Valentine's Day Auction A.A.R.

Article by T'Pel Kestra

The month of February has given flight to a few new things, one of which being our Valentines Auction where OTF’s members got the chance to auction themselves off for bids from admirers. There were quite a few interesting bids, but alas, only one could win.

It may surprise most to know that the Vulcans are not as inept in the topic of “Love” (Or Dena-val) as most would have you believe. In fact, ashau, ashaya, and Dena-val are just a few of the words Vulcans will use to describe such an emotional attachment.

So, having said this, I decided to take on the task of bringing you this very agreeable display of friendship and positive affection that many here at OTF share for one another. It has been both refreshing and enlightening, not to mention a bit entertaining. Below, I give you all a listing of the 'prizes' and the winners of their dates. I highly encourage you to wander over to the forumw and take a look at all the bids and see for yourself that Valentine’s Day is not just about romantic love, but more a celebration of love in its many forms. Though you may not have a significant other to swap mushy sentiments with, you do have friends that will joke, jab playfully, and be there for you should you need because they care.

So here are the many people who were willing to put themselves up for auction, hoping that they would encourage bidding on their behalf. Aside from some bribing and wink-wink nudge-nudging, all in all it was good fun.

Continue to take care of yourselves and one another, T'Hai'Lu. Live Long and Prosper.
