This months' challenge is all about ripping off somebody else's work.
The theme is Adaptation.
Your entry should be a recognizable Star Trek story (any incarnation you like) but must be based on a previously produced work. This can be a novel, movie, TV episode, comic book, poem or any other kind of work which has been published.
You may not base your entry on another fan fic by yourself or by anybody else. Your source material must have been professionally published. Also you may not base it on an existing episode or movie from the series you have decided to write on. Which means you cannot re-work a certain TOS or TNG episode. You can base your entry on a different series however. So if you ever wanted to write a TNG version of "Trouble With Tribbles", here's your chance.
It has to be based on a single piece of work and should not be based on an entire TV show nor should there be any crossovers.
Adaptation can be a very loose term and you can give your imagination a free reign of how you wish to adapt your source material. As the word limit is 3500 words you won't be able to do a faithful adaptation of the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Your entry should reflect the source material however, be that in plot, characters, theme or style. Remember to credit your source with a neat "Based on" line or something similar.
I think that should cover it but if you got any questions, just ask.
Closing date for this challenge is June 29th and voting will commence the following day.
Happy writing (I hope).
