Here are the six entries in order of submission. You may vote for two. The winner will choose the theme for the April challenge. The poll closes at 2:00 p.m. CDT on April 5. Thanks to everyone who entered and may the best "FAIL" win!

Gojirob - "The Battle of Riverside"
DarKush - "Night Catches Us"
StefanSeitz - "Failure is Not an Option"
Rush Limborg - "Too Little . . . Too Late" - A Tale of Captain Ezri Dax

TimmyWI - "Your Uncle's Shortcomings"

Wow! Pretty darn close!

So--out of curiosity, should this end up a tie between tales, will there be a run-off?

Yes, we'll have a run-off in case of a tie.

Congratulations to DarKush, the winner of the March 2011 Challenge with his story, "Night Catches Us." Thanks to everyone who entered this month - we had some excellent entries.

We look forward to DK's April challenge theme.

Well done, DarKush! You certainly earned your victory.

May I say--this it the first time I got a clear, unquestioned second place. Last time, I seem to recall I was tied for second. (Not sure though...it's been a while.)

Hmm...here's to "tied for first" next time?

 

[DarKush]

Thanks to everyone who voted and read. Special thanks to TLR and Rush for your kind comments. I will post my idea tomorrow at the latest.

You know, I never spent much time in this sub-forum until recently, but there was some good stuff here. DarKush, I haven't read any other works of yours, but those characters came through well in just this stand-alone piece. And Rush penned a nice little Ezri story too, which I liked since she's one of my favorites as well.

I've spent a little time poking through old threads and previous challenges; lots of interesting stories to be had. Depending on what the theme is, I might try to write something for April...
