star Trek store. If you sign up by June 19th, you could win one of our random drawings for an Apple MacBook or personalized items from George and Wil.

To paraphrase the captains: We invite you to devise strange new worlds, to seek out other creative minds, and to boldly imagine where no fan has gone before!
