Title: December challenge :)
Post by: mare on December 05, 2007, 05:43:23 PM: Hello!

Well since we have a picture challenge already going on for the month, here's a non picture challenge for you. :)

Write a Christmas themed short story.

~ It should be no more than 4,000

~ It should have at least one anecdote about when the group first started out. A memory of some kind about a past holiday they spent together.

~ One of the boys should mention how they found out about Santa

~ Another boy (not the same one who mentions Santa) needs to describe a gift given to them by either one of the boys or a fan.

~ One of the boys needs to sing a totally original christmas parody (at least one line i.e jingle bells batman smells robin laid an egg lol) <-- and no, you cannot use that one!

~ One of the boys should give another boy a 'unique' gift that means a lot to them.

I hope you guys try this one. There needs to be more holiday stories out there!

Post by: MonkeyAbu on December 08, 2007, 06:29:55 PM: Well, Mare...conside ring I've never participated in one of the challenges before, I think you'll be proud of me because I've started my fic for the challenge. Whether or not I will actually finish it in time is another story. But hey, give me credit yeah? At least I am attempting to do a challenge for once. LoL.

Post by: mare on December 09, 2007, 09:02:51 AM: Dee, I was just about to respond to what you said about my one shots but I think instead of hitting quote I accidentally hit delete lmao sorry. but That story wasn't a one shot it was actually a pretty long multi chaptered story.

And yay to you Lenni, I'll have to go read it now.

*Sniff* You did delete my post. :'(

That's true.... It was multiple chapters. :D But I meant that it was relatively short compared to others that are out there... Or something.... :D

I never make any sense, do I? :D

Just Once, A Normal Christmas
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8741

LOL, I figured that since Nijntje has followed all the rules on the last couple challenges, someone had to do it this time...

I followed all the requirements, I just switched fandoms in honor of tonight's Supernatural Christmas... Hope you like it. hehe. I enjoyed writing it.
Title: Re: December challenge :)
Post by: starbeamz on December 13, 2007, 11:40:50 PM: Kelly, you inspired me to write one, too!

"Jingle Bells, Brian Smells":
http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=8742

I'm pretty sure I followed all the rules, and I hope you guys like it!

Huh, this story has officially put me at number 10 on the list of most prolific authors. Wow, I feel so...accomplis hed LOL
Title: Re: December challenge :)

Good job Nijntje! I enjoyed it! Now if only I wasn't so freakin tired from all of the over night shifts I'm having to put in at work then I would probably already have my challenge response finished. *pouts* I want to finish mine! It's half done! *stomps feet* :-[
Title: Re: December challenge :)
Post by: mare on December 30, 2007, 06:37:38 PM: Just wanted to come in and say I loved all the stories that were written this month. They all made me warm and fuzzy. I think I have read all of them and left feedback but if for some reason I have forgotten you, please let me know.
Title: Re: December challenge :)
Post by: MonkeyAbu on December 31, 2007, 12:01:42 AM: *pouts and stomps feet some more :-[* Gosh darnit, I am like this freakin' close *holds up two fingers* to being finished with my response for the December Challenge, even if Christmas has already passed. I must get it finished before midnight New Year's Eve...Grrrrr.. .
Title: Re: December challenge :)
Post by: MonkeyAbu on January 05, 2008, 09:44:39 PM: Ok, so I passed the deadline by five days, BUT I still completed my response to the challenge with a few minor breaking of rules. I totally overshot the 4,000 word count limit by oh lets say 8,387 words :-[ and I managed to leave out the point of one of the boys having to describe a gift given to them by either one of the others or a fan. I know, bad Ashley. Go ahead Mare, slap my hand. Guess I was the major rule breaker for this challenge. But I would really appreciate all the feedback I can get on it. It's my first attempt at writing 1st POV and I think most of the story is pretty dang funny. Then again that may just be me. LoL. Tankies in advance! ;D
