Valentine's Day 2010 Fic Challenge!

Postby EntAllat » Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:51 pm

Now that the holidays are over and the Christmas Fic challenge is behind us, I'd like to start a new challenge in time for Valentine's Day ... but with a twist.

"If music be the food of love, play on." - William Shakespeare

This is a music inspired challenge! I've got a ten song playlist already prepared, so I'll take sign-ups this week, then close the thread and reveal the playlist. You can sign-up in one of TWO ways: 1) Playlist or 2) Single song.

Playlist: Your challenge will be to create a fic inspired by the tone of the entire playlist and incorporating a line/lyric from at least five of the ten songs somewhere in the fic.
Single Song: Your challenge will be lottery-based. I'll draw a number and you'll have to write a Valentine's Day fic based on that playlist number's song.

Fics can be any rating, any pairing and any length, any style. That's your choice and the idea here is to have a lot of new stuff for the DE archive on and around Valentine's Day. For those of you in the smut workshop - this might be a great way to practice what you learn. :twisted:

So, sign up and tell me your preference: playlist or single song!

My stories always tend to be longer than I originally anticipate, so ... why not? ... whole playlist, please!
Old enough to know better, but that's never stopped me before.

I really want to shake my fist at you people and tell you to stop giving me more opportunities for fanfics! I'm trying to work on original work!!

So, I would like to attempt the single song challenge.
