    In German we have a saying: Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt (hope is the last to die). Since we'recurrently living through tough times I feel we could all use some hope. So the theme of the challenge for March and April is "Hope".
    It should be set in the Trekverse but if inspiration strikes you for a story set in a different world you can submit it, too. As long or short as you want it.

    The deadline is April 30th, 11 pm CET.

    An idea has popped into my head, though having a few issues at present so not sure I'll be able to get anything submitted, but will work away at it and see what happens.

    So the idea I originally had hasn't come to fruition (it took a more literal approach to the challenge), but I was struck by some inspiration and managed to follow through with something I like enough not to delete and then stare at the blank page for hours.

    So here we have another installment of my mini Mini-Series, Star Trek Orion:
    Hope For The Best

    Your entry should be posted as a separate thread, with a link posted in this thread :)

    My apologies. Could someone please delete my post above? (I don't see a way for me to do it.)

    My hope is that I'll think of an idea for this challenge!

    I deleted it but didn't find your story in the forum. Please post it in its own thread if you haven't already and then a link to it here.

    Is anyone still working on something and needs a little more time (the original deadline ends in a couple of hours)? If so, now's the chance to say so.
