Title: The December Challenge
Post by: mare on December 01, 2008, 10:53:22 AM: Is a very basic and simple one.

Create a holiday based short story.

~ It can be an original fic or any fandom including BSB of course.

~ It doesn't matter what holiday it is.

~ No word limit, go nuts lol

~ No banner!

Have fun :)

It's a holiday based short story... there's no other rules about what has to be in it. Whatever you want to write.

Post by: MellzBellz on December 01, 2008, 03:05:24 PM: Sounds easy enough... I might just do this one. Is there a word limit? Nevermind lol I am an idiot hehe!
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: honey on December 01, 2008, 04:48:59 PM: I always think the ones with the least amount of rules are the hardest ones to write. I'll see what I can come up with.
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: Carrie on December 01, 2008, 06:21:36 PM: Does it have to be a new Christmas fic or something I haven't posted on AC?

I usually agree with that, but I actually have a good idea for this one remarkably enough. Now I just need time.
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: mare on December 01, 2008, 09:05:53 PM: LOL it doesn't matter.
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: MaggieW on December 01, 2008, 09:11:27 PM: Man, it feels like forever since I last checked out the AC forums. Almost forgot the address *gasp*.

Well now that the insaneness of NaNoWriMo is over, I might actually participate. ;D :D

Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: starbeamz on December 01, 2008, 11:57:10 PM: Julilly? Writing? Pssh. No way. Otherwise, we'd totally have that Hawk and a Handsaw update by now. I mean, it's only been, what, a year overdue? lol
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: nicksgal on December 02, 2008, 12:08:11 AM: lol! That's what I said. :) At least her updates are good when they happen. :)

Mare guess what... my challenge is over 4000 words, just for you lol

Aww i'm so going to miss reading that one! lol

I'm only reading ones that aren't epic length have nothing to do with girls and are about the BSB.
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: julilly on December 02, 2008, 06:23:10 AM: Ultimately mine is about a girl but not in the way you think

I'll have you know, it's real! lol My beta-darling is looking over it first though. I think I forgot how to write, so I'm not sure it makes any sense :P

Post by: fracktrain on December 02, 2008, 11:38:02 AM: No girls Mare,Not even Leighanne or Kristin?lol :p

doh, was I supposed to proofread? HAHA. You're better at the grammar than I am. Though I totally giggled every time you stuck an extra Canadian "U" in there!

And you inspired me last night! I'm about half way done with mine now. Mine's a Nick story and there is no girl! No romance plot at all! Go me! But it may still turn out to be epic length. Sorry Mare!
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: julilly on December 02, 2008, 01:36:30 PM: No, I proof-read it lol you were my self esteem beta reader :P

I only put the "u" because that's the right way to spell it lol

That being said... here it be:

Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: starbeamz on December 02, 2008, 02:03:15 PM: aww, Julilly. I liked your story. It almost didn't feel like a BSB fic at all, and it was really great! :)

As long as it's not about Leighanne or Kristin and it's like "Yes, Leighanne is at her parents house and Kris is in the garage fixing the car." lol :)
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: Rose on December 02, 2008, 02:22:45 PM: LOL wow Julilly wrote!

That said, I thought it was great. Yay AUs!
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: mare on December 02, 2008, 02:23:05 PM: Yay to you for actually writing a challenge Julilly!
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: julilly on December 02, 2008, 02:28:44 PM: Yeah, bitches! Can I get a woot woot?

Too much? lol

Normally I read the challenges and nothing pops into my head but I read this one and I was like hmm, I think I might have something here. Maybe it's a sign?!
Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: honey on December 02, 2008, 02:30:01 PM: ok, julilly inspired me yesterday with all her talk of answering the challenge and then again today when she made me read her story. That being said, Julilly, I totally went the incredibly cheesy/sappy route! (seriously, I don't know that it could be any worse! LMAO)

here's mine.

The Boy Who Lost His Christmas Spirit

Summary. Nick used love Christmas, but over the years he'd lost his Christmas spirit. Then one magical Christmas Eve, Santa changed everything.

Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: Rose on December 02, 2008, 06:47:11 PM: I just got an idea LOL.

Post by: Rose on December 02, 2008, 07:35:53 PM: I blame Mare for this idea LOL.

The Christmas Album That Never Was

There's a reason why the fans never saw a Christmas album come from the Backstreet Boys. This is the story of the song that caused the cancellation of the Christmas album back in 1999.

Title: Re: The December Challenge
Post by: LenniluvsBrian on December 11, 2008, 11:27:58 PM: The ones I've read so far are really good!!!!! If I ever get motivated to write something, rather than daydream/dream it up, then I may be posting one. But I stress 'may'.
