This might be too much work on your part, Mare, but is there any way you could keep track of how many challenges each participant has received in the post where you listed everyone who's doing this?  That way we'll know who has already been challenged more than once and who is still waiting on a challenge.

Because I want to challenge you? lol

Speaking of which:

I challenge Rose to write a story in which the plot is an old cliche. Doesn't matter which cliche, doesn't matter which genre (to an extent). However:

*If you use a leading man, it must be Howie or Kevin, because quite frankly, they need more love.

*If there is a female lead (or female leads) they must be named after members of the forum. And at least one female lead must talk in teenyspeak, if there is only one, then this is applicable to that one.

*You cannot kill, torture, or maim any of the Boys. Especially not: Nick. In fact, you cannot kill, maim, or tortue any character that steps into the fic.

*It is not allowed to be a parody or a dream.

*You must put a twist on the cliche plot, but (and here's the kicker), it cannot be so out of the box. That means:

~no Sci-fi, fantasy, or AU

~No spaceships, aliens, demons, ghosts, Star Wars references, Buffy references, or any other sci-fi/fantasy tv shows you love. None.

~No secret agents. I repeat, no secret agents. NO!

~Nothing that resembles time travel, the Butterfly effect, magic, alternate worlds, alternate existences, etc, etc, etc. If you think of an idea and it seems like something you would come up with in an insomniatic chat with a can of mountain dew in your hand, back away from it slowly.

And that's it. Some ideas I would like to see are: the epic bus crash fic or the girl band fic. But if you have another cliche, please toss it into this challenge. Myabe you can combine more than one cliche into a story. lol

And I don't care about word count, enjoy. ;)

Guys there is a word count to these challenges. Please read the rules. The stories should not exceed 2,500 words.



Sweet!  Thanks Mare... you just made my challenge easier  :P

*stomps feet and pouts* NOOOOOOOOOO ASHLEY!! :(

How's this: you can't challenge me UNTIL you post an update for ITNC. ;D

Same goes for Kristal: you CAN'T challenge me UNTIL you post an update... make that TWO updates for Protection.

*glances at Mare* I would get started on Mare, but she's my best friend at the moment. ;)

Rose... I gotta think of a good one for you... *whips out a chair for Rose to sit on* Tell me... what genres/kinds of stories do you loathe (besides slash)? *pushes a plate of ooey gooey warm chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of cold milk towards you; pulls out Nick and brandishes him off* ;D

Honestly I only hate slash.

But I found my way around that through Dee. Who I now love lol.

But if I can find a way to write the slash, I'll do it to say I did haha.

Though Dee nailed it very well too. I'm not big on cliche. I'm very anti-cliche. I love going outside of the box and she's trapping me in it lol.

Alota,

Your challenge is to write a sci-fi story. Other worlds MUST be involved. The story MUST be about Howie and Kevin. No Nick, No AJ, No Brian. The story must take place in the very distant future. Nothing during the 2000's.

The story must be in 3rd person. Omniscent 3rd person POV.

No real people other than Howie and Kevin are allowed to be involved.

The story must include some kind of alien named Bob.

The story must be at least 2000 words.

This can not be a dream.

Have fun! :)

This is purely for the fact I love sci-fi and want more of them lol.

You're lying! There's gotta be more!! Lol. If Dee has got you "kinda" stumped (even though you found a loophole), and I'm not sure if you're gonna go through with Mare's slash challenge, what the hell could I possibly do to challenge you?!? Lol.

*does a jig* Kristal's got a cha-llenge, and it sounds pretty hard, and she's gotta create an alien named Bob... ;D
