Default A couple things to share.

Thought I'd throw these out there... These are my "Strange New Worlds" entries that DIDN'T make the cut.

"The Infinite Perfectionist" - A Borg steps through the Guardian of Forever, shattering and rewriting time into a massive jumble, and only Q, Guinan and a bartender who should be a starship captain named Christopher Pike can put things right.

"The Kobayashi Maru Melancholy" - Geordi La Forge's desperate quest to revive his dead android friend leads him to make questionable moral choices. Is it alright to kill one unique life form to save another?

"Russian Roulette" - The Enterprise is disabled orbiting a planet embroiled in a dangerous cold war. Her engines could overload at any moment, vaporizing one side of the planet, or the other.

"Wagon Train" - In the old West, Army Captain James T. Kirk, Spock, Doc McCoy and the rest of the fighting 1701st try to protect a mining town from a gang of raiders led by a vicious thug named Kang

Yes. His short story about a forbidden relationship between two Klingon men called "Brokeback Bat'leths" made it through in the adult category.

Heh.

I didn't last year, but the year before I did. It was a story about Zefram Cochrane during World War III. Third place; a sweet $1000 bucks.
