Title: May picture challenge
Post by: mare on May 01, 2007, 05:11:07 PM
Once again I have to mention that this past month has been HELL! So I picked these two pictures, two of my favorites. I would love to see some more people try these. They're a lot of fun and it does help you out if you feel like you're slumping, just to write something short and brand new.

I read all the shorts for the challenges I create. (Not that it makes a big difference lmao listen to me, I'll read it so better write it pronto because i'm the best!  ::) I don't mean it like that.) but I know there are people who always hint that they want me to read their stuff so i'm just saying, these I do read.

 :P

Have I babbled enough? Have I mentioned how bad things suck right now? lmao So cut me some slack please.


Anyhoooodaledo odle...


You cannot combine both pictures into one story. You can write two separate stories instead.  :o

The object of this challenge is to write a combo story. The catch is you cannot write in the POV of any of the boys pictured. It has to be told from one of the other boy's points of view. I guess if you want to make it someone besides the boys you can. *sigh* (lmao just kidding.)  ;)

Have fun and i'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

*drools over all the 'rear' views* I LOVE that one of Frick 'n' Frack! I've got it on tape! Much Music, baby!!!! Lol. That was THE greatest moment! Lmao!


The second pic is hot too - hehe. I may have ideas for it, though I dunno if i'll write anything - I'm in major TMNT mode - lol.

I feel your pain Mare. I too have had a horrible month. (though my car was not broken into so your's was probably worse.) Anyway, I'm just saying that I haven't written anything in weeks and I was kinda looking forward to May hoping that the new picture challenge might force me to write something down because I had so much fun with last months. One question though, am I just dumb? What exactly do you mean by a combo story?

Aww sorry t hear your month sucked as well. Hopefully our May's will be much better!

A combo is when you write a story dealing with only two or three of the boys. Like these pictures one is Nick and Brian and the other is Kevin and Nick.

Basically it just means not the entire group.

Aww I hope you write one! :)
Title: Re: May picture challenge
Post by: Rose on May 02, 2007, 04:03:52 PM
I have the same question Kelly lol. And poo Nick's in both, hmmm if I did this I could do the second one and use Brian's perspective

Yup, that's the thing with my pics lol I was telling Mersey this morning that all my pics are either the group or Nick and one of the boys. Especially Kevin. I have a ton of them.

So if you have pics and would like to help me out with more of a selection feel free to post them somewhere on the board. Probably in the general section.

I am lacking pics. Besides all the avys I made for this forum lol

I saved the Kevin/Nicky pic to my computer - does that count? Haha. I swear, my mind just has not been on writing BSB fiction [almost said TMNT - hahahaha]. I miss writing it. but have seemed to lost that spark - yanno?

Title: Re: May picture challenge

Aww thanks Kelly and I agree I wish more people would write. This story took me all of an hour tops to write.

LOL that's always the hardest part for me too! I think every story I have ever written has had the title change on it at least three times.
Title: Re: May picture challenge

Same here.. I still think "Paradise Hotel" sucks at a title.. but I gave up on that one..

Aww it's not as bad as All I Wanted was Some Cough Medicine lmao I still think I was on crack when I came up with that one.

Title: Re: May picture challenge
Post by: Nijntje on May 13, 2007, 05:15:28 PM
I actually think that was VERY original though.. seriously!

Alright, I posted mine.. With another awful title.. but at least I gave this challenge a try! >

Thank you SO much.. As I wrote on AC, it means a lot to me! Well, it was either "Another whiskey would be nice" or "That night in Ahoy' " lol.. so that was an easy decision. ;D
Title: Re: May picture challenge
Post by: honey on May 13, 2007, 05:38:33 PM
Awww I love the title! Very Appropriate. I think we all have titles we hate. I hate most of mine. This story was beautiful. Really I can totally see that happening. So sad to think about but still, they went through it and it had to happen some way. And you did great with the first person thing too. Well done!


Now,  who's next?   ;D

Post by: Nijntje on May 13, 2007, 05:41:12 PM

Aww well you did great! YAY!! And I am with Kelly, who's next? I think maybe we should start forcing people to write, you know after you write the story you challenge someone personally to write the next one lmao like a duel!

LOL So I couldn't find my muse for Nick's turn. I was going to try the challenge lol. And it SO didn't happen lmao. I did get a story out that's a little inspired by the picture of Brian and Nick hugging but it's all in Nick's POV and not as inspired by the pic as it should be. "I Remember." Ooooh well!  :D lol
