5Enemy of my Enemy by Paula Stiles
Calling this a drabble is deceptive--sure it's only 100 words, but it's a finely crafted story in its own right.

Very funny drabble. A great pick-me-up. Still up there with the rest of this author's work, even short and sweet.

ROTFL! Poor Livingstone! Talk about a cliffhanger ending!

Hee, this was cute.

5Enemy of my Enemy by Paula Stiles
When it comes to drabbles, Paula is truly a master and this one is no exception! Nicely tense and at the same time, a stoic Deanna facing off against Commander Toreth. Nice job.

3Cries of the Fallen by K.M. Wilcox
From the title, this wasn't what I'd expected at all, but it was a pleasant surprise all the same. Cute explanation!

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
I can't believe I missed this the first time around! This is a lovely drabble - perfectly sums up Janeway's promotion to admiral from a man who is content to remain as a captain. A really nice 'backstory' to Nemesis. Well done.

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
A Good piece that succinctly captures the friendship between Picard and Riker and the pride in being a Captain.

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
This is a fine drabble that packs three characters and two series into 100 words, and nobody had to die in childbirth in the 24th century, either. Thanks!

2Cat Tale by zoinky
This was a clever and very amusing answer to the any two characters challenge.

3Cries of the Fallen by K.M. Wilcox
This drabble was very cute and enjoyable. I particularly liked how the author played on the title.

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
I loved this little drabble a whole lot. So few people seem to write drabbles in any way that makes a point (instead they make you wonder what was the point of having written it at all). This drabble made its points beautifully and economically while incorporating a mention of three different Star Trek starship captains: Kirk, Picard, Janeway. Very well done. "A Bootprint on the Pants" was one of the few drabbles posted in any year that I can actually remember the content of even months later. I really loved the punch of that last line and how everything ties in so well to the title. This is one drabble well worth reading.

5Enemy of my Enemy by Paula Stiles
I greatly enjoyed this installment in the Snowleopard's series on the theme of payback. Quite a fun drabble.

6K'Vorting Around by K. M. Wilcox
Cute drabble.

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
This drabble does just what a drabble should -- it says far, far more than its 100 words. How perfect that even in the ideal Roddenberry world, personnel are still getting kicked upstairs.
-- Kelly Chambliss - Sun, 23 Mar 2003 17:51:53 -0500

4A Bootprint On the Pants by Bill Livingston
Yup, that's about the size of it. I got really sick of hearing "How did Janeway make Admiral when Picard is still Captain, waah waah", when we all know the point Bill Livingston makes so, well, pointedly here.
