tebtosca: (Sam and Dean stargazing)

Come be cheesy and romantic with me!

The amazing [livejournal.com profile] wendy has graciously let me take over running the next round of one of my favorite challenges, [livejournal.com profile] spn_meanttobe! For those who don't know, this is where we take the summaries of Harlequin romance novels and run with them, whether it be a short dose of crack or the most angsty dramatic epic. Fic, art, and vids are all accepted, and the minimum requirements are not large. The only stipulation is that the main pairing has to include at least one of Jared, Jensen, Sam, or Dean, but all genres are fine (slash, gen, het, femslash).

So everyone take this poll (yay ticky boxes!) and let me know if there is interest in another round. If there is, then I will make a post on the comm to figure out dates that work best!

[Poll #1951453]

Now go join/watch the comm so you don't miss anything!

(sorry, not sorry...it had to be done)

Are the summaries provided like prompts, or do we find our own?

:)

When claims day comes, I'll post a huge list of Harlequin summaries and you claim one of them first-come, first-served!

My fic Home is Where the Hurt Is (http://tebtosca.livejournal.com/33480.html) was from the last round of that challenge, if you want to see the summary prompt as an example.

I want to play, me, me!

DOOOOOOOOO IT!

[identity profile] blackrabbit42.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yikes! I just looked at last year's entries... they all seem to be longer fics? I'm definitely better at short.

*goes off to find the rules page*

I probably would not participate, since I am insanely overcommitted, but I would love to have the results out there to read.

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
the minimum is only 1000 words, so you never know! But even if you can't write this round, we'll need all the readers we can get <3

Then I'm definitely in. I jsut hope I'm not the ONLY one who submits a short fic.

Also, I belong to the Connecticut Chapter of the Romance Writers of America, and I will DIE if any of my friends summaries get posted. Don't worry, I won't let them in on it.

Do we get to see the summaries first, before we decide if we want to play? Or do we have to sign up first?

Also, whenever I see JC I'm all 'huh? what?'. Those are my initials :)

[identity profile] quickreaver.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Can I answer "Yes, would love to play but JC still has cooties?"

I've just started reading J2 stuff and this has the potential to be all kinds of nutty fun! I'll bite.

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha us and Jeremy Carver and Jesus. That's...an interesting group!

I'll post a huge batch of summaries and then open up for claiming. It's first come, first served. Kind of like the BB?

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! You must join the shenanigans :D

It's FPF too, not just RPF, so you can play with whatever inspires you

[identity profile] firesign10.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
When does this hit calendar-wise, like if I am already planning on BB and cinema (and remaining sane?)

[identity profile] firesign10.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my quick, what a world of fabulousness awaits you... :-D

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to do a poll on the actual comm to see what is good for people. It's one of the challenges where there is an open month for posting, similar to the Xmas exchange :)

Ah!! Well then, perhaps I'll go for it and try to actually keep the word count down ;-)

Yay! My 2012 Big Bang came out of an unfinished meanttobe story! Let's see if I can actually squeak one out for the actual challenge this time around. :)

[identity profile] cherie-morte.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Heheh. I said you had cooties. :')

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY YOU!! Even if you bust out something short and punchy, it'll be a blast <3

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but my anus is NOT prolapsed so I think I win.

[identity profile] cherie-morte.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone wins except for Jared. :((((

Like I said before, my only stipulation is a Highlander prompt!

[identity profile] cherie-morte.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
YES THAT IS THE FACE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MAKES WHEN YOU FORSAKE HIS ONE AND ONLY TRUE LOVE MARIJUANA JC CHASEZ.

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL there will be something ridiculous like 100 summaries to peruse and then you can twist one INTO a Highlander prompt and I will not protest because buttsex.

*smooch*

[identity profile] morrezela.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It is not a dragon penis though, so... That's kind of like being stalked by celery, no?

[identity profile] tebtosca.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
OK, I don't even have a response to that because I just spit Diet Dr. Pepper on my keyboard. My anon trolls are going to come after you for Celery Dick Collins

[identity profile] rjunkie.livejournal.com 2014-01-09 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, I'm not a writer, but I am very much interested in this challenge happening.

Just letting y'all know.

This hair is some kind of crime against humanity. *claws out eyes*

[identity profile] morrezela.livejournal.com 2014-01-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Now I want to write a fic where Misha is an alien whose dick is a small bunch of celery.

[identity profile] cleflink.livejournal.com 2014-01-10 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
You are, in every way, bad for my sanity. ILU! :DDDD

In other news, why do I not have a masochist icon? What the hell, self.

[identity profile] ashtraythief.livejournal.com 2014-01-10 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, but there are so many awesome Highlander Harlequin novels! *does not look to her bookshelf*

IT'S TRUE. Clearly, at least one of us is crazy.
