Believe it or not, I actually plan to sit this one out. I'm on what I think is the final act of the Round Robin over at Ad Astra, so I may not have any time to write here.

Plus...I spend an entire series on the task I'm about to set before you.

What I would like to see is this: a foreign perspective on the Federation. This can be at any point in its history, any timeline (though please tag it with spoilers if you give away anything from Trek XI!). Your goal is to show how aliens not belonging to the Federation...think about them. How they might relate, or not relate. Is that attitude positive or negative? Why? That's all your choice! Be creative! Make us feel what it's like to see through their eyes, hear through their ears!

Word limit: 5000 words.

Entry due date: midnight (Central Daylight Time), the night of 30 June

Okay how do you want this. Short story, screenplay (script), excerp, blog... Any format i assume?

Here's mine. It's still a wip, so I'm hoping to get some good feedback so I can make it better.

Nathaniel--whatever form you feel will be the most effective to convey what you're trying to do, as long as you hold to the word limit.

Please consider the revision of "Hope" as my entry due to the jumbled events of the first edition.

My first try at one of these:

Here's mine:

Alliance All-Risk 04: "The Real Thing."

I hope I'll get mine finished in time. It's going to be very close.

Misunderstood the rules. Ignorance is not an excuse.

_r_, considering you were within 3 minutes of the deadline, I'm going to accept your entry...I can understand, if you never did this before, that you weren't expecting all of the code and formatting issues that come with copying from Word/Open Office to TrekBBS. Next time, be on time!
