Back in the Day...
« on: August 18, 2010, 02:21:06 PM »

Okay guys! Here's the idea for the September challenge.

A back in the day old school fic.

It has to include all the band members and be kept as authentic as possible as an added element to the challenge. Which means no made up wives, girlfriends babies etc... only the real deal.

You have the entire month to come up with the story


No word limit

Short story only (one chapter/ one shot) if you want to elaborate on it and make it longer that's fine too but for the purpose of this challenge, your first chapter should be able to read as a stand alone.

No banners!


The story has to take place anytime between 1998 -1999

Good luck and happy writing. Just like last month's challenge, as they are posted i'll add them to this first post with a link. Don't forget to post your link to your story in this thread otherwise we won't know about it!

:)

Sounds good!  I've never written the real wives/girlfriends, so that will be a challenge :)

Yay! I did 1998-1999, too! Those were their first years really making it big in the US, and Millenium came out then, too :) I have fond memories of that era :P

I wasn't a fan back then so it'll be a real challenge for me but I agree if we're doing old school it should be like real old school lol So I hope the older years wins.

What if everyone just picked their own era to write in, instead of voting on a common year?  The challenge would still be to write a "historical" fanfic LOL.  Just a thought!
