For this month, we shall harken back to the days when a challenge consisted of one word and everyone was inspired to write something truly heartfelt. So without furher ado, here is your one word:
KAIJU!!!
This, of course, is the Japanese word for "giant monster", so your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to have your favorite Trek characters confront the Toho movie monster of your choice. And you're perfectly free to tell a heartwarming story...or, you can just have the monster smashing up Starfleet HQ, whatever.
There are, as always, rules:
1. You have a word range this time. No more than 5000, no less than 3500. Since I like contests to start the first of the month, the deadline for entering is midnight July 28th, 2010. The remaining days are set aside for voting.
2. Canon is welcome. OCs are welcome. AUs are welcome. Anything remotely associated with Star Trek is welcome.
3. However, only monsters from this list are welcome:

No Pokemon, no Digimon, and for pete's sake nothing from Yu-Gi-Oh or Bakugan. Nothing outside that list, which is substantial.
4. Saying you've never seen the monsters in movies is not an excuse for not entering. The list contains all the bios and stats you need, and you're already thinking about what Trek characters to use, so this is a matter of two minutes of research.
You have your marching orders, kids. I want ridiculous numbers of entries, so get writing.
