I still can’t believe that this has happened, but obviously the honour of naming the theme for this month’s challenge fell on me. So here it is: Dilemma It may be a big thing—like which planet to save, or a small thing—like the choice between tea or coffee for breakfast. And anything in-between. It’s all up to you and your characters. Some rules: - the word limit: 7000 words max. - only stories written for this challenge, no reusing older stories - Star Trek universe, any era, any ship, any crew; no crossovers, though--let’s keep it fully understandable for Trekkies without knowledge of other franchises - only stories finished before the deadline will be entered in the voting poll; not a rule but a suggestion: please try to post completed entries instead of posting separate chapters as they are being written - the deadline is 30th of October 2011, 23:59 GMT. Voting will take place 31st Oct-2nd Nov. - don’t forget to post the link to your story in this thread Questions? Comments? Complaints? Post them here or PM me. Good luck and enjoy writing
A little teaser. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Even When... Synopsis: While having lunch with Doctor Julian Bashir, the ever mysterious Garak regales him with a story of a choice he had to make that could have had dire repercussions for Cardassia, the homeworld he has been exiled from.
I think I may have an idea for this challenge as well... lets see, if it turns out to be something. TerokNor
Looking for a Beta for my Challenge Story to correct time-, spelling- and grammar mistakes. The story is very short, only around 900 words/ a little over 2 pages. If somebody who is a native speaker of English or very good in English has a little time to spare to look over it, that would be great! TerokNor

Ack, I thought the deadline was the 31st. Too late to drop mine in the mix? EDIT: nevermind, just saw that the poll was up. Well nuts, maybe next month...
Sorry I posted the voting thread a few hours after the deadline, but it's already there and even voting has started. I hope it won't stop you from posting your story anyway, even if not as an entry.
