A beautiful Vulcan needs Scotty's help (dammit, he deserves it! And he's so nice, he'd make it amazing for the both of them.)

P/C (TNG): Picard has a holodeck fantasy (or a dream) where he is a Vulcan and Beverly Crusher, as ship's doctor, must take care of his pon farr herself because they can't get back to Vulcan in time. (Or substitute the pairing of your choice in the same scenario.)

In your universe, do Romulans have pon farr? If they don't, write a story that gives an explanation why. If they do, write a story that shows the similarities/differences in how Vulcans and Romulans experience it.

Remember that ENT episode with the emotional Vulcans who had been traveling for eight years, and liked pon farr so much that they were trying to accelerate the cycle? Write a story about one (or more) of them in heat. Do they ever figure out how to accelerate it? How do they handle the fact that there were apparently a lot more men than women on the ship-- do the men share the women, or have sex with each other, or both?

In fact, there's story potential in any all-Vulcan crew. Put your favorite Vulcan on a single-species ship (or perhaps s/he has a mate along who's the only non-Vulcan present). Then see what happens in pon farr. Can Vulcans tell when one of their crewmates is experiencing it, and discreetly relieve him/her of duties for a week? What if it's an important officer? What if it's more than one? If a bunch of Vulcans have been sharing a ship for a while, do their cycles synchronize? And then, when every single officer on board is insane with the need to get some, do they put the ship on autopilot and go quietly to their quarters with their mates, or do they have a big wild crazy orgy in the observation lounge? Take one of those ideas, or something similar, and run with it!

How do the Kolinahru handle pon farr? Does it just stop once you've achieved Kolinahr, or do you learn to resolve it with meditation every time? Or does Gol allow visits from mates, or provide temple prostitutes or something? Write a story that answers the question. Maybe use a Vulcan who canonically tried the Kolinahr disciplines, like Spock, or Tuvok (who actually left because pon farr came along and he had to marry T'Pel). Or have another Vulcan put in some time at Gol, and see what happens when the blood fever hits. Or have your favorite pairing discuss the issue. Whatever.

(This one's kinda weird; I dunno if it works.) Kirk is gone (in the Nexus?). T'Pring and Spock are randomly in the same place, very far away from Vulcan, and her pon farr starts prematurely due to something weird on the planet where they are (radiation? Hormones released from the flowers?). Since she's so far away from Vulcan, she can't get to Stonn in time and so, with her tail between her legs figuratively, has to beg Spock to help her out. The sex winds up being a contest between Desperate Horny Bitch and Angry Lonely Man.

Write a story that answers this question: Does being half human (or some other non-Vulcan species) cause pon farr to happen more often or less often?

What about being bonded to a non-Vulcan? If a Vulcan man marries a human woman, will her cycle send the poor guy into plak tow every month? If he marries a human man, will it never happen to him again? (Or will it happen even more? They say that in humans, while the female's estrogen cycle is monthly, the male's testosterone cycle goes on a 24-hour schedule.)

Most likely several of us have had the Spock-visits-the-author fantasy at some point or another. Let's share them, with a pon-farr-desperation twist! Mary Sue can be fun!

The most plausible theory is that pon farr cycles vary, in terms of what age they start at, and how much time passes between. But what if they don't? What if they regularly begin, say, at age 21, and happen every time one's age becomes a multiple of seven, down to the day? That'd be one wild way to celebrate a birthday!

Old, widowed Spock is stranded someplace with Deanna Troi from TNG and needs her help in his time. (They're both half-telepath; maybe this could be important?)

ANYTHING and EVERYTHING where Chekov is the butt of the joke. There are so many Treksmut stories like that, I almost think it's its own subgenre. ;-)

When Vorik went into pon farr in the episode "Blood Fever," he tried to resolve it with a hologram named T'Pera. The doctor left them together, then came back to find Vorik alone and looking satisfied (the tricorder apparently thought so too). He decided it had worked, and let Vorik go down to the planet Torres & co. were exploring, where he promptly went crazy again. Challenge: What happened in the holodeck? Did he have blazing hot sex with T'Pera over and over but get no relief? If so, was it because she was a hologram, or because she wasn't a good enough hologram, or because they were in the frickin' Luau Room from that other episode, instead of something that simulated his home planet? What if he changed the program to resemble B'Elanna (or someone else) and tried to work out his urges on that? Maybe he just turned the program off as soon as the Doc was gone, and somehow deceived the tricorder into pronouncing him healthy, just so he could get down to that planet and get a real mate. Write your take on any of those ideas, or create your own scenario.

In the ep "Body and Soul," Tuvok's Time comes along, and he tries taking care of it with a hologram of his wife T'Pel. If I remember correctly, he's still not cured after one holodeck session, but near the end he gives it another try, and returns apparently sane. What's up with that?? Have they come up with an improved pon farr hologram since "Blood Fever"? Or does Tuvok actually not go back to the holodeck at all, but resign himself to cheating on T'Pel instead? Maybe he gets a chance to fight someone, or succeed in meditation, at some point in there. (Meditation can be sexy too; see Self-Inflicted Wounds.)

No familiar characters, no futuristic settings, just average, everyday 2002 (or recently). Ordinary characters. Then one character reveals to his/her friend or partner that, surprise, s/he's a Vulcan, and is going into pon farr. (Maybe a halfling like Spock, the result of a secret alien marriage... or s/he's here researching humans for later, or whatever.) How does the normal Earthling react? (Interesting angle if the Earthling is a Star Trek fan and understands what is going on.) How is this problem solved? (Erotically, of course) ;-) There are an infinite number of ways this could be written.

Write a parody or other piece of silliness revolving around the term "Prawn farr". (A prawn is related to a shrimp, for the shellfish-uninitiate.)

Or how about...
Pawn Farr: sex involving chess.
Pond Farr: "Ohhh Spock! You are soooo hard!" "Jim, that's a water hyacinth stalk."
Con Farr: someone pretends it's that time, just to get the desired person to have sex with him/her.
Porn Farr: someone gets off on watching videos of Vulcans in heat (or pretending to be).
Pon Yar: pair Tasha with the Vulcan of your choice!
Or create your own bit of fun with the Vulcan term. We love wordplay! (Of course, Pun Farr has already been written.)

In DS9, Quark had a holosuite program called "Vulcan Love Slave." Let's see what it was about! Maybe it involved pon farr.

"I believe I am sufficiently inebriated to be propositioned." Wouldn't that be a fun thing to hear a Vulcan say? But you probably wouldn't hear it, if your Vulcan was being his normal logical self. It would take a case of pon farr, and maybe a case of Romulan ale. Give it a try.

BORG FEVER: Seven years after the events of �Blood Fever�, Vorik has been safely confined to his quarters as he goes through the pon farr again. At the same time Seven and B'Elanna are on an away mission, when Seven notices the previously hostile B'Elanna acting in a rather strange manner towards her. Either in ignorance of what is happening, or in order to save B'Elanna from the chemical imbalance that could kill her, Seven agrees to mate with B'Elanna. Afterwards however, B'Elanna is furious that Seven took advantage of her in that condition, something that even Tom had been reluctant to do. Note: For reasons of originality, this story should not take place in a cave.
