    How far is it over? 1500 means it pretty much has to go right to the action.

    5567 or so... but if I started chopping it up, it wouldn't be as fourth wall breaking

    Greetings, Captains!

    Everyone knows the story of their world’s First Contact Day – when their people met visitors from another world for the first time. Humanity celebrates their first meeting with the Vulcans every year, with events centered on culture and education, and other races celebrate their own first steps into a larger galaxy in their own unique ways. But First Contact isn’t just a moment for an entire species – it can also be a deeply personal event. To celebrate this year’s First Contact Day, we want to give you the chance to tell us about your Captain’s first contact, in a First Contact Day Writing Contest.

    In 1500 words or less, write about the first time that your Captain encountered a being from another world. Were they a child, in the hustle and bustle of a crowded world? Was the first meeting a friendly one, or one of conflict? What is your Captain’s story of First Contact?

    Says words, not characters ... however I also don't think you're supposed to post your story right now:
    May I publish my entry elsewhere?

    During the contest time period, all entries will have to remain under wraps. Once the contest is complete, we will publish the winning entries in a Star Trek Online blog. If you did not win, you’ll be able to publish your entry then.

    End of the day, I wrote it for boredom curing and the prize is not exactly the greatest so it its DQ'd, oh well

    900 words is less than 1500, so if you wanted to submit the story as she is wrote, it should be fine.
