So, as some may know, I'm currently launching this Challenge thingimagie-business.

My beloved bride Thread of Life adviced me to advertise it on the forum. As my manager (i just decided that on the spot) i decided to follow her advise. So, slash authors, let's all give a great kick up the muses' asses. Here's the October Challenge:

October Challenge

Theme is ‘he who angers you conquers you’. A and B meet. Can’t stand each other (for whichever reason you chose). They end up together (in whichever way you chose). How do they move from nemesis to lovers? You tell me :)

MUSTs

Both main characters must be over the age of 18.

Must use the words: thesaurus, Kaleidoscope, arithmetic, dusky, iridescent and question.

One character must say: “You only said that because right now, you’re feeling very small inside!” (by the way, I forgot to say this in the first challenge: but you may change the punctuation of the quote if you wish so.)

MUST BE SLASH (like I need to say this)

At some point in the story, one of the MCs must do something very immature/stupid/embarrassing.

NO-WAYs

No dates: no characters can go on date, ask someone on a date, mention a date, suggest a date, etc. If you want your characters to meet up somewhere, make it imaginative and completely un-date-like.

No High School romance, unless it involves two teachers. This time around, teens are banned from this challenge.

Enjoy! :)

JOIN IN EVERYONE!! IT'LL BE FUN! :)

Changing genders is fun!!

Anyways, I wasn't going to ask you this, but since you're here and everything, I may as well.

Would you consider a drunken writing of "LOL ILU" and then a phone number on someone's chest be an obvious mention of love by a character? The whole ILU thing... Haha.

Hmmmm...i woudn't think so, no. You may keep going ;)

Out of curiousity and well, necessity, what is the exact due date?

23rd of September :)

I am officially participating :P (despite the fact that I have a story that only needs one more chapter to be done, plus its sequal and a story my sister requested of me)

I want to try it. But at the same time I'm pretty positive that I'm going to end up not doing it. xD

Two questions:

Was there anything about wordcount?

No mentions of love... Does that also mean no mentions of the lack of love as well?

1) Nope, no wordcount. It may be as long as you wish so long as it's presented as a oneshot.

2) I wouldn't think so, no.

Good luck, can't wait to read what you come up with. You can't understand how happy i am your participating. You made a fan happy :')

I'm not guaranteeing (holy **... I spelled that correctly on my first try...) anything unfortunately. I'm currently in the middle of writing a birthday story and I has five tons of homework.

But it's hard to pass up a challenge. u_u That's my competitive nature peeking out again.

:wiggles:

interesting.

I'm always looking for things to make me want to write... I might try my hand at this.

Fine. being a student myself, i understand your pain.

Final deadline is the 25th of September, but no further than that.

You better hand something in, now, though. Otherwise, the price shalt be paid in thy blood.

(*pervert inner monster: kinkiiii!*)

To SerialxLain: disappoint the fans and the fans CUT. I know where you live *stalks*

Bring it on, sweetcheeks. The pain. I like it. ;D

(Do you really know where I live? o.o :looks out window: )

I so have a plot now (sort of), and two notebooks pages of words. (Which isn't much once on the computer, but I'm choosing to ignore that.)

Sweeeeet.

Yaaaayyye!!!! ZOMFG I AM SO EXITED I CANT WAIT TO READ WHAT YOU COME UP WITH AND OMG OMG OMG I THINK I'VE GONE INTO FULL-FANGIRL-MODE AND I'M FREAKING MYSELF OUT!!

*glomps you*

*doesn't let go*

I'm, so, totally, like, exited.

I could die :')

*happiness*

o.o Holy ego-boost.

Wow, Lain, it seems like you've given Freak the WILL TO LIVE!

I'm working on the story too, by the way. As long as I don't get distracted by Let's Play Majora's Mask again.

Yes, I'm a professional Egobooster(tm). You can buy me on Amazon or Ebay, i come fully packaged and wil last you a lifetime. I don't even need batteries, as i feed on my owner's wonderfuloveliness.

:3

Miss Mysty- Yes, you people give me the wil to live. Without my FP idols/bunch of two or three loyal fans, i have NOTHING!!

*weeps*

LET NOTHING DISTRACT YOU FROM THIS! LET THIS BE THE REASON YOU WAKE AND EAT! SLAVE AT WRITING THIS ONESHOT AND I SHALL LOVE YOU FOREVER!

If you don't.......*Anthony Hopkins-style stare*

Neve underestimate the powers of disappointed hopes.

I kinda want to do this challenge...as opposed to finishing my homework that i can't get my head around. Seems a bit more funsies but I havent writted a one shot in a long time... Ah, sweet procrastination!

Oh, this could be fun. (As I come out of no where to join in) I've never written a one shot though. Maybe I'll try it.

You're magical then...! :o

Yes, yes I am. So very magical that you are the second person to say that today. :)

So I totally know almost exactly where I'm going with my story. It makes me happy :)

ZOMFGWTFYAYE!! I'm happy too!! Let's make love!! I can't wait! The stars in my eyes are reflecting on the computer screen and it DAZZLES, my friend!! *huggle of deathly happiness*

"totally almost exactly"

I like that :3

Hee hee. I'm glad I could make you so happy. Are you going to be like this every month, though?

Like what? Happy that people are participating? Hellz YEARGH BABEH!

Well, actually, i guess it depends on how many entries i get this time around. If by the end of the month i realise that all the people who said they'd write a response don't send one, i'll probably end up bitter and cynical...and won't go for another round. If they DO, however........plenty of juice for my enthusiasm batteries ^_^

Try me!

*attempts participation*

The ultimate question: does it really have to make sense?

Not that either of us could tell the difference anyway...

hopefully it doesn't.

Sense is for people with no imagination.

Why would we need sense in fiction when reality is already saturated with the stuff?

:)

Modifying a quote about World of Warcraft that I saw on GaiaOnline:

Writing is a good thing/bad thing in itself. The good thing is that it's fun. The bad thing is that it devours your soul. But who needs a soul, amirite?

Ooh, this thread is starting to reek with wisdom!

...wisdom is hot. Wit turns me on :9 i know not why.

Yes, you are right? Who needs a soul when you have the spirit of writ possessing your body? FLIP THE SOUL, GIMME A SEXY MUSE ANYDAY!! :3

PS- Miss Mysty, i've been meaning to tell you this for ages but somehow always manage to forget: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR! IT IS OF SILVER AND APPLE FLAVOURED HARD BOILED SWEETS AND THINGS NICE AND PRETTYFUL. I IS LOVE IT. IT LOLz MY SOUL INTO HAPPINESS.

Hee hee, I actually found it on the Anti-Shur'tugal LiveJournal community and yoinked it. I can't remember who it originally came from.

My avatar before this was actually one that someone made for me. It was from a really crappy Kingdom Hearts yaoi fic that I sporked. In said fic, the self-insert character is like "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Mansex. That's rich."

:prods my story:

Excessive angst... It may have eaten it. But I can't tell. It's like I've grown immune to it. Or worked up a tolerance.

Angst is my heroin. ;-;

--

:sings: Severin! Severin! Speak so slightly! Severin! Down on your bended knee...taste the whip in love not given lightly! Taste the whip now bleeeeed for me. Haaaa. :sways:

That was a random Lain Likes Lyrics moment.

Miss Mysty: don't worry, most of my wisdom was yoinked off random website/people too. It's no big deal. The yoinking makes us strong.

MANSEX! WHY MUST YOU MENTION MANSEX! I GO INTO WITHDRAWAL!.........I need my dose now. All because you said the word....T-T

By the way, if you know anyone who does avatars, or anywhere i can get avatars from, let me know. I'm too lazy to make my own avatar but i need one...(i'm such a disgrace to the art students community T-T)

To SerialxLain: worry thyself not, my sweet. The angst lives in every writer's heart. All of us, we're all nothing but angst-suckers. All of us, no matter how much we deny it, we're GAGGING for the angst.

Keep going. KEEP GOING. NEVER GIVE UP! OR I WILL EAT YOU WITH WARBURTON BREAD AND SALMON SPREAD!

Doooone.

Now just trying to figure out a title, and whether I should post it or e-mail it. HRM.

OMFGSTFULOLZWTFOMFG ARE YOU SERIOUS???

omg

omg

omg

i'm so happy T-T I dont deserve such happiness T-T

It's kind of lame. But I like it.

Maybe I'll post it. D:

I JUST DUNNO.

Gahh Katy! Why are you so fast!

Or well, why am I so incredibly lazy? :/

It's short. Only 1,284 words long. So don't feel bad. :offers pats:

SerialxLain: Post it, so i can put up links for all the repsonses (some people asked for 'em)

omg omg omfg omg i'm so exited :')

Thread of Life: lazyness, my friend, is an art. It is a way of life, it is a CHOICE.

It is a cult to which i dedicate my life *creepy sect-like behaviour*

It's my goal to write today! I just have a load of homework and this movie I have to finish watching... :/ I only have 200 words so far too. I used to have more, but the characters weren't being realistic so I started over and tried to make it more interesting. I hope it turns out good. I'll finish it regardless of whether or not I make the deadline, and dedicate it to YOU Freak because you once said no one ever dedicates stories to you. I SHALL BE THE FIRST!

Freak: I actually make some basic avatars myself. Nothing really fancy, just avatars with quotes that I find amusing.

OMG, my story is becoming a behemoth. I originally just meant to have this one scene, but it suddenly was all like "NUUUU, there's more to it!". I'm not sure if letting my writing be in charge of me is very healthy.

Thread of Life: oh my God. you actually paid attention to my whining. AND you decide to act on it. Oh my God. Why am i not living with you and sleeping in your bed? what is wrong with this world that i cannot share the same breathing space with my soulmate? *weeps* LET'S ELOPE!!! FOR I LOVE YOU MORE THAN I LOVE THE HOWARDxVINCE PAIRING FROM THE MIGTHY BOOSH (i.e.: a LOT)

Miss Mysty: oh ye of the craft of avatardom....why? WHY? HOW DO YOU DO IT? HOW DOES THE MAGIC WORK? T-T

ZOMFG A BEHEMOTH? I'm totally definiely LUVIN' the sound of that :3 go for it sugarcheeks

WHAT IF I DEDICATE MINE FIRST!?!?!?

Actually, I won't. I only do that for birthdays. xD

Well, my birthday is on February. I can wait ):D

Ha ha, just joking.

Wait, so, hang on: just because it's my birthday i can get you to dediate me something? or do i have to carve your name into a rock a the top of mount everest or something to earn the right? :D

Oh no you DIDN'T!

I almost had to kill you there Katy. That would've been unfortunate.

Your birthday's in February Freak? So is mine... maybe we're twins, seperated by birth...

Well! The movie I was watching just started skipping and now I am forced to write! Damn library movies.

ZOMFGOSH REALY? WHICH DAY?

WRITE AWAY LIKE THE SLAVE YOU ARE, **!! *ultimate seme smirk*

(What was the movie you were watching by the way?)

Freak - Generally if I'm friends with someone on FP, and they hint about it (or for some people it's just understood that I'll do it), I'll write them a fic about whatever they want. So butter me up and I can make your fantasies come true. ;)

Daniel - Oh, I did. Almost.
