All right, ladies and gentlemen!
First, thank you, Cobalt Frost, for last month's challenge entry--and thank you all, for your votes!
Okay...let's do this:
In honor of the New Year...Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a story with the theme of..."beginnings".
It can be an origin story for a character--or it can be the beginning of a new "time" that your characters will go through...or it can even be an "origin" for an element of the Star Trek universe (your personal universe, TrekLit, canon, or what have you) you want to tackle. Just construct a story with the theme of a beginning--something new, something old, doesn't matter.
Here are the rules:
Word limit: Considering my tale for last month's contest needed the generosity of Cobalt Frost...I will be similarly generous. 10,000 words max--and if need be, I'll allow a little bit over. No lower limit.
As always, your story must be an original tale for this contest--i.e, it can't be something you've posted before, in any form.
It must take place fully within the Star Trek universe. Nothing from other franchises.
Any story unfinished before the deadline will be disqualified from the vote. As such, please make sure that you only post after you've finished writing. Maybe what you write in a later chapter demands that you edit a previous section--and if you've already posted the chapter, it may be too late....
Finally--be sure to post in this thread the link to your story.
The deadline: Sunday, January 29, 11:59 PM, Eastern Standard Time.
The voting season will encompass the following Monday through Friday.
Good luck, everyone.
