Welcome to Force & Federation, an anthology of short stories from the Star Wars and Star Trek universes. We're looking for stories no more than 5,000 words in length that feature no major characters from either franchise. You should feel free to create your own character and insert them into either of those established universes, or to take a minor character one might describe as "recurring" and write a story in which they're the star. Force & Federation will contain an equal number of stories from each franchise.
