With the Vote for November's Theme going to a Run-off I'm a little late asking for your suggestion for December's Theme. We have our on-going list of themes to choose from put what else could be appropriate for the last month of the year? 
Also, please feel free to discuss, ask questions and suggest ideas for entries for any of the submitted themes. If we can get a conversation started about the challenge it'll create some buzz and help get the creative juices flowing.
Be aware, the least popular themes from the last two polls have entered THE NEUTRAL ZONE and are in danger of being eliminated from the vote in the coming months.
The Current List of Themes:
Trek Craft Inspired by a Car Manufacturer
In Fantastic Four 2, they introduced the Fantasicar, which was "built" by Dodge, and even contained familiar Dodge traits, such as the front grill and logo. My suggestion would be to create a Star Trek craft belonging to a particular car maker (Dodge, Ford, Chevy, etc). The craft would need to contain visual traits that make it identifiable as a particular brand.
Design Evolution
Show us your design evolution process (possibly just quick sketches) for something Star Trek, be it a ship, alien race or piece of equipment. (We've had something like this once before, but it could be worth revisiting)
Transporter Malfunctions
Duplicates, amalgamations and transmogrifications. Oh my!
Monstrous
As we approach Hallowe'en and (in the Northern hemisphere) the night grow darker, show us those Monstrous things that lie out there that frighten even the bravest space traveller.
The Menagerie
We hear about Berengarian dragons, and Andorian bulls, and Orion wing-slugs, and Terrelian seapods and the like, but didn't get to see them. What do they look like? How big are they? What kind of environment do they live in? Will they eat you?!?
Thanksgiving
As North Americans celebrate their Thanksgiving holidays your challenge would be to put a Trek spin on that idea of giving thanks and showing appreciation for the good things in life. E.g. your favourite crew gathering for a special meal or the shuttle that flew you out of trouble in the nick of time getting a well deserved spruce-up.
[THE NEUTRAL ZONE]
Not Good Enough
Art inspired by unpopular episodes.
I Could Do Better
Don't like the latest redesign of the Enterprise? Fine. Show us what you would have done.
I Like the Old Stuff Better than the New Stuff
Art inspired by Star Trek programmes made in the 20th century.
[THE NEUTRAL ZONE]
Voting will commence ~18 November so please post your ideas here before then.
