May Writing Challenge - The Early Years

Alright - lets give this a shot. I haven't done this since 1974, but I'm willing to give this a go, for the few days we have left. Somebody want to point me to the instructions on how to post these things, or who to send them to?

- Bob

Make a thread in this forum with your story as the first entry. Post a link to that thread in this thread so it gets included in the voting.

And good luck!
 
Cool - thanks for entering!

Some more info about how we run the contests that I forgot to mention before. Once the closing date passes, a voting poll is created by the person running this month's contest. Anyone can vote - it's usually pick the two best stories, but that depends on the amount of entries - and the prize for winning the contest is to pick the challenge for next month.

There's a winning entries thread if you want to get an idea of what previous challenges were.
 
Finally finished! It's aggravating me how long this took to write. And, Count Zero, thank you for not putting a maximum word limit on the contest! I'm not saying this couldn't have done with a bit of judicious editing but I'm glad I don't have to :)

This is a story set before Enterprise: It's not heights, it's depths


Now to read everyone else's entry :techman:
 
Dammit people, did all of your stories have to be so unbelievably good this month? How on earth am I going to pick which stories to vote for?

You're welcome. :) I'm looking forward to reading it once I'm finished writing mine.
 
Just a quick reminder that the contest is open for another 21 hours until midnight CET.
If you're finishing up your story and fear you might be an hour or so late, please let me know via PM. Otherwise the poll will go up as planned.
 
Yes, I'm almost done. :D I plan to enter within the deadline, though. Everything else would look bad since I posted the challenge. Would make me look like former Chancellor Schröder and his fucking Gazprom deal...
 
Alright, the vote is up. Let me take this opportunity to say thanks to the many participants for giving me (and everyone else ;)) so many fine storys about my favourite time period in the Trekverse.
It has been a pleasure to run this challenge.
