Title: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 01, 2011, 04:37:29 PM: Well actually not really. lol but since this is Brian's birthday month let's give him some love.

Create a Valentine's Day themed story with Brian as the lead character.

~ No word limit but it should be a short story, one shot. (which means only one chapter long)

~ If it's first POV, it has to be from Brian's perspective.

~ Absolutely no banners allowed. Let the story and summary speak for themselves. (If it's a challenge story and you make a banner i'll remove it lol)

~ No Baylee or Leighanne allowed.

~ This story can be any genre EXCEPT romance! (There's the challege for you. A Valentine's story that's not a romance.)

Have fun and as long as you followed the rules, post the link to your finished stories in this thread! Have fun!! ;D

Post by: Mariah on February 01, 2011, 04:43:50 PM: The only way to do this is humor. That's all I got. I'm sure there are other ways to do this. I have a feeling a lot of people will try to tackle this one. Great idea. :)
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 01, 2011, 04:45:12 PM: Thanks! Yup, I think you can go many ways with this. There are a lot of genres to tackle. I hope people try it!
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: FrickingKaos on February 01, 2011, 08:27:01 PM: LOL a valentines day story with NO ROMANCE. I might have to try this one, let's see if I can come up with one he he
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Rose on February 01, 2011, 09:13:46 PM: I have an idea....:)
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Sakabelle on February 01, 2011, 10:23:03 PM: Oooh this one will be tough for me! Brian as the lead and no romance?! Gah! I will have to see what I can come up with!
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Carter-Orange on February 02, 2011, 01:16:00 AM: I'll have a go but not sure I'll be able to come up with anything :)
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: carterkid on February 02, 2011, 09:48:11 AM: Mare,Can I use Win a date with Brian as the title?I promise I have an idea without...ROMA NCE
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: RokofAges75 on February 02, 2011, 09:59:59 AM: Are we allowed to kill Brian?

Ha, like I'll actually get around to doing this... :P

Still, I love that it's a Brian V-Day challenge with no romance. Yay for the return of Mare's monthly challenges!
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 02, 2011, 11:35:03 AM: Carterkid yes you can use the title. It's fine by me and yes, you can kill Brian lol
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Sakabelle on February 02, 2011, 12:09:59 PM: I agree, YAY for the return of the monthly challenges!

Can we mention in the story why Leighanne and Baylee aren't with Brian - or no mention of them allowed at all?
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 02, 2011, 01:28:53 PM: No mention of them at all. lol
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian

http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10467 (http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10467)

Brian's a main character - he sort of shares the spotlight a little bit. But, least he's still a main! Lol.

Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Chrissy on February 10, 2011, 01:07:49 AM: Ahhhhh! I thought I wasn't going to do this challenge because I'm clueless when it comes to writing Brian-centered stories, but I guess my muse is just trying to procrastinate updating the next chapter of On Nightingale Hill :D

So here you go! I hope this qualifies as non-romance hehe. Dear Brian: http://absolutechaos.net/viewstory.php?sid=10470

Oh and I was soooo tempted to make a banner for this. Darn you, Mare! I had the cutest idea ever for one, too.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 10, 2011, 02:59:28 PM: ^ sorry, but I know for most people the biggest challenge to posting stories is not using a banner. LOL

Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: luna610 on February 16, 2011, 06:11:00 PM: I actually wanted to go the horror route just to be different. LOL. But honestly, I tried. Everything ended up being stupid. :D
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 16, 2011, 08:46:35 PM: aww i'm loving the variety of the challenges. :) My challenge isn't to write one it's to read a Brian story lol You guys are making this an easy challenge for me! YAY!!
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian

Eh, not for Vday. I don't think I'm gonna be able to do it in time, since Bob only wants to focus on my Nearly Mindless Nick lately. I was originally thinking of homicidal Brian...carvin g out hearts from his victims, serving them up on a platter.

Simple, ya know? LOL
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: FrickingKaos on February 17, 2011, 03:25:06 AM: LOL I actually had an idea similar to that but I couldn't write it...I do love gore but I don't think I'm ready to take that leap. I would have loved to see it from you, I love your writing Rose.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Carter-Orange on February 17, 2011, 06:52:43 AM: I would love to see that Rose! I was going to have Brian as a Valentine killer, but thought there would be too many people to massacre and I wouldn't be able to get in into one little chapter :)
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Sakabelle on February 17, 2011, 08:31:03 AM: ^That would have been awesome! Maybe next year you can do that around Valentine's Day like you did with Games around Halloween.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: carterkid on February 17, 2011, 12:02:02 PM: LOL I know what you mean delphina, people want me to continue my Brian story.So now I'm trying to come up with more.

That's a very tempting idea! I loved writing Games, it was so much fun even though I did kill people off :)

Post by: BSBfan4ever on February 17, 2011, 04:26:22 PM: I'm thinking about doing this challenge after reading Carter-Orange's challenge I'm thinking on maybe doing a horror fic. When I have time I might start on it if I have an idea. :)

Post by: FrickingKaos on February 17, 2011, 08:27:20 PM: Mine was gonna be Brian hacking this girl into pieces and calling the story "my bloody valentine" lol so twisted but I actually am starting to love horror and gore. I blame my ex for that
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: BSBfan4ever on February 17, 2011, 09:15:58 PM: lol I have a question, when you say no LeighAnn allowed, can I mentioned her name or not at all?
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: mare on February 17, 2011, 09:17:35 PM: no Leighanne allowed lol not even a mention.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian

Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: Rose on February 18, 2011, 11:50:13 PM: If anyone wants to use my homicidal Brian idea, feel free lol. I won't be using it, but reading it would be awesome. :)

And carterkid, honestly if you're continuing any story because readers told you to, it's a bad idea. Writing a story beyond it's natural end just because a reader (or readers) request it, just means you're doing it for the feedback, and it usually destroys a good story. Just my view though.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: FrickingKaos on February 19, 2011, 03:14:25 AM: I agree which is why I told everybody I was not continuing it. I meant for mine to end like that to make people think, it was meant to be a one chapter story and that's all. Just because my readers want it doesn't mean I will give it to them.
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian
Post by: carterkid on February 21, 2011, 07:34:39 PM: LOL didn't think of it like that
Title: Re: Mare's February challenge: Win a date with Brian

Post by: BSBfan4ever on February 22, 2011, 08:47:15 PM: I may have a idea from a rerun of Criminal Minds I saw Saturday, that had Jackson Rathbone (Jasper from Twilight) really good Episode, he played someone who had multiple personality disorder and his other personality who was a women who killed people. So I got an idea from that lol :) I'm not done with it, but if any one would like to read before I post it, if I get done with it lol, Which I hope I will, that would be great. :) ;D
