    Gotta agree with Will on this one - that story's going to be hard to beat.

    The gauntlet has been thrown down!

    Thanks!! rbs

    Well, we'll just see what happens.

    Incidentally, by reposting this, I was able to spot three incidences of missing/incorrect text in the story, so I fixed them.

    I can't tell you how many times I've been through each scene of STH and I'm still finding grammatical/spelling errors. I'm a great editor - except when I'm editing my own material.

    Thanks!! rbs

    Same here. I find a reader, to listen to while driving, makes many of them stand out. Not 100%, of course. It also helps to know more about grammar than I do. Thanks rbs. I've been trying to apply your lessons lately.

    Question: Can the two characters be from separate Trek series?

    And the thing is, I was certain I hadn't left it out when I wrote it.

    Oops. Sorry I missed that. I advise to mention me by using the @ in front of the user name so I get a little alert.
    If it's okay with you it's okay with me. There have been stories that were already posted somewhere as entries quite often, anyway, so there's no general rule against it.

    Okay... I'm pretty much flattened by the quality of the entries for this challenge. I wanted to offer a difficult challenge and boy did all of the writers step up to it!!

    Thanks!! rbs
