Dreams in Fiction

AUGUST BABIES!!!

Fill out the form and post comments to this post for your very own birthday fic:

Genre: [romance, sci fi, horror, action, comedy, etc.]

Fandom: [anyone you want...ANYONE, doesn't have to be a musician either]
Pairing: (optional)

Rating: PG, PG-13, R, NC-17

If you think your suggested fandom is obscure or someone I might not know tons about, post pics and/or links to sites so I've got something to base the fic character on.

If you want the character to be paired with you, I'll need a first name and a brief physical description to go alone with your request.

Readers Challenge Suggestion

Any reader (you don't have to have a LJ account to suggest) can challenge me to write ANYTHING at all. You can challenge me to write anything. Really. Challenge me to a weird pairing. Challenge me to re-write the way some chapter or ficlet went. Whatever you come up with. And it can be any genre, any pairing, any fandom. I'm looking for the challenge here, folks. ;)

Only don't challenge me to write a really long something. Because the last entries of Around the Bend, which collectively are about 50 pages, 10 point font, took at least 5 days to write. And then I wouldn't be able to write anything else!

---

Make sure when you post a comment to put in the comment's subject what you're submitting, whether it be for a birthday fic (which you need to include the birthdate as well) or a readers challenge fic. This will help me figure out what exactly it is you're replying about if all you put is the form.

Comments are screened so no one can steal ideas for anyone else. But that still means you should comment!

Here's where you get to decide what I'm going to write. It can be anything, anything at all (okay, minor restriction, no asking me to write something really long. Have to have time for other writings, right?). You can challenge me to write about cartoon characters, movie stars, pop stars. You can challenge me to pair up some weird people (Little Bo Peep and Marilyn Manson? Sure!). You can challenge me to write in a different voice, a different tense. Whatever you think of, post it here.

Some basic guidelines I'll need:

Fandom/Pairing:
Genre:
Rating:
Additional info:


So have at it. I dare you.



All comments will be screened. So you guys can't go around seconding and thirding other people's ideas. :P If I need more info to write, I'll let you know. Which means be sure to include an email address I can contact you for more info.

A little change. I'm going to do this every other week, not weekly. I'm not getting challenge suggestions. Just once a week. :P So now we'll be doing it every other week.
