For Jim; From Spock
I love you, t’hy’la, simply and logically,
because I know of no other way to do so.
I have loved you in the darkest of places,
as the vacuum of space swallows the differences between us,
leaving only our flesh. I have loved you
eagerly, willingly, allowing you to teach me things
I never knew about myself.
I have loved you in the ghosts of touches,
small gestures in the turbolift—I have loved you over
chess pieces. I have loved you
with my fingers pressed to your face and
your body at warp factor ten.
Frozen as I am by logic,
I have loved you
with the love of a million hearts.
Parted, yet never parted.
Never parted, t’hy’la,—
through life and death
I shall affix you to my every atom.

I am surprised that he let you put that one in...
However, I do like this one. Very nice... and I know what th'y'la means...
More than friend, brother, and lover.
And this would be great you could probably get it printed in a few fanzine editors I knows fanzines.
You write very well. Great job.
*thumbsup*

For future reference, I am female.
This has no smut, only fluff, and I am ignoring all irritation of shipping for this.
I can reopen if you want to throw something (else? O.o) at me.
I just ended every sentence in a happy smiley.

sorry... I didn't know if you were male or female and it seems I always guess wrongly...
And the only reason I replied that I was surprised you let the Vulcan love poem be placed in your contest was because when I asked anything about star trek... you seemed to be turned off with it...
Yet, star trek was mentioned in the references at the beginnng? I dunno.
Glad that you are happy. Wasn't trying to upset anyone. -

Oh, no problem. Despite many peoples' efforts to the contrary, grammatically, when one does not know a person's gender, one assumes the masculine. I don't mind.
No— it's not that... The pairing bothers me somewhat, but I can overlook that— what I do have a problem with reading is smut. (I assume, being a fellow fanfiction writer, you understand the term.) I don't like smut. I don't read smut. That is what I was speaking of. By all means, if you have a non-smutty piece that fits, throw it at me and I shall read it.
I has no upsettedness. Do not worry, my friend. -gives Cookies of Nonchalance and Happiness- -

Wait, I'm slightly confused.
Hi, I'm the author of this, and I haven't been participating in this conversation; so are you saying this poem qualifies as "smut?" You listed in the rules that really mild erotica was allowed... and I don't even really qualify this as erotica. There are just two mentions of anything physical, and they are very mild.
So are you saying you want another piece from me? Or from the other individual commenting on this?
I guess I'm just a little lost.
Thanks

Hi, author of this!
No. No, of course not; sorry. I was continuing an earlier conversation with Trekkergirl. This is most definitely not smut, or anything even leaning towards it. This is wonderful, and you should not change it or enter something else or whatever if you don't want to.
Sorry for all the confusion.
