I would first like to take this opportunity to thank Kazari for the entertaining challenge previously, you really gave us a juicy subject to deal with. Secondly I would express my appreciation and joy for my fellow competitors, you make this lover of the art that is language very proud to know you.
Finally, I want to give my gratitude to everyone who voted for and commented on my story. To feed a Cardassian ego is a worthy cause
Anyway, that's enough of the Oscars, let us away to the challenge!
Your challenge this month, if you should chose to accept it, is to create a fanfic that is populated with only your own original characters. That is to say that the fanfic should not have any canonical personages from either the tv series, movies or trek literature nor can you use anyone from previous fanfictions that you have written before. Also you can't use AU or MryU versions of said characters either.
(Just to make it a little bit more difficult).
The story should take place in the trekverse but can take any form as long as the stipulation above is met. So any time, place or setting (although bonus points will be awarded for new locations
), spectacle and drama is most welcome.
I'm going to set the word limit at 7000 words, not as long as last time but hopefully long enough to get those creative juices flowing.
The deadline will be the 2nd of Janunary 2011 at 12am central time. (I'd rather use a timezone that's beneficial for the vast majority of posters here but if someone can help me get the timing more convenient for everyone I would be most grateful to them)
That's the challenge that I have set for you, any questions, complaints, gasps of horror?
(howzat?)
