February Challenge-Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing

First off let me thank everyone for reading, commenting, and voting. Last month's challenge was a great idea. I couldn't match that, but I hope this one provides a sufficient challenge.

Since Valentine's Day is about a week away, I thought it might be interesting to have a challenge focus on the idea of love, in any of its forms. So, the challenge is to write a love story. It can be romantic love, familial love, platonic love, or love in some other form or fashion.

The main restriction is that it must take place in a Star Trek universe. It doesn't matter if its the canon universe, Trek Literature, comics, Star Trek Online, or a fan fiction universe. The time frame also doesn't matter.

Word limit is 7000. And the contest will run until 3 March at 11:59 Eastern Standard Time (US). Voting will take place from 4-5 March, with polls closing at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time on 5 March.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Other than that, get to writing :).

this definitely going to be challenging. Not the best romance writer
 
And the contest will run until 4 March, with the polls closing at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time (US).

This needs clarification: Is March 4 the deadline for entries or the end of the polling period? Because the latter should begin with the former, and if it's the latter, an entry deadline needs to be specified.
 
I made the corrections. Thanks Admiral2. If it still needs clarification, let me know.

As for those expressing some concerns about the subject, love isn't all about romance.
 
All righty, I have an idea!

I hope it falls within challenge's specifications, because it's certainly not going to be a romantic story. It's going to be about love's strength but not flowers and chocolates (I really really dislike the Valentine's Day :p).
 
Hmm...I'm unsure if I can whip up something in time--but if I were, one guess as to which "love" I'd be focusing on....;)

I'll see what I can do.
 
I have a series called Horizon's Time. It's about a woman who is somehow involved through out all Trek. The first one is about her mother leaving her homeworld... Anyone interested?
 
I'm not completely sure, but I think that the point of a challenge is to write something new for the given theme, not present something already done.

However, you still can post your fanfics. They don't have to be attached to any challenges :)
 
Gul Re'jal,

I am in the middle of a real romantic thriller and I thought it would fit, so in a sense it is new.
 
Let's not make haste decisions. You could always erase your crimes as a Maquis by providing information straight from the heart of that treacherous, ungrateful, deceitful, perfidious, rebellious anti-Cardassian band of outlaws.
