This is where you should let us know who has challenged you and what they wanted you to write. This is also the thread we will use to post up your stories when the time comes for them to be posted. All you have to do is modify your post that states the challenge and who it's by with the link underneath it.
No chatting in this one please!
Any questions or witty banter etc... should be taken to the two other threads about August. I am pleased to see so many challenges so far. It seems like you guys like this one! :)

This was Rose's challenge to me:
I challenge Mare to write a romance, where the girl is with leading man (your choices are Brian, Howie, or AJ)
As a side note the girl does NOT:
*die
*fall into a coma
*vanish into thin air
*get kidnapped by aliens
*turn into a groundhog (or any other creature)
*spontaneously combust
*sleep through the entire story
*have anything else happen that could make the girl out of this world forever lol
However, breakups are perfectly acceptable
Plus, the girl must be human.
(In August I will post the link to that challenge right here)

Lenni's challenge to me:
I challenge Mare to write a story about Howie & a kid or two [or five-lol].
Rules
- NO killing the kids off, no causing them any serious harm [comas, car accidents, fatal diseases, etc.]
- Must be a happy ending story, because I love those!
- Relation of kids to Howie doesn't matter.
- They must be REAL children! No sci-fi stuff, or anything like that.
(This is where the link will be if I do it)
-
Here are my 3 challenges (lol I had to save em anyway to keep track later)
Mare's Challenge: Rose I challenge you to write a slash story!
It has to be at least 1,000 words but since you don't like the word count that shouldn't matter lol
One of the people in the couple has to be Brian and then you can pick anyone else. It doesn't even have to be from BSB it can even be a superhero if you'd like lol
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Dee's Challenge:
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.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Reb's Challenge:

Honey's challenge for moi
I would love to read a fluffy fairy-tale romance from you. It can be about about any of the boys you choose or a female lead, doesn't matter. The catch is, you have to take it seriously. No wise crack stories about groundhogs or anything. There can be as much humor in it as you want, but it cannot be a sarcastic story or a parody in any way. You have to make me believe you love writing fluffy romance. Keep the story line as light and fluffy as possible! No drama/angst! and of course, in the end they live happily ever after!
-
I have two challenges so far.
1. Rose's Challenge.
I challenge you to write a story in 2nd person. (You're walking down a darkened hallway, the lights dim as they flicker sporadically. Turning your head you glance about when a loud crashing could be heard before shrugging it off as the horrible weather outside. ...etc. for example. like what's used in those old choose your own adventure books) The "you" is one of the boys, and interacts with the others somehow.
No other limits cause 2nd person is tough. Fun, creative, but tough.
2. Krystal & KellyMouse's challenge
Here is your challenge. You must explain in the first paragraph how AJ and Nick came into posession of CB radios. They play with them and somehow drag the others into thier little games.
Rules:
-After the initial paragraph of explanation, the rest of the story MUST be the guys talking in ONLY "trucker talk"
-All five guys must participate at some point. (Some can put up a fight because it's childish or whatever but they all must cave in by the end of the story and end up having fun with it)
-Thier "trucker names" are Chaos Carter, Bone Daddy, B-Rockster, Howard the Duck, and Black Caterpiller.
-If any other person is mentioned in the story, they must be refferred to ONLY by a "trucker name" (ex. if Leighanne walks in the room, Nick could say Blonde Boobs coming on in, make way.)
-The following phrases MUST be used at least once:
-Come back.
-Colorado Kool Aid
-Over.
-Over and out.
-Do you copy?
-Coming in, loud 'n proud.
-That's a big 10-4.
-You MUST go to this site http://www.cbgazette.com/slang.html it has an alphabetical list of CB slang terms and thier meanings. In addition to the phrases above you must use at least one phrase or word from every letter. Other than that, there is no limit to how many words you can use...but, obviously the more they use, the funnier it will be.
Good Luck...I hope you accept!
-At least half of the CB slang phrases / words have to be used in proper context. The guys can mess the other ones up, if you want.
-The actual content of thier conversations don't matter. The whole challenge is about them being knock off truckers. You may want to include the above link, at the end, in case anyone wants to look up the meanings.

Kelly's challenge to me:
Mare!
I know you have several challenges already, but I felt like adding to the list. Just in case you don't feel like writing romance or slash or whatever else, my challenge to you is to write a Supernatural fic! It can be whatever genre you'd like and about whatever you want and as long as you feel necessary. My only requirement is that both Sam and Dean are involved somehow. I'm not too picky, lol. I would just love to read Supernatural from you. You're so good with brotherly relationships. I would love to see how you do Sam and Dean!

Write a humor story involving all five guys. Here is the scenerio:
1) The story MUST revolve a table full of catering and their down to the LAST sandwich.

-
I have been challenged by nijitje.
Leading guy: Howie
Genre: Humor and maybe a hint of suspense.
Storyline: Place Howie inside a psychiatric institution, trying to find his way out. He never succeeds though. He is there by himself, and there can't be any dialogue whatsoever. He might run in to other patients or staff, but we never hear them speak. The reader has to be 'inside' Howie's head, and all we can read are his thoughts or hear him mumbling to himself. He can either have gone a bit crazy or not, but whatever you decide, give us a good reason as to why he's there. Catch is, he is NOT there to visit any of the other boys.
Just to humor me, devote one paragraph entirely to him thinking about carrots.
Restrictions: Cannot be a dream again, or an alternate universe. The guys are the guys etc etc.
Word count: minimum is 1600 words.
If you decide to write this story, have fun and good luck!
I have to say she is evil!!! A howie story? God Howie doesn't even usually make it into my normal fanfics!

-
Sarah's challenge to me!
I challenge you to write a story where the leads are Howie and AJ. Kevin and Nick can be in the story (though neither of them should have more dialogue than Howie), but Brian cannot in any way be in the story, not even as a passing reference. The story has to be of the supernatural genre and include at least 2 supernatural beings (ex: witches, werewolves, etc). There should be absolutely no romance involved, though there can be females in the story. The story cannot be a dream, but there must be at least one violently graphic scene involving Howie or AJ AND one of the supernatural beings. The rest...is up to you and your imagination :)
