no. i'm dead serious. i had no idea. i don't do the whole ice skating/ice rink thing. I used to watch hockey...over 10 years ago. I don't mean to insult your Canadian sensitivities, Julilly :)

Wow. "I Wanna Drive The Zamboni" by The Zambonis is like our second official anthem after "The Hockey Song" by Stompin Tom. O Canada is just the one we play for everyone else.

Oh my heaven!  I've still got The Outsiders on the brain and once I saw pic #1 I went "Holy crap, it's Ponyboy and Darry!"

Now that I've got that off my chest, let's see if I can actually contribute something this month.

dude, I wrote a whole fic last night for this challenge and when I finished I realized it sucked monkey butts! I HATE it when that happens. It was funny while I was writing it, but when I read it, it just didn't work and I couldn't bring myself to post it. LAME. I actually deleted it. Now I have to start all over. Good thing I have a whole month still. I think I have a new Idea and I might use the piano picture for it. This idea isn't so much funny as sweet, so I'll have to wait till I'm feeling really nostalgic.

grr.... I hate when I write crap.

don't worry, I want to write a good story for this challenge. But trust me, that one was no good... I'll come up with something way better.

It's a simple challenge really. Create a story about one of these pictures and how it came to be. If you are very clever you can try to get all three in one story or write three separate stories if oyu'd like.

~ It should be no longer than 2,000 words
~ It can be told in real time or used as a flashback
~ you can include who took the picture

okay, so correct me if I am wrong...but I read it and loved it and I don't recall you mentioning who took the picture. lol. I would make the assumption that it was a fan, since it was at a concert, but you did make a rule that it had to be mentioned in the story.  :-\

Just an observation. I really enjoyed the story tho!

I revised the rule about including the person who took the picture to you may include the person who took the picture. I didn't even realize I had that in there originally lol

I would go back and change the story but I feel like it would kill the integrity of what I wrote. I'm going to try to include it in the other two though. I think it might be easier to do that in those.

I guess that's the beauty of creating the challenge and having no one respond to it yet. If people had I wouldn't have revised it, but since I am the first pretty much I went ahead and changed it.

So I revised it in your quote as well because I didn't want to confuse anyone about the change lol

Being a Mod sounds rather convenient - lol. :D But glad you changed that rule, 'cause if I ever do get struck by an idea for this challenge, I'd have prolly forgotten & broken that one-lol.
