With the rumours (or calls) of Ugly Betty's impending demise, we need to go back and analyse what went wrong.  The poor ratings started mid-season 2 and all throughout season three. A huge change in the writing staff and story line contributed to this, but what exactly went wrong in season 3 in your opinion?

( Contains spoilers from seasons 1-3. Sure, most of us have already watched it but I want to keep the cut for the newcomers here. )

Episode Summary
At Wilhemina's fund-raiser for Tibetan orphans Matt asks someone to be his partner. Daniel hires Natalie as his assistant, making Betty feel unneeded. Daniel finds out that Claire has a secret.

Thoughts?  Comments?  Complaints?

I would like help in finding screen captures or graphics of the transporter effect in any of the scenes from STAR TREK XI. (For more details, here's my original request entry over at st_reboot.) I'm planning to use them for my community, stxi_ficarchive, (as an icon or other).

HEY EVERYONE!! It's time to get collecting!

I'm sure you know how this works so I'll make it a quick read for everyone!

ALL the money collected between now and DECEMBER 23RD, 2009. Will be donated to our chosen charity. LIKE last time, we DO have prizes. Those won't be announced until a little later. But we do have them. SO, please read everything BELOW the cut for details.

Featuring the voice talents of:

( Let Season FOUR Commence )

Title: Begadang
Fandom: Stark Trek XI
Pairing: Kirk/Spock, pre-slash
Raiting: PG (VERY mild language)
Summary: The first of fifty 1k+ word drabbles I'm doing for NaNoWriMo. The prompt for this one was 'Begadang', a word from Indonesia meaing 'to stay up all night talking'.
Author's Note: As true to the spirit of NaNoWriMo, this was written at five in the morning after a few hours of sleep. Any mistakes/wonkiness should be blamed on that. XD

( It starts after the Narada goes down. )

Title: Vulcan Love Slave (Excerpt)

Author: diane_kepler

Length: 2 200 wds

Rating: PG-13

Fandom: Any Trek series in which both Vulcans and Ferengi appear

Genre: Humor

Summary: Vulcan Love Slave, one of the great works of Ferengi literature, has been read by many a young Ferengi in his time. It has spawned sequels, films, and even holodeck programs. Now, for the first time, an excerpt from the novel appears!

Disclaimer: Don’t own any Trek stuff, but the writing style of John Norman can be legally satirized up the wazoo. 

Warnings: Crack-crackity-crackfic. No ideer what’s driving me to satirize John Norman’s writing style up the wazoo, nor to put Vulcans and Ferengi in a Gor-type story. Blame it on my cracktastic LJ friends. 

Fine Ferengi literature this way.
