He's A Rebel
by The Crystals

See the way he walks down the street.
Watch the way he shuffles his feet.
My, he holds his head up high when he goes walking by.
he's My guy

When he holds my hand I'm so proud
Cuz he's not just one of the crowd
My babys always the one to try the things they've never done

Just because of that they say

He's a rebel and he'll never never be any good
He's a rebel cuz he never never does what he should
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me
Always treats me tenderly
Cuz he's not a rebel nonono
He's not a rebel nonono
To me

If they don't like him that way
they won't like me I'm sure today
I'll be standing right by his side when they say

He's a rebel and he'll never never be any good
He's a rebel cuz he never never does what he should
Just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me
Good to him I'll try to be
Cuz he's not a rebel nonono
He's not a rebel nonono
To me
oh
nonono
nonono
nonono
oh
nonono

90 SECOND ALPHABET CHALLENGE

Challenge 2 - 90-Second Alphabet: The 90-Second Alphabet is a game on Whose Line is it Anyway. There would be no time limit on a fic though. The idea is for the characters to have a dialogue where the beginnings of their sentences go through the letters in alphabetical order. (ie: first person's sentance starts with a, second's with b, first's with c and so on) Usually is not starting with the letter A. (for those who watch Whose Line, hopefully it makes sense).

A GHOST FROM THE PAST CHALLENGE

Established couple: your couple have been lovers for however long you wish.Now someone from the past appears with the intent to restake his/her claim. Can be a stalker fic, but I want the newcomer to be dark, dangerous and determined....

*

A KISS ON THE LIPS CHALLENGE

Your characters relationship is publicly outed by one of the partners (and yes this can be a woman outing her man...just means the relationship was a secret, is all) either after being in an accident where he/she isn't thinking straight, or cuz he/she is drugged or drunk, intentionally or not. The partner should have a negative first reaction to having their relationship exposed...Extra points for exposure through a kiss or other intimate contact, but I would like to see a happy ending...Angst is good, but the comfort makes the world all better. (I've read one like this but lke chips, its left me craving more of a similar ilk...)

*

ACCIDENTS CHALLENGE

AN AU CHALLENGE: THE HITMAN AND THE VICTIM


This is total AU. Recently read a snippet from long ago that had set the characters as a hitman who has taken a contract to hit the other. It's a first time/just met kind of challenge... Would like to see the Alpha of the couple be the hitman, the beta the contract... In the challenge, the hitman takes his vic captive for whatever reason, and the vic offers his/her body in exchange for freedom. Want to see mild resistance, very eager encouragement from the vic sways the determined hitter. You can take it from there.

He (or she) can either be in a relationship with an abusive (yes, there are abusers who use BDSM as a cover for thier nastiness) partner, and his supposed friend intercedes with a declairation of his/her own or he can already be in an established *vanilla* relationship with his partner of choice but now finds that the lack of rough play is stalling out the relationship.

*

BECKY'S LIGHT BULB CHALLENGE

Two characters either accidentally or on purpose take hallucinogens and decide to screw in a light bulb. And I don't mean like changing it. Everything else is up to you.

*

BEST WAY TO END A FIGHT CHALLENGE

(Two women were at a bar. One looked at the other and said, "You know, eighty percent of all men think the best way to end a fight is to make love."

"Well," said the other woman, "that will certainly revolutionize the game of hockey!")

The other partner challenges the kidnapper for his friend/lover...offering to take his/her place if he loses... You take it from there...

*

BUILDING A BETTER RELATIONSHIP, RENOVATING YOUR LOVE

Your characters are building or restoring something. It can be anything from building their own rural retreat to repapering the hall closet.

CHOCOLATE FACTS OF LIFE CHALLENGE

Chocolate Facts Of Life Challenge. Just a little spin on the casual chocolate syrup challenge. One of your characters is possessed by a sudden all-consuming craving for chocolate, in all its variations, and using his/her partner as a canvas demonstrates the different and various forms of the delicacy...

CREED'S OPEN AIR INSANE ASYLUM CHALLENGE

I have this poem I wrote and I really think that it can bring about a good plot bunny. I just can't nail one of the little bastards to the wall. I could use some help. Ya it's dark, I wrote it myself. I was just thinking and well...it's exam time and I want something to play with when I'm done my papers.Help me, the voices won't leave me alone. I'm open, but I lean towards alternative fic with Jim topping. Maybe a slave fic? Or Jungle Jim?

open air insane asylum
written By Creed Cascade

bars wrap around the preverbal human soul
trapping one's inner shadow so that it cannot see
beyond its own boundaries

locked up, shut down and cowering in a dim corner
you see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil
ignoring the big bang melting into a whimper

swallow your tendency to prejudice in murkiness
concentrate rather on desire, hunger and passion
dooming yourself to welcome the vulgarity

licked by the hallowed flames of hell
the mind's eye worries about burning its own flesh off
after beholding things best left unsaid

closed minds are happy minds in this open air insane asylum
denying the ramblings of others only to hear
the inner murmuring of a complacent lunatic

*

CROSS OVER BOOK CHALLENGE

I happened to spot a book lying on the table to day and have had Blair in a plot with the POV character of the book....so that's my challenge. Pair your favorite boys with you favorite book character. I'm hung up on Mack Bolan of the executioner. Hot thoughts character of the book....so that's my challenge.

DRIVE YOUR ROOMMATE CRAZY CHALLENGE

Set up the playful one in your pair as a prankster trying to bonker out his partner. Here's the list that inspired the challenge. You can use as many, as few or create some ways of your own for the wild one to torment and tease his/her lifemate:

HOW TO CONFUSE YOUR ROOMMATES

1. Sit up. Say "time to make the doughnuts." Leave. Do this often.
2. Every five minutes, get up, open door, peek out, close door, and look relieved.
3. Name your socks.
4. Express an extreme fear of sunlight. Move away from and flinch at any areas of the room that are sunny.
5. Pick up the phone every five minutes and say "hello." Look confused and hang up.
6. Answer the alarm clock when the phone rings and vice versa.
7. Try to make meals using your roommate's electric blanket.
8. Hang your posters upside down.
9. Unwrap a candy bar. Throw the chocolate away. Eat the wrapper. Smile.
10. When listening to the radio, sing along with different lyrics and a different tune.
11. Address your roommate by a different name each time you talk to her/him.
12. Speak in limericks.
13. Announce "nature is calling." Run for the phone. Answer it.
14. Seal an envelope. Write a letter. Complain loudly that you cannot get it into the envelope. Discard and repeat.
15.. Aerate your underwear drawer. Claim "they" are not getting enough oxygen.
16. Constantly drink from an empty glass.
17. Respond to your roommate's questions with unrelated answers.
18. Every time you handle something of your roommate's, use a tissue or gloves.
19. While unlocking your door with the key, complain that the engine won't start.
20. Name your animal crackers. Mourn them after you eat them.

My first thought was this would make a perfect foil for Mad Murdock to torment the big man in gold, but that would be easy..Who would you choose to do the prankstering and why?

*

DRUG ADDICTION

Do a story that have one or more of the characters under the influence of drugs. Any fandom, and the drug use does not necessarily have to be voluntary or consensual.

*

DUMB CHALLENGE

Have a character struck dumb (can't talk) and either blind or deaf. How do they communicate? Hey, even Dief (The wolf on Due South) could be the character you choose, if he's blinded.

*

EXOTIC DANCERS, NYMPHOS AND RENTBOYS CHALLENGE

take your favorite little boy/girl toy and do me an AU with them as an exotic dancer, a nympho or a rentboy/girl....

*

FANTASY CHALLENGE

Use this line for a fanfic: "I'll be your fantasy." This can be of any genre: G, PG, Babyfic, Smut, Slash. You can have any pairing but make it a romance. =) That means, for example, MSR to Skinner/Scully.

*

FIRST.... CHALLENGE

First kiss, First meeting, First shag...tell the story behind the first experience

*

FLIP FLOP CHALLENGE

Take your favorite characters and set them up in another fandom....I.E: the Sentinel characters become XF Jim Ellison is Fox Mulder/Blair Sandburg is Scully (g)...any swap that clicks is kewl with me...but be sure to explain the change in your author's notes, so no body gets confused. (I think this was done to perfection in a Sentinel becomes Babylon 5 fic/series, but I can't recall the title/writer)

I suppose we could take this one step backward and have you stay in the fandom and just reverse the characters..Blair becomes Jim...Simon becomes Blair...just mix 'em up and see where it goes. (weird, yeah, but it gives us room to stretch)

*

FORGIVE ME CHALLENGE

One of your couple feels he's commited the most vile of sins....you decide what the sin is and have him confess, or not this sin to his partner. How will the partner

*

FREAKY FRIDAY CHALLENGE....

the couple of your choice run into some sort of icon or angry gypsy or an unlucky star for all that you can make it whatever you like, the wilder the better, but for some reason, they exchange bodies. Keep the behavior canon on this one guys. Make it obvious that the two are switched... (can't you just see the expressions on Major crimes when Jim bounces across the bull pen all excited about his latest "thing of beauty" Or Krycek saunters into Skinner's office talking about his latest alien spotting and demanding he be allowed to track down the critter?)

*

FREE WRITING CHALLENGE

Choose a theme, be it a word, a phrase, whatever and write. For ten minutes just write whatever comes to mind. At the end of those ten minutes you can go back and clean up the copy, but for those ten minutes just let the words flow. It's fun.

FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES
(and some that do)

Use this poem to inspire a fanfic of your on choice. Something that has your character contacting a stranger who is not so much the stranger over the internet. A budding cyber relationship..An RL meeting...Mussing up the sheets. And lots and lots of internal reflection...You get the pic....

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.

HEROS AND VILLIANS CHALLENGE

Okay, Loonywoif posted me with a little challenge to pass along for you'se all. As you may or may not know, the American Film Institute recently did the top 100 heroes and villains. 50 heroes for 50 villains (Listed below the challenge) Pick a number between 1-50, which ever number you get, do a x-over fic with that hero and that villian. Loonywoif is wanting to see these stories as slash, but I gotta add that some of these would be more than a little illegal as slash, so I think the rules would have to be amended so that you use the characters of the number you choose, in whatever type story you can, general, hetero or slash...Other than that, have fun with the possibilities and let your imaginations soar

Use as many of these first liners as you want....Imagine the series it would create.

My Karma just ran over your Dogma. Now, I am at one with the road.
2. I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
3. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
4. I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed.

8. I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more.

22. False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
23. A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.

25. Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute... I'll find someone.
26. Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future?
27. The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
28. I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.

30. I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
31. The next time the universe knocks on my door, I will pretend I am not home.

JUVENILE HOOKER CHALLENGE

I (Ami) just heard on the news that apparently there's a a lot of young (read - mostly under 18) well-to-do kids who feel that their parents aren't giving them enough money for electronics and designer clothes, and rather than getting a part-time job at Mickey D's, they've decided to pimp themselves.

The challenge is to have a character come across this in their universe - Ray & Frasier from DS have a case of underage hookers from wealthy families being killed, Jim & Blair from TS have to deal with some students from Rainier hooking, CSI's only witness to a crime is a 14 year old hooker from a very wealthy family...

Find some way to work this in. It shouldn't be glorified, like 'hooking is just another way to make money' - show this for what it really is - kids prostituing themselves.

THE NAKED WIFE VIRUS CHALLENGE

From FanFicHurtComfort:
Here's the dope, guys. From what I've gathered you have to click the exe command and open this virus to infect.Seems like a lot of the company men have done this for it to be spreading...you'd think they'd know better than to open any exe, but...

Anyway, do a story where your favorite guy or gal opens the NAKED WIFE on the job comp. I want to hear them worm their way out of opening that one to the boss/lover/whatever....

I've got this pic of my favorite vic doing this and having to explain to Simon and Jim...but just don't have the time..

*

NATURAL DISASTER CHALLENGE

A natural disaster strikes and your characters must cope. Use any disaster, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, blizzard, volcano, melting polar ice caps, asteroid... How does your character react? Do they save themselves or help others? Hide or organize relief efforts? Explore the character's personality. How people react to stress tells a lot about them.

*

NEVER TO DRUNK TO...YOU KNOW

The only requirement is that at least one of the participants is, or becomes, three sheets and a pillow case to the wind. It can be serious or silly. Perhaps one partner descends into an alcoholic haze to escape pain or stress, and the other must haul them back. Perhaps it presents an opportunity to act on long repressed desires. After all, the morning after there's always the 'Man, was I drunk last night' excuse. A sophistocated wine tasting could turn into a drunken orgy, bonds could deepen on a pub crawl. Personally, I'd be interested in what happened on Gilligan's Island when the Professor finally figured out how to distill liquor from all those coconuts.

*

OREO COOKIE CHALLENGE

OKay guys, this is two-fold...Both a Question and a challenge.
The question: which method of eating Oreos do you see for your favorite fic character. And Why. Get as indeth as you want/can/are willing to.
Second, the challenge, for the writers, choose a Oreo cokie eatig method ad do a story around the theme it gives.
1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time
3. Slow and methodical nibbles examining the results of each bite afterwards.
4. In little feverous nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee...).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don't have a favorite way because I don't like Oreo.

Your Personality:
1. The whole thing
This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with their children.

2. One bite at a time.
You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other people who eat their Oreos this very same way. Just like them, you lack imagination, but that's okay, not to worry, you're normal.

3. Slow and Methodical.
You follow the rules. You're very tidy and orderly. You're very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of the fast lane if you're only going to go the speed limit.

4. Feverous Nibbles.
Your boss likes you because you get your work done quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to do them. Mental breakdowns and suicides run in your family. Valium and Ritalin would do you good.

5. Dunked.
Every one likes you because you are always up beat. You like to sugar coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have a propensity towards narcotic addiction.

6. Twisted apart, the inside, and then the cookie.
You have a highly curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if not criminal, behavior.

7. Twisted apart, the inside, and then toss the cookie.
You are good at business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the rest away. You are greedy, selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You should be ashamed of yourself. But that's ok, you don't care, you got yours.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
You enjoy pain.

9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
Stay away from small furry animals and seek professional medical help - immediately.

10. I don't have a favorite way, I don't like Oreo cookies.
You probably come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to up-scale restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own, and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are a prim and proper sort.

OUT OF THE FIRES CHALLENGE

OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS CHALLENGE

Hello Everyone; I have another challenge. In it one of our favorite guys must over come a traumatic event. The one person that meant anything to them in the world has been murdered and their body left to hang for all to see. In a moment of madness and despair they hunt down the one who killed their loved one. However instead of killing the murderer, they turn them over to the one person they despise more than anyone. Knowing that it means death and torture to the captive. Later our hero is found near catatonic with grief, as his loved ones help him recover he remembers what he did and tries to recover from what he has allowed to happen. In the process of his recovery he falls in love with the one he loathes. How this comes together is up to you. Must have: The death of a major character and the line: "You should never have touched him/her, she/he was my whole life. I hope that whatever he/she does to you hurts until the moment you die." The sex identifiers are up to you and your fic. Thanks and I hope this inspires ideas. Calia

PAMPER ME CHALLENGE

This one is kinky

Do a story where one of the character's has to wear PAMPERS...NOT DEPENDS..over an intimate scene. Have fun with it, guys, but please this character is NOT returned to infancy, just pampered in a fantasy...And to make it less "Short Eyes" don't allow it to be because the second character likes little kids.

PICNIC CHALLENGE

I'm in the mood for a First Time story set in a secluded picnic area. Make it as romantic or as simple as you've a mind to, just let the NC-17 be a complete surprise to the vic...romantic target.

*

PLAYING DOCTOR

One of the participants has an owie, and the other tends to them. Lots of room here, folks. It can go from a splinter to a coma. Think of how tenderly Jim would tend a sick Blair. We can all guess what Krycek would do with a comatose Mulder, but would Skinner demonstrate a more tender side? It can be an opportunity for taking advantage, or demonstrating devotion.

*

POEMFIC CHALLENGE

I know, I know this is kind of like the email challenge I posted the other day, but who could resist. this came over one of the lists I archive. thought instead of a songfic, someone might like to do a .....Poemfic, so...here are the lines. Do me a story around them

QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY CHALLENGE

Have any of you been watching "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? It's on Bravo and it's also on NBC.

Five gay guys descend upon a straight guy and remake him. They redecorate his apartment, teach him a little about cooking, redo his hair and his wardrobe. And I love these guys. I'd have to see if there is a website, because I've only seen a few epi's and I haven't quite caught there names yet. The one that does the wardrobe is hilarious.

Anyway, here's the plot bunny. Have your favorite character win a makeover. and maybe the fab five find something in his apartment, or something about him that makes them thing that the little straight boy isn't as straight as he thinks he is. Or maybe the character just uses the opportunity to come out to his beloved, or maybe he asks the fab five advice on coming out or being gay.

Really i (Tayla) see so much potential in this story line.

(Addendum From Peach)

You can get their names and such from the Bravo website.



Love the MIB shot of them that is up there. Carson does the clothing. Thom does the painting and such. Kyan does the hair and spa thing. Jai does the culture. And Ted does the cooking.

THE REVELATION CHALLENGE

Your favorite guy is misunderstood by those he respects and cares for. For some reason no one has ever bothered to see beyond the facade he gives the world.

However a crisis comes up that leaves the lives of the ones they love in great jeopardy. To save them he must reveal his true nature to the one person he never thought to tell the truth to put of fear of being turned away.

In the process of the truth coming out he’s managed to find love with the one person he thought was out of his league.

Must have the lines: "You hid yourself for so long you became invisible. Or was it just me not wanting to see how badly I had failed at our friendship?"

Must have someone who is out of the picture, come back into it.

ROMANCE 101 CHALLENGE: 8 SEXY WAYS TO STAY COOL

choose one or several of these romantic tips and have fun with The character of your choice

Romantic heat can be "cool"
Sparking the fire. Burning kisses. Steamy passion. Not exactly what you want to think about when nearly triple-digit temperatures soar outside, your backside is stuck to the chair and your hair is soaked with sweat.

Perspiration aside, the sweltering heat doesn't have to stifle your love life. In fact, as the barometer soars, we have fun and sexy ways you can turn scorching days into romantic, raging infernos with your partner. Here are some suggestions on how to simultaneously beat the humidity and crank up the heat in your relationship:

BARE ESSENTIALS
Before there was modesty, there was Adam and Eve. What better way to cool down than by going back to the basics? Yes folks, that means getting out of your airless, constricting clothes in favor of your birthday suit (the fig leaf is optional). Whether you choose to take it all off in the privacy of your home or prefer the idea of a late-night skinny dip, you and your fellow chill-seeker will be left shaking and shivering.
For those of you who just can't seem to take it all off, there is another sure way to stop the sweating...a wet T-shirt contest, of course. Sporting your favorite white tee, you, your partner, and a water hose can have your very own private competition. You're guaranteed to come out a winner!

CHILL AND THRILL
What could be better than a fully-stocked refrigerator? How about a fully-stocked refrigerator that you and your mate are sitting in front of? Forget the energy bill for a night.... it's time to open the doors wide and have some fantasy fun with food. Give new meaning to "heat in the kitchen" and grab the ever-sexy ice cube, the frosty Popsicle and some fresh, chilled berries and whipped cream.

STARRY-EYED
If you can't feel romantic during the sweltering heat of the day, you're sure to find relief at dusk. Some great, low-sweat nightfall activities include a moonlit stroll, rooftop stargazing, or relaxing in the hammock or porch swing. As well, having a sundown backyard picnic is another great evening activity where you can create your very own love nest by pulling out the big blanket, cracking open a bottle of wine, and snuggling up.

WINDBLOWN
When Aretha Franklin sang about the "Freeway of Love" she was onto something. There are few better, more enjoyable ways to escape the stillness of a summer scorcher than cruising along in a convertible. Beg, borrow, or rent a topless car and hit the open roadway . . . your hair will fly and your spirits will soar.

KIDDING AROUND
We all want to be a kid again. Soaring temperatures provide the perfect excuse to engage in some childlike shenanigans. Believe it or not, juvenile behavior such as flying a kite, prancing in the sprinklers, going to a nearby water park, or having a major war of water balloons will often lead to more adult-like romance.

DOWN THE HATCH
Save white Russian's for winter. Summer is the time for "Sex on the Beach." Yes, frosty cocktails are another way to beat the heat. Whether you favor tropical drinks (margarita, piña colada, etc.) or would rather stick with the more traditional (beer), mixing a few refreshingly icy beverages and lazing outside together in the shade of a big tree will certainly make the sticky air seem a little sexier.

HILLS AND THRILLS
Pack your bags . . . you're going camping. With your tent and provisions in tow, you can set out to find a magical waterfall or strive to reach the highest peak. Away from the oppressive heat and pollution of the big city, watching the sunset together and sharing a sleeping bag will certainly keep the romantic fires blazing.

COLD RUSH
Finally, if you find yourself at the end of your rope, delirious and exhausted from the heat, there is one final suggestion. Though it's not an original option, good old-fashioned air conditioning will effectively relieve you. Where can you enjoy the rush of cold air? Most restaurants (avoid the patio) and movie theaters (a great place to catch the couple-flick of the season) will put a chill in your bones, making you grab for the warmth of your partner's embrace.

*

SCRABBLE CHALLENGE

Challenge 1 - Scrabble! : The characters are playing a game of scrabble. Have them spell out "meaningful" messages to their partner during the game (Interpret that however you like. ^.^)

*

SECRET FANTASY CHALLENGE

Writers, how about posting us a story about the characters in "Secret Fantasy" action. What's Blair's secret fantasy? How about Bobby Hobbes? Seamus Harper? (I personally think Tyr would love to have someone master him, just so he can be the pampered one for awhile) Nick O'Mally? (is it me, or is tere some powerful hotsies going on with him and little Carl...behind the punches in the face) Crais? Oh, please, how about Alex Krycek's deepest and darkest?

*

SEXUAL HARASSMENT CHALLENGE

In this day and age there is a multitude of opportunity to be harassed in our daily lives. How would your favorite character handle it if his (unrealized) love interest suddenly came on to him big time? Don't want a crumble, oh-my-god-he-noticed story. Do this one as an unwanted love....at least to begin with. Its always nice if the light goes on later...But let the chesee resist to start

*

THE SHIEK'S HAREM CHALLENGE

Does anyone remember the EM Hull book "The Sheik" Valentino played the title character in the silent movie when it was put out. I happened on the book in a second hand shop. Not that any of that matters, but it sort of lets ya know what's in my insanity dripping mind for this one. I've got a real AU frame of mind going of late, and this time I've got it in my head that I'd like to read some "desert harem" fic. That being the case, do a story with your choice of characters/fandoms with one being a desert sheik, the other his kidnapped victim for the harem.

*

SLIPPING AWAY CHALLENGE

One of the guys suspects his lover has grown beyond him, and their love is slipping away... How does he react?

*

SUPREME COURT GAY SEX RULING CHALLENGE

Tayla got this idea for a challenge. It's based on the Supreme Court ruling that States can not make consensual sodomy illegal anymore. And it also copies the last scene from the movie "Untouchables". Someone asks Eliot Ness what does he think of ruling to repeal prohibition and he says (paraphrasing) "I think I'll go have a drink."

The challenge is this.
Someone asks your favorite character "What do you think of them repealing the sodomy laws." and your character says "I think I'll go home and f*** my boyfriend."

*

TATTOO CHALLENGE

Ok the challenge is simple one of your favorite pairing has an unknown tattoo. This tattoo links him to another individual. One that causes problems for their current lover because they fear it will tear them apart. It can be a future fic or crossover. Personally I'm (Caliadragon) hoping for a crossover.

The tattoos are magiclly inclinded or of a supernatural bent. Your couple must be either newly formed or established, but not hidden.

The tattoo could have been hidden with magic or in a place no one has seen. In other words not Angel's tattoo or Snape's Dark Mark.

*

THAT OLE' BLACK MAGIC CHALLENGE

A spell has been cast...A curse has been spat....The stars have aligned just so, and the couple of your choice find they can't keep their hands off each other. Not at home. Not in public....Let the fun times roll

*

TOO FAST, TOO FURIOUS CHALLENGE FOR ANY FANDOM

Watching the movie, I'm thinking it would be fun to see our guys in a similiar setting. That said, the characters of your choice meet in a racing situation on opposite sides...can be road racing, drag racing or the one we all engage in the rat race for success, whatever kind of race works for you, for that matter, take it where you will...Emotions pull them together and the rest is up to you...

*

TURNING POINT CHALLENGE

Our characters all have a turning point that brings them to some change in the series...I.E: Blair asked the nurse he was ......tutoring to let him know if anyone displayed the symptoms of heightened senses...which brought him to Jim....or Blair chose not to let Alex and Jim meet at the beginning, which caused Jim to throw him out and get him tossed into the fountain. If they'd made a different choice they would have gone in a different direction along the time line....Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to have your character make that different choice and see if it leads him/her round to the same ending point..

*

One of the team is killed. Have him come back and hear the team, or one of them telling of his hidden love for that character. If ya can't bear to kill off one of the team, there is always Stockwell... An "I remember when" type story

*

ADVENTURE INC: THE CAPTAINS WOMAN
Write "The Captain's...Woman" the idea, Gabe is the captain's ever so desirable Cabin boy, duties to include making sure Judson's bed is properly 'warmed'. oh, and please, do include this phrase ... "He's cheaper than an electric blanket for warming the sheets and a tastier pillow dressing than chocolate mints. " I absolutely adore that imagery

*

ADVENTURE INC: A NIGHT ON THE BEACH CHALLENGE

I can't remember the name of the ep but it's the one with the widow's husband's "spirit" telling her to find a sunken ship. Anyways, the challenge is to write a story about just what Judson and Gabe did during their night on the beach.
The look Judson gave Gabe when he said they were sleeping on the beach just made me wanna scream "Nookie Time"

*

ADVENTURE INC: FIRST TIME
a first time with Judson and Gabe...that had to be interesting....who would you imagine would start the intimacy between them? Would Jud be the hungry wolf watching but at bay cuz Gabe morsel was so innocent? Or Would Gabe be the aggressive hunter, stalking his boss with an eye for that tight .....bottom???

*

ADVENTURE INC: GABE JOINS THE ADVENTURE INC CREW
the challenge is pretty simple, write the story that explains how Gabe came to be a part of the team with Judson and Mac.

*

ADVENTURE INC: JUDSON AND STEPHEN
Still think there was something more than partners going on in the Stephan/Judson relationship....Can someone write me a Stephan/Jud fic...Maybe the reason behind the split? Maybe a sweet cautious first time kiss??

*

ADVENTURE INC: LOST IN THE JUNGLE

It's chalked full of Gabe owies. The boys are on a treasure hunt by themselves as Mac had another "job" going. They get lost in the jungle after being attacked by (you fill in the bad guy)and Gabe gets hurt. The boys realize they are in love with each other as they try to get home and as Gabe fights for his life.

ADVENTURE INC: NO ROMANCE
In the first ep, they're talking and I think it was Judson that said to Gabe that he had no romance in his soul. How about letting Gabe show just how much romance he does have in his cute little body

*

ADVENTURE INC: THE SEDUCTION CHALLENGE

Judson is in love with Gabe (duh! )and after a long inner battle with himself over the age diff he decides to seduce him. Now Gabe has always thought himself straight and plays hard to get, but Judson isn't taking no for an answer. So just how does Gabe realize he really is in love with Judson, and how does Judson finally seduce Gabe?

ADVENTURE INC: THREE IN A BED

a Judson/Mac/Gabe threesome (gasp!) It's pretty simple. Judson and Mac are having to play some serious
make up for making Gabe think she was dead. Again based on an ep I can't remember the name of.

ANDROMEDA: HARPER DOES TYR CHALLENGE

From AndromedaChatAndFic
Remember the ep where Tyr made an aggressive move on Harper, scaring the little blonde darling into scampering halfway down the hall before Tyr's laughter calls him back? Do me a story where Harper gets his own back. I'm for a tie him up and fuck him stupid bit, but I'm leaving it up to you just what direction you want to go. General or slash...have fun with it.

ANDROMEDA: MORE POWER CHALLENGE

I'm sitting here watching a tape of the first ep. Harper is fixing something or other, cuz I’m also reading the email, so I'm distracted, right? Anyway, Bekka is piloting through pulling out the Andromeda from the wormhole...she calls down to the pretty golden man "Harper...." He responds, "I know, I know...More power..." and my distorted mind thinks,,,(giggle) I can just hear him saying that in bed...maybe to Tyr...

So, someone up to using that line in a ficcie?

ANDROMEDA RAFE VALENTINE CHALLENGE

From AndrmedaChatAndFic:
Rafe Valentine, the cunning and lovely conman brother of the Valentine chick who shall not be named, If ya saw him you know he's got what it takes to pleasure the men of Andromeda. I don't care which one (or more) of the guys take the young villian to...heel. Just want to see him loved and loved well


SIDE NOTE FROM DARIA: I wonder how Tyr would handle such a sweet, charming manipulator. Exasperated! Maybe Tyr wants to shoot him. Rafe turning on the charm, softening up cynical, negative Tyr. Hm..Those two together is giving me a little shiver.

ANGEL: GIRLY HELMET CHALLENGE

Angel made a comment on todays episode (Angel) about having to wear the girl's (Pink) helmet when he and Wesley went out on the W man's motercycle....(That and the naked Angel lying on/strangling the warm and tingly Wes man) that got me thinking this could all wind up into something of a fun challenge. So do me a story with the naked vamp and the girly pink helmet...

*

BATMAN: MENTAL IMAGES OF THE BAT (from Jane)

An unexpected encounter with a skunk in the Bat Tunnel, on foot, while investigating 'unusual noises'.

A third grade boy with an unusally highly developed sense for pranks dusts The Dynamic Duo with itching powder on their way out of his school after a Pep Rally. It could take a while to figure out what's wrong....

Someone put a Great Dane puppy on the seat of the Bat Mobile. It was NOT housebroken....

The Bat Cave gets infested by REAL bats, big fox bats, fruit-eaters. They generate lots and LOTS of guano...

A six year old little girl compliments Batman on the 'lovely shade' he chose for his 'purple panty-hose'. How does he talk his way out of that?

*

BRIMSTONE: THE 113 CHALLENGE

What if one of the 113 was Zeke himself?? Perhaps it was something that the Devil just conviently forgot to mention, that Zeke was counted as one of the escapees. Or maybe he just lied about the real number in the first place. (Hey, it's the *Prince* of Lies after all, why not?)
That would make the true count of escapees 112. Such an...unremarkable number though. Somebody else could be out and not part of the escapees to make it 111. What if it was the Devil? Could he walk on earth, physically and directly, otherwise? Or was it all just an excuse to tattoo his and Zeke's names on our favorite angsting undead cop?

*

BUFFY: ANGEL’S SPIKE’S CHILDE CHALLENGE

It is a Buffy/Angel crossover with at least one other fandom.
Angel is Spike's child. Dru is sane and still with them.
Xander is involved with a mysterious immortal.
Dawn is the slayer and Buffy the younger sister.
Willow and Oz where never lovers, but life long friends.
Giles never stopped being Ripper and is Cordeila's lover.
Lindsey is a master vampire.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: ANGELUS RETURNS CHALLENGE

I (Calia) have a new challenge. It's based on a premise that has been used before, however this time there's a twist. Angelus has returned. He is coming to Sunnydale to claim Spike and his Childe's love. He wants them for himself. The only twist is that he has no intention of hurting anyone. He has been completely merged with his soul and the evil that lived in him has been removed by the PTB. Creating a new breed of vampire. Will Xander and Spike accept the change and his love?

*

BUFFY: BUFFY CONFIDES CHALLENGE

What if Buffy confided in Xander what happened between her, Wood, Spike and Giles. What if she told Xander everything that was said. And what if those words began to plauge on him. I don't remember the name of the episode, but I remember that the big eye thingy said that Buffy, brought on the first evil herself. This will go AU after Indigo. Fred calls back to tell Willow that Cordy has been corupted by the first.

This is the last step for Xander, he sees everyone around him falling apart.

Now for the challenge:

Part one of the challenge is that Xander knows magic. Secretly he has been learning it since Buffy's resurection. He preforms a revelation spell that tells him the exact moment that awakens the first and what it was that made
Buffy lose hope.

Part two: The Spell reveals that Buffy loses hope after Riley leaves town. She really did love him and was unable to express it. Buffy was suppose to call on Angel and the LA gang for help, but pride provented it.

Part three: Knowing the truth Xander preforms a spell that turns time backwards back to just after Adam's defeat. Xander must keep Riley and Graham in town and bring Angel and Crew there. In the midst of preforming the spell Xander brings with him a savior and a unifier: Doyle.

How you put this all together is up to you, but here's the spell.

Darkness has descended
Darkness has called
Evil is taking hold
Send away the evil
Bring Back the light
Bring back the soul
Send away the evil
Turn time backwards
Turn time straight
Changed the worlds doomed fate
I offer my blood
I offer my heart
Turn time backwards
Turn time straight
Change the worlds doomed fate.

Then Xander disappears and joins up with his past body. I hope that you take up the challenge and look forward to seeing what you come up with.

*

BUFFY: CLUELESS XANDER

I have a new challenge. Its Xander related, as usual.
Xander has broken up with Anya, it can be in any season before the wedding fiasco. It can be a nice break up or really nasty whatever you chose. Now after the break up Xander starts to spend more time with the guys in the group. In the process he mets several new guys. Xander is clueless about the affect he's having on them. Must have Xander having a complete makeover and being hit on by both sex's in front of both Spike and the girls and Spike being the one to clue Xander in and the girls having to help convince him. I would love it if Doyle, Graham, or Oz could be fit somewhere into the fic. As well as Wes never leaving Sunnyhell. Thanks Calia

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: EVIL ANYA CHALLENGE

I (Caliadragon) have a new challenge to share. It's Xandercentric of course.

Someone comes to Sunnydale to claim Xander so that he can live up to his part of a prophecy. When the person meets up with Xander they realize that there is a love/lust spell on Xander that makes him obsess about Anya. When confronted about the spell it turns out that Anya forced Willow to cast the spell on Xander. Why or how is up to you. I would prefer that Willow not remember that she did it.

In the end Anya leaves Sunnydale in fear of her life and the mystery guest takes Xander with him/her.

I would love for this to be a crossover with Xena/Herc, Anita Blake or Harry Potter.

*

BUFFY: DAWN, XANDER’S TWIN

Back to torment you again. Okay this challenge is inspired in part by Kate and
a story she wrote. Dawn has been created, however instad of being Buffy sister.
She's Xander's twin. This has changed the structure of the Scoobies
completely. Jesse is still gone, but having someone to turn to Xander didn't
hate Angel, Instead they were friends. Angel has not left Sunnydale and
Doyle lives with him in the Mansion. Wes is still in town as well. Must have
Spike/Angel pairing. References to Dawn and Xander confusing and seducing Wes.
Giles finally admiting that he isn't really a stuffy tweed guy. The other
pairings are up to you.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: THE DEMON TAKES A XANDER BRIDE

At the end of the Musical episode where Xander asks the dancing demon do I have to become your wife after all. The demon says maybe this time we will let that one go.

The challenge is what if the demon didn't let Xander go and took him with him as his wife. Who would go after him to rescue him? The demon could say only if Xander's actual true love comes for him, will I give up my new bride. and they disappear together in a puff of red smoke that is the challenge who is Xander's true love and where do they go to find
him and by the time they get there does he want to come back to Sunnydale.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: EDIBLE

-During a moment of passion (can be anger or love), someone Xander is with disappears! But it turns out they have not gone, but instead have been absorbed into Xander! Xander is actually some sort of absorbing demon. And now that person's essence is in his body! How will they get them out?!
Include please:
-"You ate me?"
"No, I didn't EAT you...it was kinda like...what was that word?"
"Osmosis"
"Yeah."
"Great. I've been ozmosised!"
-"(Blank)'s not here."
"Great! Got em out! Knew you had it in you!"
"That's the problem, you see. What's in me. The It. And it's not an it, it's a (blank)"
-"Xander, you gotta tell people these things..."
"What, that I'm an ozmosiszing demon?"
"What?"
"Ozmosisizing...or something."
"You mean, like a workout video?"
-a brick
-a tutu
-drinking
-a spunge
-a reference to the "Oh God" of Hangovers

*

BUFFY: THE HELSMOUTH IS CLOSED CHALLENGE

Hi All; I have a new challenge for you: The Hellmouth is permenatly closed,
you chose why, all the monsters have left town and the Scoobies are enjoying the
peace. They then recieve word that they are needed elsewhere. Unwilling to
seperate they all go to the new place together. This can be set after the end
of the show or in any season you chose. The only must is that Xander be in
the fic (cause i love him) and that the Scoobies include Spike. Souled or
Souless is your choice. Thanks; Calia

*

BUFFY: THE IMPORTANCE OF XANDER CHALLENGE

I have a new challenge. Its Xander related, as usual. Okay a group of ex-lovers, friends, enemies or allies of Xander's get together to discuss the impact he has had on their lives. For instance one friend of mine once made the comment that she knew Buffy and Angel were doomed from the beginning because Buffy could never get Xander to like him. It doesn't have to be any certain way. You could have them discussing how much he brought to their lives or took from them because they couldn't get his attention/approval. Thats all and thanks. Calia

*

BUFFY: THE MAGIC IN HIM CHALLENGE

Well I have this idea so I thought I'd share and hope someone would pick it up.

Okay Xander has hidden magic in him.

Now at the end of Seeing Red Willow lashed out at Xander. They never really covered what that magic did to Xander. What if the magic joined with Xander's and knocked him up?

Xander runs away when he finds out. Who finds him and who does he end up with?

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: MOHRA DEMON CHALLENGE

Do you who remember the episode of Angel in which the Mohra Demon turns him human and he and Buffy get together? Only it all has to change so he gets a time turner equivalent so it never really happened?

My theory about the Mohra is their blood doesn't turn you into the opposite, ie a vampire human or whatever. They turn you into something hidden in you, deep within your personality or nature. Angel was so caught up in his redemption and wanting to have a chance to be human like again, that is what he got. If Spike had gotten the blood on him instead the blood may have turned him pure demon. {Depending on what season of Buffy}

My challenge is, based on this theory, is that Xander gets the Mohra blood onto him. It brings out the Hyena and the Soldier so instead of sending him conflicting information all the time, his personality merges. {Part of the back story is he's been getting bits and pieces from them both the whole time, enough to make him clumsy and a poor fighter as his body tries to do two things at once}

This can be any season after Halloween, with one request. If it is written after the finale of season 7 please turn him into enough of the Hyena spirit that he gets both eyes back.

Will this make him good or bad, to join Angelus in Season 3 or to fight the Initiative or joining Adam in season 4? Heck, it could be yet another mystical weapon developed by the trio using the blood and they are not sure of the effects yet and Xander gets hit by it. If so, maybe he teaches the trio a lesson for sure and sets himself up as the big bad in Sunnydale.

BUFFY: RESCUING XANDER CHALLENGE

The challenge is that Xander goes with Willow when she goes to LA to resoul Angel. While there the unexpected happens and Spike must come to LA to help rescue Xander from Angelus.

While Xander is in Angelus' custody he's not harmed and realizes that Angel is still in control. What happens from there is up to you.

Must have Doyle alive and no Cordy as a seer and Willow being the reason Angel was able to kidnap Xander.

*

BUFFY: RUN AWAY XANDER CHALLEGE

I have another challenge to issue, duh. Okay here it is:
Willow and Buffy get upset when they can't find Xander. When they go to see him he's gone and they find a letter waiting with the names of all the Scoobies on the front of it. Use the letter below as part of the starting run. The Letter:
Well you finally got around to noticing I wasn't here. Probably because I wasn't there to do something or run an errand. Sorry, but the Zeppo has left the building. I've decided that Sunnyhell has won and I'm getting out of dodge. Have fun and give Spike a kiss for me. Xander Now its up to you to find Xander. Has he really runaway or has he been taken? Must have the LA gang being hired to find Xander and Larry knowing where he is, but refusing to tell. Points if you can work in Oz, Graham and Andrew. Thanks and may the bunnies be nice to you. Calia

BUFFY: SEEING THE TRUTH CHALLENGE

Okay I was under the assumption that the first could only appear as people who were dead. So this got me thinking of a challenge. What if Caleb had blinded Xander because the First needed him distracted from finding out that the real Buffy was dead? What if the person everyone believes is Buffy is just a small part of her true essence inhabiting her body. Now the challenge is to have Xander find out the truth and have to convince everyone else of this. There would only be two ways to stop the First. 1) They would have to reverse the spell and kill Buffy or 2) They find a prophecy that says: The weakest among the strong, the strongest for what he sees,Only the one who sees all and risks hisself may shatter the evil and return the balance. The prophecy is interpreted by Giles, but he only tells everyone about it after he gets drunk. It is also the reason that he has acted so distant. He knows that Xander is the one that the prophecy is talking about, but he has no idea what it is Xander must sacrafice. That is up to you, but it must have him live and well at the end of the fic. Thanks Calia

*

BUFFY: SLEEPING BEAUTY CHALLENGE

I'm posting this as a challenge at the behest of Mommy Sofy. However I'm placing a few must haves onto it.

Xander must be in the fic somewhere. Preferably in the lead.
The first evil has been defeated and the LA crew living in Sunnydale again.
Oz, Riley and Graham also in Sunnydale again.
Willow must have found and broken the spell on Spike that made him love Buffy and had Buffy sexing him.
Pleasure points if you have a) Ethan Rayne as a good guy and Giles reunited lover and b) Ethan as the one who discovers how to break the spell.

Now onto the original idea.

How about a retelling of Sleeping Beauty? You could have Xander or one of the other guys as the Sleeping Beauty. You could have it that in the middle of battle someone is wounded with a dagger or something like that. The dagger
sends the wounded person in a coma like state. In this case it traps them in themselves until their hearts desire claims them in love and passion. Until it happens the injured person is stuck seeing the world go on around them.

*

BUFFY: SOULED ANGEL CHALLENGE

I have a new challenge. It's based on a premise that has been used before, however this time there's a twist.

Angelus has returned. He is coming to Sunnydale to claim Spike and his Childe's love. He wants them for himself. The only twist is that he has no intention of hurting anyone. He has been completely merged with his soul and the evil that
lived in him has been removed by the PTB. Creating a new breed of vampire.

Will Xander and Spike accept the change and his love? (FROM Calia)

*

BUFFY: TIME TRAVEL CHALLENGE

Yep its me again; In the future the descendants of the original Scoobies and Fang Gang come up against an evil that they can not face alone. So it is decided that they should preform a spell. In the process they manage to bring the two groups forward in time. There is one other major problem. They brought them forward while the Doyle is still alive and Wes has just come to Sunnydale. By doing so they also release the inhabitions that held Wes and Xander back. Must have the descendants calling on their Uncle Angel and Uncle Spike to come help them. Also Faith would be a part of the fic as well. Thanks; Calia

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: SPIKE TO THE RESCUE CHALLENGE

The challenge is that Xander goes with Willow when she goes to LA to resoul Angel. While there the unexpected happens and Spike must come to LA to help rescue Xander from Angelus.

While Xander is in Angelus' custody he's not harmed and realizes that Angel is still in control. What happens from there is up to you.

Must have Doyle alive and no Cordy as a seer and Willow being the reason Angel was able to kidnap Xander.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: WILLOW/DRU CHALLENGE

Premise: An alternate 4th/5th season, in which Dru's the one with the chip (or both Spike and Dru are chipped). Or Tara can be Dru in disguise. Or something. Look, just get Dru in there somehow.
Choose an episode and change it, if you want, or write your own story with this premise.
Must be Will/Dru and, if possible, Spike/Xander. Or Riley/Xander (I am a sick, sick puppy). or go nuts and make everyone sleep with everyone else, if your little heart so desires, but W/D is a must. S/X or R/X would get you many kudos from me, but it's not required.

Must include three of the following:

-A bed being used for something other than sex, (although it can be used for sex later)
-A rose garden
-An amethyst brooch
-A Britney Spears CD
-Strawberry yogurt or chocolate ice cream
-A tight velvet shirt (your choice of color) and leather pants on Willow (and she's not evil)
-Spike hitting on Willow, but being rejected/beat up for it
-Karaoke at the Bronze ^.^
And five of the following lines:
-"Sorry, no vampires here. But, oh, we do have Spike."
-"I'm an idiot."
"You're in love. In the end, it's the same thing."
-"Believe in magic. Or I'll kill you."
-"Call Olympus, they've lost Adonis."
-(from Xander, during one of the many awkward pauses in a conversation) "So, I take it this conversation was scripted by William Shatner."
-(between Spike and any character) "Men. They all think they're the paragons of evolution."
"Spike, I hate to break it to you, but you're a member of the Penis Club."
"That's different."
"Oh, really."
"I *am* the paragon of evolution."
-"Well, as you'll all take the time to observe, I'm wearing pants."
-"So, Spike (or Dru), would this be the British Mind Meld?"
-"Hello, Fuzzy." (somebody to Willow)
Knock yourselves out, guys.

BUFFY: WOO IS ME CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone; I have a new challenge to issue. One of our favorite hero types finally sees how badly they are being used by those around them, when the one they looked up to the most does something very spiteful to break our hero and their lover. Must have a confrontation and this song. Knives by Fuel Give me one good reason to why you're so blind I covered your back again Now you'd better cover mine Chorus: If I turned and walked away Would you stick your knives in me How much longer til you break Until I walk away, walk away from you Give me one good reason To why you're so unkind You know i believe, believe it's true You know I believed in you Chorus Thanks; Calia

*

BUFFY: XANDER AND THE PROPHECY

Someone comes to Sunnydale to claim Xander so that he can live up to his part of a prophecy. When the person meets up with Xander they realize that there is a love/lust spell on Xander that makes him obsess about Anya. When confronted about the spell it turns out that Anya forced Willow to cast the spell on Xander. Why or how is up to you. I would prefer that Willow not remember that she did it.

In the end Anya leaves Sunnydale in fear of her life and the mystery guest takes Xander with him/her.

I would love for this to be a crossover with Xena/Herc, Anita Blake or Harry Potter.
(Calia)

BUFFY: XANDER ATTACKED CHALLENGE

I'm here again to challenge and cause a rabid bunny attack. Okay here it is: Xander (of course) is attacked by some unknown assailant. When he comes to he is disoriented and stumbling towards a street lamp. Angel and or Spike finds him and he collapses into their arms unconscious. The next time Xander wakes up he has no memory and instead of panicking is actually peace over it. He shocks everyone by a) flirting with the guys in the room. Including Spike and or Angel, whom he hates and b) takes off his hospital gown in front of everyone and they realize he has no tan lines and no inhibitions. (yum) I would prefer that this were a happy fic, but thats up to you. The only must is that Xander's real personality comes out and that he is happier without his memory and doesn't get it back. Also he has just inherited a house from someone, not his parents,
and is well off. That covers him not being able to work. Thanks: Calia

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: XANDER THE DEMON BUFFY TYPE

Xander's parents are loving and supportive. They know all about his life with Buffy. In fact their the demon worlds version of the slayer. Its the reason they moved to the hellmouth. The reason Xander is a demon magnet is because he's the male demon version of Buffy with magical powers.
Xander has lied to his friends to protect his parents identity. Spike finds out when Giles forces Xander to move him into his house. Xander's parents take a liking to him.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: XANDER IS MISSING CHALLENGE

Xander is missing when the girls go to see him his apartments been wrecked and his Dad is on his way to the hospital. While his mother is screaming about monsters taking her boy.
When they go to Spike to demand his help, he's also missing and his crypt has been destroyed.
What does this have to do with Xander's disappearance and who are the strange people suddenly looking for the pair.
And why can't anyone find Angel?
Must have another fandom. Must be slash and Xander has to be at least one of the main characters.
No Buffy bashing! Willow is okay though.
Can be mpreg or not.

*

BUFFY: XANDER KILLS ANGEL CHALLENGE

When Angel gets sent to hell, its Xander that is fighting him, not Buffy. After Angel is resouled Xander grabs a dagger and cuts Angels hand and tosses it into the portal thinking that will be enough. He then grabs onto Angel and lifts him
into his arms as the portal sucks Angel in, taking Xander with him.

Later at the end of summer Angel and Xander return, only Angel isn't insane and Xander is calmer and stronger.

The challenge is to reintergrate the two into the scoobies lives. Who will Xander want to stay with? His friends or his protector?

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: XANDER’S POSSESSIONS CHALLENGE

We all know that Xander has been possessed by a hyena spirit and a soldier. Now the premise of this challenges is that Xander still retains memories of the First Slayer. However, Xander also has a 4th posession that he never told anyone about. Thats because his last possession is a nymphomaniac.

It's up to you what the spirit is and who or how the gang finds out. Can be a straight PWP or a story with true content. Its up to you. Only musts are not a rape fic and a happy ending if possible.

*

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: XANDER THE SLAYER

In this world Buffy is the powerless sidekick, Xander is the slayer, Dawn is his twin sister, Willow is the young watcher. Giles is the werewolf, Oz is the wicca. Spike is the Sire and exlover of Xander. Angel is in Spike's role. Darla is alive and insane. Dru is dead. How you do the rest is up to you as long as they are total opposites of what they are know.

I (Caliadragon) prefer that Xander be the central character and that he be slashed with either Angel, Graham or Oz. However sanyway you slash him is up to you. Though if you can get Angel and Spike together that would be cool as well.

DUE SOUTH: CHILD CHALLENGE

Have a character tell a child a story or explain something complex to them. I.e., a death in the family, moving out of town, why the sun sets. Make the child barely old enough to understand. Keep in mind that the language used to speak to a child is usually very simple--not baby talk, but short, very understandable words.

*

DUE SOUTH: DESERTED ISLAND CHALLENGE

Strand two characters who don't seem to get along well together on a deserted island.

*

DUE SOUTH: FRASER’S EXPERICENCE CHALLENGE

Fandom - Due South. Category - First Times. Pairing - Ben and Ray (V or K, your choice). Seeing how reserved Ben is around women, a lot of fanfic writers have written him as having little or no experience. But what Ben is experienced - with men? Just gets a little shy around women, because he doesn't want to date them. What if he goes prowling one night, and runs into Ray (whichever) who's undercover? Try to include a scene that is inspired by the following line - *Virgin does not mean submissive.* Please, no rape or death stories.

DUE SOUTH: MASKED BALL CHALLENGE
Somewhere in Chicago there is a masked ball, where is up to you, formal or informal is up to you. The requirement is that everyone's face is covered so that no one can tell who the others are.

It can be romantic, a mystery, angst, a crime story, humor, whatever. I'd love to see these done as PG-13 or less, but that's not a requirement. Invite whomever you want to the ball and have fun!

*

DUE SOUTH: SECRET ADMIRER CHALLENGE

A character has a secret admirer. Is it a lover, a friend, a stalker or someone who wants revenge?

DUE SOUTH: VIRUS CHALLENGE
A timely topic! Someone sends a computer virus around the world that crashes 90% or more of the operating systems. The world is plunged into the days before computers for a time period of your choosing. Banks and businesses close. Public transportation (i.e., subways and planes) that rely on computers suddenly stop. Is your main character the initiator of the virus? If so, why did they do it? Is your character an innocent bystander? Are they trapped in a subway tube when their train stops or in an elevator or in a plane plunging to the earth? Are they an astronaut, trapped in space with no guidance home or are they in a crowd looting a grocery store because there's no way to get money for food? You decide. The story that comes to mind for me is "The Handmaid's Tale". Religious extremists use this idea to take over North America. You can use any of the criminals in DS or have the guys, or Officer Elaine and/or Franny, trying to find the creator. Or it can be a post-apocalyptic survival story-Fraser'd be fine, I'm sure. You decide and have fun!

DUE SOUTH: WISH CHALLENGE

Give a character a wish and describe what they would do with it, as well as what they were thinking when they received it and how they came to a decision on how to use it.

FARSCAPE: OUT OF CONTEXT CHALLENGE

Okay, there hasn't been enough going on the lists round this time of year, there being no Farscape and all, so I thought I'd try giving out a challenge. So, you have to use one or more of these quotes as dialogue in a story. That's it. It's simple. I just wanna see some fic, people, please, before I'm forced to go and read GEN Farscape fic...and nobody wants to see that happen, right? Make 'em short, make 'em funny, make 'em angsty or sweet or down-n-dirty nasty -- I don't care. Just do it.

The following quotes are taken from the Out-of-Context Quotes site at
http://www.quantumslip.com/quote/

'Hey, I love you... don't make me cut your brake line!'

'You're the only one who understands me.'
'Yeah, but it doesn't mean I care.'

'I'd love to embrace you, but first I have to satisfy my sense of moral outrage.'

'I'll take your word for it, just so long as we both understand that my butt is not a tuber.'

'Damn it, you tryin' to irradiate yourself, woman?'

'All it needs is a little gay spray and a half dozen torso sculptures and I'm home!'

'If the ET's really wanted human sperm, why don't they just go to a sperm bank?'

'Ugh, it turned all different!'

'We've got a blind date with destiny, and it looks like she's ordering the lobster.'

'Would you be willing to repeat that sir, with your pants on this time?'

*

FIREFLY: SLAVE FIC CHALLENGE

Anyone here interested in a bit of a kinky challenge. I'm sitting here thinking what costume the guys would wear to a Halloween party and naturally my mind tends to swing into the Arabian nights (well, maybe not naturally ) But from there a kernel of a story challenge creeps up...so the challenge...

The Firefly guys land on a planet not realizing the cits are into slavery. One or more of the crew appear to accidentally be killed, only to find themselves in reality captured by a slaver....you fill in the blanks...Only thing that needs to be included, you can change the reasons why, but they guy/gal/ have to be captured by a slaver and sold into slavery....the rest is up to you...

HARRY POTTER: EVIL ALBUS

Okay I have a new challenge. What if Albus was the one who was evil? What if the only reason that Severus, Draco and Ron had anything to do with Hogwarts and later Harry was to find a way to protect him from the old wizard. The challenge is that Herimone finds out the truth and is the one to tell Harry. How will they escape the old wizard? How will they escape Voldermort who is also evil? Their only help lies in two former Death Eaters. Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape. Will they trust them once Sirus and Remus side with them? All of these questions and more can be answered by you if you take up this challenge. I look forward to reading you response. Thanks; Calia

*

HERCULES: 7 POINT CHALLENGE

It's a 7 point challenge. It doesn't matter how you intergrate the parts or what the timeline is. As long as you get them in.

Joxer, Jett and Jayce are the lost sons of a god, not a War God or Zeus.
Xena, Gabrielle and Eli are actually followers of Discord.
Strife is pregnant by an unknown God and bonds with Cupid because of it.
The unknown father is a Death God.
Bliss is an adult and the God of Lost Children
Hercules and Iolous are friends and followers of Ares and enemies of Zeus.
At least one other fandom needs to be blended into the story.

*

HERCULES: THE AUTO (AUTOLYCUS) CHALLENGE

Premise:
Auto manages to piss off two God/desses. A God/dess of Agression *and* a God/dess of Affection. (think the blondes and the brunettes) However, before he can be blasted into atoms, his Dad, Hermes pleads for leniency. So... the two God/desses discuss and they each zap him with a curse/spell to help him "change his wicked ways"...

Requirements:
-Auto, Joxer, Hermes and 2 other God/desses -A stolen artifact -A broken heart -2 seperate curses/spells

Bonus Points:
-Salmonious to the rescue -frizzy hair/bad hair day -Hercules in a mud puddle

Can be any length, but must have at least a hint of a plot. Can be het, but I prefer slash. Enjoy...

*

HERCULES: EPPIE SLASHY REWRITE CHALLENGE

Rewrite a episode from H:tLJ or Young Hercules as a slash story. I (Leah) know that when I'm watching these shows, I keep thinking of all the great opportunities for a little bit of slash here and there. If anyone feels like trying this, great! If not, oh, well. I just thought it'd be fun to put out there for you all to think about.

*

HERCULES: FAKING THIER DEATH CHALLENGE

Okay as I said I have a challenge. It is based on the episode where Xena and Gabrielle fake their death. Well I decided to change that a little. The challenge should you chose to accept it is as follows:
The two women do fake their deaths, but instead of Joxer being left out he has already been locked away with Eve, Xena really was going insane over the potential lose of her daughter. The Furies had something to do with it.
Joxer and Eve had been fed some of Death's tears.
Now you have to say why Xena chose to do this, what happens when they all four wake up and how the God's have deal with their return.
Also I would prefer that it was Herc or an immortal Iolaus that found them and no Gabrielle following the Way or the Light.

*

HERCULES: JASE/JOXER CHALLENGE

Jase is Joxer's older brother by a couple hours. I like the two of them together...Just to darn much hot sparks exchanged in their sibling rivalry. Do me a story, guys. Gen or slash...Sexual incest or not. Just resolve the sparks

*

HERCULES: JOXER ON OLYMPUS CHALLENGE

I want to see a story with Joxer the mighty on Olympus by accident and accidentally turned into a kid along with 4 other gods.
Must contain:

1. A very shy Joxer
2. A very scared Joxer
3. A joxer that is use to adults being mean, so why should he come out of hiding.
4. A joxer that sneaks past Hera and steals an apple, because he is so hungery.
5. Hera's falling in love with the little tyke. Then finding out that the triplets are some of Zeus's "bastards". And she comes to change her way of thinking and putting the blame on the real culprit. But not before little Joxer hears her "anger" and runs off again.

Ok, that s that.

HIGHLANDER: KRONOS STALKS METHOS

and there lives a thought inspiring challenge...Kronos actually does start sending flowers, candy, notes full of flowery phrases....and stalking the poor Methos, jealous over his affection for....whoever...

HIGHLANDER MEETS THE THREE MUSKETEERS CHALLANGE

Cadfael writes: Ya know that feeling, when you have a moment when a thought or an image comes to you suddenly? And you slap your forehead with an open palm so loud and so hard that your teeth rattles?

Well I had one, picturing our 4 heroes during a "final fling" together, in the last episode of "Highlander: the Series".

I pictured all four characters, and their characteristics...and their faces, as well as the characteristics of Methos, MacLeod, Amanda and Joe overlapping with the characteristics of (respectively): Athos, D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Porthos.

I know it sounds nuts, but just go with me here.

1. Porthos (Joe) was the "rock" of the Musketeers. An intelligent and mallable fool, if need be. A loyal and wise friend, if need be. And a possessor of uncanny strength (of both body and purpose) if need be. In the final novel of Dumas, he dies when his "great heart bursts" while using his great strength to keep his friends from being buried by tons of rock, while they escape.

2. Aramis (Amanda) was the "great lover", who was often seen leaping out of the windows of married ladies. Stealing their hearts and wooing their purses, to support his fashionable whims. A temporary sideline of course, until he is able to pursue his "true calling" of becoming a great Cardinal (financed of course, by grateful rich widows and wives). His frivilous pose, hiding a great affection and loyalty for his friends. Later in life he became a powerful Cardinal (succeeding the Musketeers' former enemy, Richelieu as a great minister of state), and lover to the Queen Mother, Anne. His ambition only exceeded by his willingness to do anything to preserve France (or MacLeod, perhaps?).

3. D'Artagnan (MacLeod), the noble Gascon "green boy", who dreamed of becoming a Musketeer, to "fight for King and Country". Seeing things as right or wrong, black or white. Chivalrous to a fault, which almost get him killed by Milady de Winter (Kristen?). And even after Milady has brutally murdered D'Artagnan's fiance, he still cannot bring himself to kill her. So Athos has to be the one to pursue her death, to keep her from killing again. Still, the lad is moved by her pleas, as she's being dragged away by the headsman. So Athos has to threaten to kill him, if he intervenes.

4. Athos (Methos), once a man of power who was betrayed and broken by love. Hiding his former life in the anonymity of service to those he previously would have commanded. Occasionally finding forgetfulness in wine, women, and literature. Takes a liking to a green boy, despite his own misgivings at the boy's stubborn willingness to pursue any noble cause (as well as rescuing noble women). Thus, risking the possibility that old wounds are likely to being reopened, while he risks his own survival by daring to care about someone else's, for a change.

And last but not least, what about:
"All for One, and One for All" when compared to: "There can be only One!" ?!!!!!

(Challenge from PEJA} Wanna make it so

THE INVISIBLE MAN: CHRIS' INVISIBLE MAN CHALLENGES

#1 Getting to track down a bomb in the Agency, the two agents find out more about each other's history. The bomb threat is called in while they are there and scheduled to blow before the bomb squad can get there---Hobbes knows something about defusing bombs. He tells Darien a story while searching for the bomb in the records dept, where it was said to be...what is the story? Will they manage to defuse the bomb? Without fighting or getting hurt?

#2 The agents get locked in an elevator on their way to bring a known killer in. Not really a plot line bunny, but something that could be slashy, funny, or dramatic---is some one claustophobic?

#3 A musician leaves his final piece of composition close to his suicide. The suicide note is odd in that he doesn't speak about the work he'd been doing---he was a known egotist. What is it about the music that seems to catch Hobbes attention and why does it bear notice in the case?

#4 A house was being torn down and a body was found in the foundation. The case gets shuttled to the Agency and the boys have grisly work ahead in deciphering the mystery behind the identity and if it was a homicide at all.

#5 To get close to a terrorist/spy, one of the agents has to take on the theater in some way, as actor or laborer

#6 A play on the Zodiac Killer story. There's no pattern discernable except that the deaths are all of the same sign as Darien and that they are all children born within a twenty mile range. (according to the file on Darien, he's Cancerian June 27)

NEW YORK UNDERCOVER: DRUGGED EDDIE CHALLENGE

This is probably going to sound oddly familiar to all you Stasky & Hutch fans, but here goes. I think a great first time story would be with Eddie getting kidnapped & hooked back on heroin by the baddies, he manages to escape, or JC rescues him, anyway, because JC doesn't want to jepordize Eddie's carrear, he takes him to his place untill he's clean again. Eddie's haveing a real bad time of it & as JC's holding a sweaty, shaking, vulnerable Eddie, they both subcum to some pretty basic needs. Yeah, I know that was alleady an episode, but, gosh darn, that one epi just had such great slash potential, I thought ; )

Recently I saw a message on another list about something that I just *know* would make a good Jim/Blair story. It seems that the Hershey Co. has opened up a spa of some kind. In this spa you can get chocolate wraps, massages, facials, etc. Also they have a chocolate *bath*. It's supposed to be very good for you, health wise, why I have no idea.I could just see Blair talking Jim into some "alternative therapy", that would also treat their sweet tooth. I don't have the original message anymore, so I have no idea of where the spa is supposed to be. But, it doesn't matter. We are dealing with fiction, anyway, so why not have one in Cascade?
The challenge to the writers is to write a story involving Jim and Blair at this spa, enjoying it...and each other. Length of story is up to you, and it can be a PWP or have a plot. But it *must* involve them in the spa. And I want a happy ending.

SENTINEL: INTO THE MAGICAL PAST

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Timeframe - 1800's and 1100's. Blair is a student at Oxford (England) university in the 1800's, and he (falls through a portal, gets caught in a spell, casts a spell, touches a talisman, you choose) and gets sent back in time 700 years (or thereabouts, as long as its before the year 1200.) There he meets a knight named James Ellison (Jim, of course). Jim thinks Blair is a spy for his enemy (name of your choice, bonus points for using one of the following: Garret Kincaid, David Lash or Dawson Quinn), so he takes Blair with him, and on their way back to his castle, they are attacked by his enemies sorceress name of your choice, (bonus points for using one of the following: Veronica Sarris, Alex Barnes, Cassie Wells, or Samantha). Since they are targeting Blair too, Jim knows that he isn't working for them. He takes Blair back to his place, and asks him what he is doing there. When Blair finds out what year it is, he tells Jim what has happened, but what they don't know is that the sorceress is listening in. When she hears about Blair begin from the future, she decides that he is a threat, and poisons him. Only, she accidentally used the wrong ingredient, and instead of killing Blair, the poison turns him into a woman, but only at night. Jim has a sorcerer of his own (Bonus points for making him one of the bull-pen guys) who knows how to send Blair back, but Blair can't go back until he is changed back. While trying to find an antidote, Jim and Blair fall in love, which leads to lost of problems, as Blair knew he was attracted to men, but he is still a virgin, and Jim has never been attracted to a man before (bonus points for using female pheromones in here somewhere), so they decide to take it slow. Eventually they find an antidote, but the catch is that the antidote isn't a potion or spell, but an act - Blair has to have sex in his female form in order to change back. Of course, he and Jim have sex, but Blair doesn't change back right away; the sorcerer says its because he's pregnant. In the time they wait for him to change back, Blair and Jim get married (he's female now, so that works) and the story ends with the baby (or babies, your choice, as is gender) being born, and Blair decides that he doesn't want to go back. A few rules - there is to be no rape or death of Jim or Blair, no setting them up with anyone else, and they must be together by the end of the story.

AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Jim is a sculptor (oh, shades of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in 'Ghost'!) who, when his senses start acting up, finds that he can't control them when he has sex.

Blair hears about him looking for a model, and decides to do it. Bonus points for the following - virgin-Blair, virgin-to-Gay-sex-Jim, and a scene reminiscent of 'Ghost's' clay-lovemaking scene.

SENTINEL: MENTAL IMAGES OF THE SENTINEL (From Jane)

Subject: You know, for supposedly intelligent people we of the Sentinel fandom can be....

Awfully DUMB.

Otherwise, why have we ignored and glossed over Naomi's complusive need to continuously 'try to find herself'? Has anyone entertained the notion that SHE just might be an UnBonded Guide, herself? Driven to wander the Earth until she finds her OWN sentinel....

Other Mental Images of the Sentinel

Jim, while skinny-dipping with Blair, has a Large-Mouth Bass mistake his pecker for a legitimate meal...

Someone removes all of the office furniture at Major Crimes, and replaces it with stuff that make it look like a brothel....

Jim Ellison coming home to find pigeons all over the loft because Naomi left the balocny doors wide open.

Large mutt 'adopts' Simon...follows him into PD and MC itself, and refuses to leave.

Blair on balcony in late spring. The rising full moon throws a white- gold glow over his nude body, which gleams with moisture from the shower. He's crying silent tears. This Jim sees when he enters an unlit loft, and Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy" plays softly in the background.

SENTINEL: MPREG BLAIR CHALLENGE

This is not AU, technically, since it starts out in the original Sentinel universe, but what happens after can be considered AU. Now, Blair has been living with Jim for at least a year, maybe more if you want. Blair is under a curse where he turns into a woman (yeah, I know it reminds you of Gillian Middleton's story, but wait! It is different) every night of the full moon. (See! I told you it would be different). On the night of the new moon, he changes halfway. By halfway I mean that he has female breasts and er...well, stuff...you know, 'reproductive equipment,' along with a guy's... er... dangly bits, and a prostate. (Also, in his female form, he still has a prostate. He might as well get something of this.) Now, he's been doing this since he turned 13 (puberty and all) and so he's researched it quite a bit, including the way to end the curse, which, in itself is unique. To break the cruse, he has to have sex with a guy in his female form (on the night of the full moon), and then in his halfway form (on the night of the new moon, but only after he has sex with a guy in his female form.) Also, he has to have sex, first with his female parts, then with his male parts on both nights. (This is where the prostate comes in.) Once he does, he will be able to change at will to any degree he wants. One of the things he found in his research was an account of the last known male in his family to have this curse, as Blair was the only male born into the family in...let's say...the last 50 years. This guy, when he was about 35, had a lover, who was willing to help him break the curse, only, when they had sex together, they used a condom. It didn't work. So the guy hypothesized that if they wanted to break the curse, they couldn't use a condom, and they tried it that way and it worked. He didn't get pregnant, because he was too old. At this point in Blair's life, he is in his mid-twenties, so he could get pregnant. Now, here's where it gets a little more AU. When Blair first started changing, he decided to wait, 'cause he didn't know what would happen if he tried to have sex. When he found this guy's journal, and read his account of the whole changing thing, he realized that whoever he found to break the curse would have to be someone he trusted, since it was possible he could get pregnant. (And we all know that Blair has trust issues) Since he realized that if he got pregnant, he'd want to at least keep in touch with the guy, so the baby would know both of its parents (remember, he doesn't even know who his father is, and it seems to me that he'd want any child of his to know both their parents), he also wanted to fall in love, and maybe have a forever kinda thing with him. (Yes, I admit it; I am a happy-ever-after chick) Since Jim is basically the only guy he's ever really trusted, he's also the only person he'd tell. (But wait! you're asking. Does Jim know?) And the answer is...not yet. The way Jim finds out is simple. Ever since Blair started living with him, on the nights of the full and new moon he would arrange to be away for the next twelve hours, either working, or 'out on a date'. But, there's going to be a stakeout on the night of the full moon, and Jim needs Blair there. He comes home (on the night of the full moon) and tells Blair this. It's one hour till sundown, and Blair is trying to leave. When Blair tries to obfuscate his way his way out of the stakeout, Jim hears his heart racing, and knows he is lying. Eventually, Blair decides to tell him all of this. When Jim hears it, and listens to his heartbeat so he knows he isn't lying, he thinks that maybe all that UST (unresolved sexual tension) he's been feeling for Blair might possibly be returned. Blair, of course, wants him to take time to think about it, since Jim has never been with a guy before, plus, he knows its gonna hurt when he loses his virginity, so he's a bit gun-shy, so they decide to wait for at least four weeks until the next whole change, and date in the meantime. When Blair gets pregnant, his appearance won't change; he will basically be a guy with a womb, appearing to gain weight, but still a guy. What happens after that is your choice, as long as you follow the rules: there is to be no rape, castration, slavery or deaths of Jim, Blair or the baby, either in the womb, or after birth. This is a happy challenge, but you can put as much angst into it as you want, as long as the guys end up together, and all of their friends and family don't end up hating them. You can also make up whatever you want about the babies, including their sex, and whether or not they change. One more thing: if you decide to use Naomi, she hasn't ended her curse, because when she changes, she becomes a man, and none of the women she slept with would let her not use protection, plus, she never slept with anyone in her halfway form. (But think of all the fun you can have with this. Can you say 'Father-daughter dance' anyone?) ;-)

THE SENTINEL: RAFE GOES CASUAL

Karen Wrote:
I've been stuck on the idea of Rafe as GQ, so I went to Ingrid's site and looked at the screen grabs. I think it works out that he was wearing casual clothes more often than suits, but I might be wrong. ..
Here's what I found: .
Waiting Room - wore casual dark pants and red club jacket .
Most Wanted - wore blue sweater and dark pants; wore casual jacket and pants .
Real Deal - casual jacket and outfit .
Mirror Image - leather jacket/casual .
TSBBS - suit; dress shirt & sweater, shirt/tie with casual jacket at end .
Smart Alex - cord shirt, jeans .
Night Shift - suit (Without jacket usually but dressy) .
Pennies from Heaven - uniform .
Vendetta - Police jacket and hat, jeans .
Secret - casual shirt and jeans .
Foreign Exchange - suit/ overcoat .
Sentinel Too - suit/ overcoat .
His Brother's Keeper - red jacket, tux
. Four Point Shot - suit
So, maybe we can have more casual Rafe stories, instead of all the Rafe/GQ stories. Can I do that as a challenge? Write a casual/jeans/outdoors Rafe story. Please!!

SENTINEL: SERIAL "FATHERLESS CHILD" KILLER CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - First times. Pairing - Jim and Blair. There's a serial killer in Cascade (where else would a serial killer be) who, after he kills someone, calls the cops and says that he's killed one of his children. Once they get he first call, they run blood tests on the people who were killed, and it turns out that the people who think they are their fathers aren't. The mothers of the people who are killed can't think of anyone who might be the fathers that they have in common. As all the victims have blue eyes and brown, curly hair, when Naomi shows up, she starts badgering Jim and Simon to protect Blair. Jim eventually decides they aren't safe in the city (or something), and they hide out in the forest, in a cabin. (I suppose they could stay in the loft) While there, they discover their feelings for each other, and get together. Two rules - no rape or deaths of Jim and Blair.

SENTINEL: SHAPESHIFTER CHALLENGE

Fandom - 'The Sentinel' with Jim and Blair. It goes like this - it's AU, one of those universes where there are lots of Sentinels & Guides. And Sentinel/Guide pairs are matched up according to their genetic profiles. They bond sexually. (I know, this sounds like Saul's story, and reading it gave me this idea, but it's a lot more complex, trust me.) Jim and Blair have never met before they find out that they are a matched set. When they do meet, things get weird. Blair is from a tribe that is very magical (i.e. mages, sorcerers, elves, fairies, whatever you want to use), but is also very unusual in his tribe. In fact, he is the only one of his kind. What kind, you ask? He is a Changeling/Shapeshifter. Now, let me explain this. You know that Blair's Spirit Guide is the Wolf, so he can change into a wolf whenever he wants. That's the Shapeshifter part. Jim has been looking for a Guide for so long, because he needs a Shapeshifter Guide, whose DNA matches his. For this story, Blair is 21 (That's the only way this will work, trust me) and Jim is 27 or 28. The Changeling part is where it gets weird. As a Changeling, Blair can become a woman (yes, I know this isn't exactly M-Preg, but since Blair's body would be male on the outside while he's pregnant, up until the time he goes into labor, I still thought I'd warn you.) in Blair's tribe, when a boy (or girl) reaches sexual maturity, there is a ceremony where a Shaman direct them down the path they must follow, the one that will lead to their mate. On Blair's 16th birthday, he turned into a woman for the first time (he had been able to turn into a wolf since birth). The Shaman said that since he was a Changeling, he would only be able to have kids in his female form, so his mate would have to be a man, which, according to his tribe, wasn't taboo. What was weird, is that most Changelings weren't Shapeshifters, and none were Guides; also, most Changelings were sterile, so this was a big thing, him being able to have kids. Blair has the idea to have him DNA profiled; you can use whatever reason you want, but his tribe mostly stays away from science, and uses magic instead, so his mother is a bit against it, but goes through with it when he explains his reasons (which can be anything from a vision telling him to do it, or the Shaman saying that it is his path to leave the tribe). When he his profiled, he finds out he is a Guide, so his mate must be a Sentinel. His mother doesn't want him to, but he lists himself as a Guide in the database they have to match up Sentinels and Guides. He also makes a decision on that day (here it, comes another weird part). Knowing that the Sentinel he matches up with will be his mate for life; he decides to wait to have sex until they meet. This is one of my kinks: virgin Blair. For some reason or other (Naomi taking his name off the list, a downed computer, the database Blair's profile is in not being connected to whatever database has Jim's profile in it, whatever you want to use) Jim and Blair don't meet until his 21st birthday. Once they do, and Jim's find out all this, (especially about Blair being a virgin), they talk and a few things come out. They are: Jim never having sex with a guy before, and not wanting to just jump into bed with Blair, seeing as how their first bonding would have to be with Blair as a woman, because of the Changeling thing. Now, another one of my kinks are stories with lots and lots and lots of sex in them, so after they bond as man and woman, they have to bond in a lot of other ways. As another one of my kinks is bestiality, when I say a lot, I mean a lot. The pairings are: man and man (both topping), man and wolf (Blair topping), man and panther (Jim topping, because Jim is the panther, remember, I said he was a Shapeshifter as well, and since his Spirit Guide is the Black Jaguar, well, there you go), Jaguar and woman (Jim topping, of course) and wolf and panther (both topping). Then, of course, they have sex again as man and woman, which is when Blair gets pregnant. How many children, and the circumstances of the birth, and whether or not they are Changelings is up to you (I really don't see a way that they could not be Shapeshifters, with both their parent as them). There are only a few no-no's in this challenge: I am a romantic at heart, and I believe in happily ever after, so...no rape, castration, slavery, or deaths of Jim, Blair, or their future kids, either in the womb or after birth.

SENTINEL: THAT SUMMER CHALLENGE

Okay, so I was listening to a song - this is *NOT* a song-fic challenge, don't worry. I was listening to 'That Summer' by Garth Brooks - it's about a virgin high school grad guy who works for the summer at a farm owned by a widow, and she becomes his first lover. Now, the way the song described the woman reminded me a lot of Jim - strong, stubborn, lonely and needing someone. And I can see Blair taking a summer job on a farm, far from the city, no one else around - and falling in love with the silent, stoic farmer who needs Blair as much as Blair needs him.

*

THE SENTINEL: TRUTH OR DARE CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - Humor/Drama (with a little bit of angst), also, First Times. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Timeframe - any season you want. The challenge is to have everyone in Major Crimes (bonus points for using Megan) play 'Truth or Dare' at the station, and they all agree to answer every question. Use any questions you want, but someone (I think Henri would ask this one) has to ask people to tell when and to who they lost their virginity. When they get to Blair, Jim hears his heart speed up and he tells a story that everyone but Jim believes, and then leaves to get everyone something to drink. Jim follows him, and tells him he knows he lied, and tries to get him to tell the truth. He blusters for several minutes, and when he finally gets tired of it, he tells him he never lost his virginity. (Bonus points for having one, or all of the Detectives in Major Crimes eavesdropping on him). When Jim asks why, have Blair say something along the lines of, 'I started college at sixteen, and all the girls were older than me, and most girls want older guys. I was always younger than the kids in my class.' (Bonus points for having Jim ask about all the women he's dated since Jim knew him, and having Blair say something about his parentage, and Naomi, and not wanting to never know if had any children out there, as his reason) Have Jim and Blair get together, anyway you want, as long as there is no rape, or death in the story.

SENTINEL: VICE CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Jim is still working for Vice, and his newest case is the owner of a gay strip-club that is also prostituting his dancers. Jim goes undercover as a patron on the first night a new dancer shows up. You guessed it, Blair is the stripper! He took the job dancing to make money, and gay bars pay more for male dancers than straight ones. At this time in the story, he has never been with a guy, and thinks of himself as completely straight. He has to be at least 18 (that's the legal age to work in a strip-club), but no more than 21. Jim
can't be more than 26. Jim has also never been with a guy before, but only because he never found someone he was willing to risk losing his job for. He comes in each night for a week, always on stakeout. He's quite taken with Blair, and on the seventh night, he decides to go backstage to see Blair, not to talk to him, basically to be a Peeping Tom. Once he gets back there, he finds the owner of the club trying to talk Blair into taking on a John who is one of his regular customers and really likes virgins. From the conversation, Jim can tell the owner has been asking him this every night, and every night Blair says no and leaves. But on this night, the club owner won't take not for an answer, and ties Blair up while he goes for the client. Since the music in the club is so loud, no one hears Blair's screams for help except Jim. By the time Jim gets to Blair, the owner has brought the john back, and has Blair trussed up, and Blair is hyperventilating, because of what he knows is going to happen (and, he's a virgin) Jim goes into one of those Sentinel rages that we see so often in fanon, and starts to really do a number on the owner and the john, before he either cuffs them, or knocks them out. (Remember, he only has one pair of handcuffs) He lets Blair go, and takes the owner and the john downtown for booking. After Blair gives his statement (and the uniforms make the inevitable comments about how he's lying about not being a prostitute) Jim offers to take him home. When they get to the warehouse, they find out it's burned down, and Blair takes Jim up on his offer to stay at his place. Fast forward a couple weeks (or months, or days, or hours), and Blair decides that he will jump the fence for Jim, so he sneaks into his bed in the middle of the night. Whatever happens after that is up to you, as long as you follow the rules: there is to be no rape or deaths of Jim or Blair, no setting them up with anyone but each other, and they must be together by the end of the story.

*

SENTINEL: VISUAL SENTENCES CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Okay, here are a few 'visual' sentences. Basically what you do with them, is look at them, and write what comes into your head, or write a story incorporating the sentence as something someone says, thinks, or does. (Some may work on the second better than others.)

Sentence 1 - Virgin does not mean submissive. (got this one off a Smallville story summary)

Sentence 2 - It's a well-known fact that gay boys (strip) dance better than straight boys. (Got this one out of Scribe's
'Medley')

Sentence 3 - Fuzzbudget, Blair's stuffed Tribble. (Y'know, like on Star Trek).

Sentence 4 - Jim's toy lightsaber. (Y'know, like on Star Wars)

And finally, sentence 5, a Girl Scout troop - is Jim or Blair the leader...or follower? Can be any timeline on the last one.

Please, no rape or death stories.

SENTINEL: WARLORD CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Timeframe - any time from 1000's to 1800's. William Ellison is a warlord. His son Jim is 21, and he thinks it's high time he got married. He sees what he thinks is a beautiful princess in Naomi's kingdom, and goes to her and tells her that if she does not marry her daughter to his son, he will invade her kingdom. She tries to tell him that she doesn't have a daughter, only a son, Blair, but he won't listen. In order to keep the peace, Blair agrees to the marriage, even knowing that Jim will most likely kill him when he finds out, and he will die a virgin. On the night of the wedding, Naomi casts a spell to make Blair look like a woman, only she casts it wrong, and actually turns Blair into a woman. After the wedding, Jim, who doesn't want to be married, tells Blair that they don't have to consummate the marriage, that they can just live together. Time goes by, and Blair starts to trust Jim, so when Jim tells him about his senses, he tells Jim about the spell. Jim is stunned, and little disappointed, as he had been falling for Blair. Blair, who has also been falling for Jim, and researching a cure for the spell, asks Jim to help him
break it, Blair tells him that he has to have sex as a woman to break the spell. After thinking about it, Jim agrees, 'cause he still has a thing for Blair. They have sex, and Blair doesn't change back, because he is pregnant. A few rules - there is to be no death or rape of Jim, Blair or their future child (or children, your choice), no setting them up with anyone else, and they must be together by the end of the story.

SENTINEL: WHITE SLAVERY CHALLENGE

Fandom - Sentinel. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Blair is a student at Rainier who is kidnapped by white-slavers. Jim is the FBI agent whose last case before he retires is to catch the slavers. They have tracked down the location where the slavers are holding the kidnapped people a week after Blair is taken. The first week, the slavers spend starving their prisoners and only giving them enough water to survive - but the water is drugged. The second week, they rape them, and then sell them. Jim walks in on the slavers as they are about to rape Blair, and manages to stop them, but the shock of almost being raped, coupled with no food, almost no water, and the drugs, cause him to lose his memory. As the FBI has only found half of the slavers, they can't send Blair back home until they catch them (and he doesn't remember who he is, so he doesn't know where he lives anyway), so Jim offers to let Blair stay with him until they catch them. As they live and work together, they start to fall in love, and Blair starts to get his memory back, which causes problems, as Blair remembers that he is a virgin, and Jim has never been with a guy before. They must be together by the end of the story, and there is to be no rape or death of Jim and Blair.

SUPERMAN: MENTAL IMAGES OF THE MAN OF STEEL (From Jane)

Develops 'run' in tights at 50,000', doesn't notice until draft of very cold air gives him a brand new definition for "Blue Balls". Since (as every woman knows) runs that big tend to keep on going, and since his outfit is all a one piece item, he has to find a place to land where A. He has clothes handy, and B.

SUPERMAN: PINK KRYPTIONITE CHALLENGE

According to the trade paperback "Supergirl: Many Happy Returns" written by Peter David, pink kryptonite temporarily made Superman gay. It was just briefly mentioned, but no real story came of it, much to my disappointment.

I challenge the members here to write a fanfic about what Superman did while he was gay. Does he decide to go look up Batman to see if the Cowled Crusader is interested? Or does he try to seduce Jimmy Olsen?

*

TOUCHING EVIL XOVER CHALLENGE

Last weeks ep of TE has haunted me and so I'm coming to you for closure guys. You may remember David watching his children, and saying to his wife he loved them before the accident. That he still loved them. But it was said in such a way as to make me think he was trying to convince himself. He also made some kind of comment about having lost so much of the life he had had before he was shot. My challenge is to take this angsty theme and bring David to a safe place in his feelings. Let him accept what he still has to give his family, and what he can't have with them any longer....

My favorite pairing with David is Krycek of XF, but you may use any character to offer him comfort in what his life is, just want to see him have a less heavy burden in an area of his life he can't fix alone

Knowing what would happen if either one lost or won, Bella convinces a distraught Remy to mutually cancel the wedding. Remy still professes his love to her and denies to ever fall in love with anyone else. Julian manages to somehow get Remy exiled.

In the mean time, the marauders and other things happen to Remy. Bella know everything that is happening to him and strikes out at her brother, and gains control of the assassins guild. Then she proceeds to search for Remy a proper "mate" since due to politics of the guild she cannot be with him.

XOVER: 24/SENTINEL CHALLENGE

I was just thinking... Of course it would have to be set after the 24 hour timeframe. One would have to assume the final resolution would be Jack saves Palmer, his family is safe, maybe Palmer is president... All is resolved at the FBI and Jack has his career back on track.

Then he has a case that takes him to Cascade and meets Jim - the evil-Kevin look-a-like (previously known as Alan York). What do you suppose his reaction would be? Jack could only be involved in a slash scene with the boys if Teri is assumed to have died somewhere along the way, because Jack's dedication to her and making their marriage work is a basic tenent of the character...

What do you think?

*

XOVER: ANITA BLAKE/BUFFY

It's a Book/Show challenge

If you've read the Anita Blake I'd (Caliadragon) prefer that it be that. However it doesn't have to be. Now to the challenge.

Oz and Xander have lost everyone in Sunnydale. Buffy has married Riley and left slaying and the Hell mouth behind her. She and Dawn are know living in New York with the ex-soldier. Willow has gone to England with Giles and Kennedy and broken off contact with any reminders of Sunnyhell.

Spike and Andrew are a couple and live with Angel in LA with the rest of the LA crew. For some reason, you can chose what, Xander was thrown out of their group for his own good; but it ended up ripping everyone apart from one another.

Now here's where the book crossover comes into play.

While traveling Oz and Xander meet up and decide to travel together instead of alone. Oz has complete control over his beast and Xander isn't plauged by his previous possesions. They can't be anything more than a back story.

In the process of their travels they come across the character or characters of your chosen book and save one of their lives. The one they save decides to keep them and takes them home. There Oz and Xander find their experiences as slayerettes help their new friends and ultimatly lead to who they end up loving. Also Xander must have a power that only Oz, Spike and Angel ever knew about.

Must also have a nekkid and wet Xander/Oz at some point.

The opening line is:

"We should never have taken you on."

XOVERS: CSI/PRETENDER: NICK AS A PRETENDER

The Pretender. Nick says that he came from Texas, youngest of 7, blah blah... what if he weren't? What if Nick had been raised in the Centre... with Jarod? What if Nick had escaped/been released and built a new life in Vegas or maybe he travelled for a while before settling in L.V? Maybe Jarod would want to look him up... maybe saw the "Crimestopper" article on Nick.

XOVER: FIREFLY/STARHUNTER

First is anyone watching the show Starhunter? It is kind of the direct opposite of Firefly, in that the captain (Michael Pare') is a bounty hunter

Now lovely man that he is, he's stuck on a ship with two women, ...Anyway the captain is kind of sloppy in that he gets emotionally involved with his target so I'm thinking this guy could be assigned to track and capture our man Simon... Or Book...Or Mal....Or Jayne...Heck even Wash if you're of a mind. And if you're of the general fic minded, let him be tracking lady River...Zoe...Kylie...Doesn't matter to me, just wanna see the poor guy get off ....the ship, guys...the ship...(g)

XOVERS: MAN FROM UNCLE/XFILES: TWO RUSSIANS CHALLEGE

Still thinking along the lines of the ever so desirable showcased Alex K, I was reading through some DTs and it occurred to me that Illya and Alex would make an adorable couple grappling in the sand, so here's the idea....Some sort of Russian holiday celebrated on the beach, lots of lovely ocean to sit and gaze out at, and the lovely assassin stumbles upon the little blonde agent...some small talk...some interests click...like lips, fingers touching, stroking, meshing in a gentle clasp...
you get the pic...draw it for me in words

THE OTHER GM'S SENTINEL/ACTION X-OVER CHALLENGE

Basic Premise: Cole Riccardi's career is not as damaged by coming out as Peter Dragon expected. He's in Cascade location shooting a new movie. But he is getting death threats, so he personally requests Our Heroes to investigate.
After the death threats are followed by an attack that comes a little too close for comfort, Jim impersonates Cole, with Blair's cover as the actor's lastest toyboy. And of course, pretending to be in love with Blair forces Jim to face the fact that he isn't pretending...

As for the inexplicable resemblance, introduction scene:
Blair stared. The resemblance really was uncanny. If not for the goatee, the slightly more hair, and the fact that Jim wouldn't be caught dead in a pink shirt... The actor crossed the room and threw his arms around the sentinel in an effusive hug. "Jimmy! I've missed you, little brother!"
"Little brother?" Blair repeated, in shock.
Cole turned to face him. "Cole Riccardi is a stage name." He explained, rolling his eyes with a boyish grin. "I'm Richard Ellison. You must be Blair Sandburg, you're Jimmy's ~partner~?"
Jim folded his arms over his chest. "The ~cop~ kind of partner, Rich, we aren't ~that~ identical."

You can angst it up that 'Cole' being thrown out and disowned when William caught him with another football player instead of a cheerleader as what taught Jim that difference is death and why he repressed his sentinel senses...among other things, for the purpose of this fic. Also want to point out that my use of Richard has nothing to do with RB...just seemed to fit as a 'real name' for Cole Riccardi...Riccardi being a version of Richard in foreign.
Also, at the end, since J/B would be together, I'd think it made a nice irony to have Cole involved with a Original Female Character, or Megan. With the dialogue: "I thought he was gay." "He's easily confused." (sorry. Cole didn't seem the brightest bulb in the lamp, know what I mean?)
Shrug. Fanfic equivalent of leaving it at the end of the driveway with a "free" sign on it. There it is, for what it's worth.

XOVER: SENTINEL/DUE SOUTH/EARLY EDITION

Fandom - Sentinel/Due South/Early Edition Crossover. Category - AU,
Crossover. Pairing - Jim and Blair, Fraser and whichever Ray you want, Gary and whoever you want. OK, to start - both Early Edition and Due South are set in Chicago. My idea is that there's a law enforcement conference in Chicago that Jim and Blair have to attend. While there, they meet Fraser and whichever Ray you are using. Only, something goes wrong (terrorists taking over the hotel where the conference is taking place, a bomb, a serial killer, whatever) that Gary knows about and Jim (using his senses/spirit vision thing) sees that cat that brings Gary the paper and follows it to Gary, who explains about the paper and they (all five of them) save the day. Bonus points fro having Fraser talk to Diefenbaker (his wolf) about the cat that brings Gary's paper, and including Chuck. By the end of the story, all of the different players must have met. Please, no rape or death stories.

XOVER: SENTINEL/HIGHLANDER

This is an AU from the point of 'Sentinel, Too' onwards. Alex is Immortal. Once she meets Blair, she realizes he is pre-Immortal, and thinks he would make the perfect Guide once she kills him. Thus, the fountain. But before that, she meets Jim, and realizes he is also Immortal (he died in Peru). After they get back from Sierra Verde, a new teacher comes to Rainier: it can be either Duncan or Methos, or both, even. They realize that Blair and Jim are Immortal and tell them what they are. Three rules - there is to be no rape or beheading of Jim, Blair, Duncan, or Methos, and the two couples must be together by the end of the story (no foursomes).

Meanwhile, Thor (of the Asgards) accidentally gets stranded in Cascade, and Blair ends up helping him 'phone home'. He calls Cheyenne mountain, of course, and he and Jim take him to meet SG-1 in Colorado. Bonus point for making Jim and Blair, and/or Jack and Daniel Immortals. By the end of the story, all of the different players must have met. Please, no rape or (permanent) death stories.

Blair was a Pretender when he was younger, but Catherine Parker warned Naomi, and she managed to get Blair away from being taken by the Center. They moved so much because she wanted to make sure they never found them. Once TSByBS happens, both Raines and Jarod see it. Raines sends someone (he has an operative named Gar) to stalk Blair, thinking that a Pretender and a Sentinel would make the Triumvirate let him take over for Mr. Parker. Jarod goes undercover as your choice: a cop, a teacher at Rainier, an FBI agent, or something else, to watch over Blair. Two rules - there is to be no rape or deaths of Jim, Blair, Miss Parker or Jarod, and Jim and Blair (and Jarod and Miss Parker, if you want) must be together by the end of the story.

*

XOVER: SENTINEL/PRETENDER/STARGATE

Fandom - Sentinel/Stargate/Pretender Crossover. Category - First Times, Crossover. Pairing - Jim and Blair, Jack and Daniel (and Jarod and Miss Parker, if you want). Both Blair and Daniel were Pretenders (Daniel's parents accident was caused by the Centre, they hoped to have one of their operatives adopt him). Naomi left home when she got pregnant, because her father wanted Mr. Raines and his wife to adopt her baby. Raines' wife warned Naomi, and helped her run. Blair and Daniel met at Rainier; they roomed together because they were the same age. Fast forward to the present, after the press conference. Daniel sees the press conference, and convinces General Hammond to offer Blair (and Jim) jobs. But Raines and Jarod also see the press conference.

XOVER: BUFFY/HARRY POTTER

So this is a plot up for adoption
Severus Snape and Sirius Black hate each other - or do they? Their passionate attacks on each other in the books lie in the fact that while their words were venomous, their feelings were just as passionate and they had an affair - hot, steamy, and full of passion! Come October 1981 Severus Snape ends up in Azkaban as a Death Eater until Dumbledore can free him while Black is also in Azkaban. Snape is freed and works for his redemption not knowing that Sirius has given birth to their son while in prison. The Ministry not trusting Snape to look after the child, and believing he would definitely be dark if raised by any of the Black family, send the boy to an orphanage overseas.

To the Sunnydale orphanage on the Hellmouth so the baby, evil already in the Ministry's of Magic's View, will not be able to use his magical abilities for evil ends as the Hellmouth interferes with any Potterverse type Wizards being about to use magic at all, twisting it. And the Ministry curses the baby as well so if he leaves the Hellmouth for any reason he will end up having to go back soon due to an awful run of bad luck. The baby boy is adopted by Jessica and Tony Harris The magical fallout from the closing of the Hellmouth causes all the spells in the surrounding area to break, including the ones on Severus and Sirius's son. Xander beings to leak so much Magic that Giles sends Willow with Xander back to the coven in England to see if they can help train him. Xander is all of a sudden too powerful and Giles has no time to for training Xander while he has to deal with all the Slayers.

On arriving in England the coven sends Xander to Hogwarts to talk to Dumbledore Meanwhile Severus is given a folder of papers from Arthur Weasley, recently promoted to Minister of Magic and just finding out about Severus and Sirius' son but believes he is dead as he was cursed to stay on the Hellmouth which has now been closed.

So the challenge to you is to tell us what happens next? With credit for Sandra Delete for first writing of Sev being Xander's Dad.Please someone do this? or a variation?

XOVER: EARTH FINAL CONFLICT/FIREFLY

How about a crossover of E:FC (Earth: Final Conflict) and Firefly?

It can be a drama, but I would prefer a humor.

Drabbles, scenes, or an entire novel length story. Doesn't matter, I would love to see what you come up with.

Just to get your juices flowing, an interesting corolation between the two is the word Companion:

Companions in E:FC are Taelons, aliens. They are part of a group of energy beings bound by a central mind like the internet, they speak with large words for english is not their native tongue thus use more than basic terms.

In Firefly universe, they are whores, high class call girls and boys. They get to pic and choose their clients, and they take very good care of themselves. A ship can go almost no where with-out one on their roster.

So get typing me little winged monkeys, type my pretties, TYPE!!!

Cotton candy, snow cones and hot dogs would be a nice touch, says he who would see this story created.

*

XOVER: RANMA/XENA:

Ranma is Joxer reborn. If there was ever anyone who deserved to be a
hero and a warrior it is definitely Joxer(Ranma is no longer a
martial artist. Killing Saffron made him a warrior).

The Greek gods are dead/asleep/imprisoned etc [possibly just the
House of Aggression (This includes the House of Love) this would give
them a chance to escape what happened to the other gods. Its possible
that they are merely in a voluntary form of sleep/hibernation and
have been dreaming of what has been happening in the world, unlike
the rest of the gods. The ones who survived were forced into
hibernation, and not all of them survived it, being unprepared for
it. This is just a suggestion, an interesting one, but you don't have
to use it.] You come up with the reason why and the back story


Joxer was destined to be Ares' Mate/Consort etc… but what happened to
the gods interfered, and Joxer died, however you want him to,
possibly of old age.

Ranma's defeat of Saffron finished waking Ares. The process was
started with the world wars. Upon waking Ares sets about waking the
rest of his House, and discovering what it is that woke him ahead of
schedule.

He follows the energy signature the Ranma left behind 3when he killed
saffron and finds Ranma/Joxer, after the failed wedding attempt.

What happens after that is up to you. (to deal with the whole Ares is
male thing, Ranma might just be Bisexual, or it could be the female
side of his curse kicking in. Do you really think he would let his
father even begin to suspect the he was? Come on Ranma's not stupid,
plus I don't think that he has trusted Genma since the whole Nekoken
thing. Not to mention the other truly boneheaded training stunts that
you just know Genma has pulled. Ares finding out about the Nekoken
should be amusing. Please include what he does the Genma.)

XOVER: SENTINEL/STAR TREK, TNG

Fandom - Sentinel/Star Trek Crossover. Category - AU. Pairing - Jim and Blair. Blair is half Betazoid (you choose which half - his mother or his father). As he is half Betazoid, he has empathic, telepathic and telekinetic powers. As part of his mental powers, he must telepathically bond with his mate, and he can only do this once, through sex. Therefore, he can't have sex until he finds his mate. He studies xenothropology (anthropology of alien cultures) at Starfleet Academy, and goes on vacation to a remote planet. On this planet, he is harassed by aliens (you pick what kind) and rescued by Jim, a Captain in Starfleet who is also on vacation. When Jim zones in the middle of fighting off the aliens, Blair rescues him, and they spend the rest of their vacation together, studying Jim's abilities. At the end, Jim requests that Blair start working for him, and he does. Once on board ship, they start dating and Blair explains the bonding to him, and how he is still a virgin, and Jim tells him that he's never been with a guy before, and they bond. After they bond, they start thinking about the future, and, since this is the future, they decide to have kids. Yes, this is an m-preg challenge! Two rules - there is to be no rape or death of Jim and Blair, and they must be together by the end of the story.

XOVER: THE SENTINEL/STARGATE:


The pairings are Jim/Blair and Jack/Daniel. This is an AU, and M-preg, but for those of you want to accept my challenge, and don't like/write m-preg, you can leave that part out. To start: Blair graduated from High School at age twelve (not sixteen, as in canon). He then went on to college to earn a quadruple (yes, that's four) PhD by age twenty. The degrees are in anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. You pick the fourth degree - a good one is psychology (he did minor in that, in canon).

When this story starts he is 22, and still a virgin, as he spent all his time studying. (Besides, if he was in college at age twelve, anyone who had sex with would have breaking the law, and by the time he was 18, everyone in his classes would have been much older than him, and most girls want older guys.) Jim never left the army.

Whether or not the crash in Peru ever actually happened is up to you, but he is still in the army when this story takes place. This story should pick up a few weeks (or months, if you prefer) after Jim has been recruited to the Stargate program. (Daniel and Jack are already lovers) Have his senses come on-line (as a result of being stranded off-world, going through the Stargate eventually wore down his senses, in response to being shot by a Goa'uld weapon, whatever you like) and have Daniel call his old friend and college roommate, Blair. (They roomed together as no one else would room with him since he was so young, and they had mutual interests. Daniel calls him because he knew of Blair's Sentinel research, and suspects he can help Jim)

Blair comes to the base to see Jim, and when he shows up, Jack thinks someone stole `Professor Sandburg's' ID, because Blair looks almost underage (he has shoulder-length curls), so trouble ensues (whatever kind you want) but Daniel rescues him in the nic of time, and Blair shows up Jack in front General Hammond, by bringing Jim out of a zone. After that, Blair is recruited to the Stargate program, to be Jim's Guide, and they become lovers, because as Sentinel and Guide, they have to bond. Blair doesn't mention this at first, because he thinks Jim is straight (which he is), but gradually they fall in love.

This next part is the m-preg part, and if you don't want to include this, then have them have sex, and end the story.

The first planet Blair goes to, he and Daniel get into an accident, and the locals and fix them up (the accident can be whatever kind you want, as long as they have to have blood transfusions) The locals transfuse them with some of their own blood, which has an interesting side-effect - it turns Blair and Daniel into women. They can control the change, but as this all happened for the first time while they were under anesthetic, when they wake up, they are female. (Whether or not the locals of this planet normally have this ability to change sex at will is up to you.) Blair freaks out, and Jim tries to calm him down, but you have Blair say something to the effect of, "Well, now that I'm a woman, I guess you'll finally want to have sex with me." (Up until this point, they have not had sex, because they are both nervous, Blair being a virgin, and Jim never having slept with a guy before) This leads to lots of talking (before Blair finds out he can change). Daniel and Jack also have a similar conversation, but without as much angst, since they are already in an established relationship. After they find out that they aren't female premanently, Blair decides he doesn't want to give up changing.

The reason he gives is that it `Might be fun' and it could `Help them get out of tight spots on missions.' Daniel decides to think about it a bit more. Jim isn't happy, especially since Blair seems to recant his former statement, and wants to have sex as a woman. Jack thinks it might be interesting, and isn't having as big a freak-out of it as Jim is. After this, whatever happens is up to you, but Jim must have sex with Blair as a woman at least once (and not just because Blair wants it, Jim has to want it too) and Blair becomes pregnant. Daniel also decides he wants that, too, and he also gets pregnant. The pregnancies, and the babies are entirely your invention. There are a few no-no's in this challenge, however: no rape, death or torture of Jim, Blair, Jack, Daniel, Sam, Teal'c, or the babies. Also, no having anyone cheat on anyone else. This should be a happy story, but you can put as much angst in it as you want. If you decided to accept my challenge, please e-mail at SciFiCatGirl18@aol.com and let me know, as I would like to read it.

SENTINEL/STARGATE:

In this bunny Jim would be a mighty space Lord and he would be the host of Goua´uld Enqueri. Blair would be his Nox lover (you know - the non-violent type) and Simon his Prime Jaffa. I would like to see the SG-1 meet the Enqueri lord who doesn´t want to have anything in common neither with the System Lords nor with Tok´ra. He just follows the "let me be and I´ll let you live" rule. How would the team react to this unusual Goua´uld and his even more unusual Nox lover? Oh - and no Jonas in this bunny.

XOVER: SENTINEL/STARGATE/ONE WEST WAIKIKI/FRASIER/MACGYVER

Fandom - Sentinel/Stargate/One West Waikiki/Frasier/MacGyver Crossover. Category - Crossover. Pairing - Jim and Blair, Jack and Daniel, Mack and Holly, and whoever you want to put together from the other shows. Okay, the premise of this challenge is simple. RB played both Jim Ellison and Mack Wolfe. Jack O'Neill and MacGyver were also played by the same guy, and Garrett Maggart played Blair Sandburg and some guy named Bruce on Frasier. What would happen if those characters all met? Blair meets Bruce, Mack meets Jim, Jack meets MacGyver (forgive me, I haven't watched the last three shows listed under 'Fandom', I don't know mush about them.) Do with this what you will, but please, no threesomes, and no rape or death stories.

STARGATE SG-1: DITZY'S MALE PREGNANCY SG-1 CHALLENGE

Jack and Daniel (swoon) are lovers, and the SGC team goes on a mission to a planet. There they encounter what seems to be a very peaceful race. They are invited to a dinner in their honor, because the inhabitants of the planet think they are gods (they think Daniel {drool} is in charge of Teal'c, Jack, and Sam, who are lower gods). As they feast, Daniel is given a drink, and without really thinking about it, drinks it (I'm thinking he thinks it tastes like JackDaniel's........ hehehehehehehehehe.......) Anyway, he seems to have no reaction to the concoction. Just as the team's about to go back through the stargate back to earth, Daniel collapses. Jack picks him up (swoon again) and carries him through the stargate.

Once there, he checks out basically ok, and goes home. Well, later that night, Jack and Daniel get happy.....*****really**** happy. The next morning, when Daniel goes back to the doc for a check-up.......he finds out something pretty startling...... HE'S PREGNANT!!!!!!! Of course, the child would be from him and Jack.....don't get me wrong, he's physically (ahem) all there as a guy, but he just somehow happens to be pregnant, which of course REALLY baffles everyone.

Okay, and now Jack and Daniel have to...you know......change their relationship a bit (maybe). I'm also a sentimentalist, so this is just an afterthought: It's a boy, and when Jack asks Daniel what he wants to name the baby, Daniel says one word: Charlie.....

TALK TO THE ANIMALS CHALLENGE

In this one, have you character suddenly develop the ability to communicate or control animals to one degree or another?

TEDDY CHALLENGE

Going through one of the mailing list group digests a thread has caught my eye and inspired a TEDDY challenge. This will only work for a het or slash pairing, I think, because it's directed at the male member of the het couple...anyway..the challenge. Get one of your boys, or the lady, to convince thier partner to model some extremely...seductive woman's undies...Or just wear it in a scene.

THE THERMOMETER CHALLENGE

This one came in from Stormwolf Dawn....gotta love her
Its a simple challenge that one can answer in any story they are currently working on, and I dare any of you to try it. Really.
Premise: very simple but weird.
Someone...be it Blair, Rafe, Simon, an OFC, has to for some reason or another take Jim's temperature rectally...yes you read right... rectally. Don't ask me why it should be done, but there it is.
There's only one catch....it can't be because Jim is a baby or child, and it can't be part of a BDSM scene, or play scene. It has to be for real. Think you can handle it....I know you can.

TIM: ARNAUD DOES THE BOYS CHALLENGE

I would like a Arnaud(sp?)/Bobby/Darien pairing. (So to speak.) I would like Darien to have budding feelings for Bobby and is about to tell Bobby so. Bobby does not notice this, but Arnaud does.

TIME TRAVEL/REVENGE CHALLENGE

In shows like 7 days/Dr Who/Time Trax/Time Tunnel the characters go around righting the wrong direciton of time...either by taking out criminals who went into the past to hide, or righting the wrong directions taken in the time stream. Fine for the time present, but what of the time future?

Do a story where someone from the future comes back to give them a little of what they're giving...Time traveler Vs time traveler..

Have fun writing.

WHAT WOMEN WANT

From Catwoman:
Thinking about the new movie 'What Women Want,' I had a great idea for a challenge--using your own favorite fandom and characters, make it so that one character can, for some reason, hear the thoughts of others when they relate to attraction (like Mel Gibson's character in the new movie), and make that lead to a steamy romance that might have otherwise not been realized. ;)

WILDER XANDER CHALLENGE

Has anyone else read "The Wheel of Time", by Robert Jordan? In that series, there are two kinds of people who are capable of magic. One sort have the ability but can only realise it if trained. The other sort, known as "wilders" exhibit powers independently from an early age, and are often many, many times more powerful than the other variety.

What if Xander WAS a wilder? and it ran in his family? Could his parents have turned their backs on the rest of the family and changed their names thinking that they would not be affected by it? could they have had Xander sheilded against using his powers? what would happen if in a life or death situation (Buffy's, Willow's, Spike's, Giles', or his own) his power comes out. would he run? or just accept it and continue on in his life? would he find a teacher or a teacher end up coming to him? Use this if you want. (I only come up with the ideas and basic outline can't get over the hurdle of writing yet.) And yes I know that there are other fics out there like this but this plot bunny interested me.

X-OVER: A XANTH/BUFY XOVER CHALLENGE

From AdoptAPlotBunny
I seem to have lost my plot bunny. I was feeding him, and he jumped out of the cage! Now, he's running rampant, and I don't know what to do.
You see, he was born when I noticed how...um...resiliant Xander was to being knocked on the head with hammer during "Triangle" considering he is a normal human. Then one thing led to another, and you know how PB's breed...
Anyway, this one is a Xanth/Buffy crossover with:

Xander as a Bink-like character
B/X
Anya encountering a harpy and making conversation
Twinkie Trees (or Ho-Ho Bushes)
A meeting with the King of Xanth (Any of them...)

A van
Xander annoying an ogre
At least two Scoobies (and that can include Xander) going to Xanth
A retired person who got caught in Xanth

X-OVER: BUFFY/IN THE COMPANY OF MIND X CHALLENGE

Write a slash crossover story using Buffy and the book In the Company of Mind by Steven Piziks.

Summery of book:
The Voices in his mind were facets of himself-except for one…..As the son of a billionaire, Lance Michaels Blackstone seems to have it all- his own VR rig, a personal bodyguard, a luxurious mansion. But the Blackstone fortune is a mask for horror. Jonathan Blackstone uses his son as
1. A guinea pig in illegal medical experiments and punishes Lance when the experiments go wrong. Lance's
2. Mother Meredeth knows what's going on, but does nothing to stop it. And Lance loses chunks of time. Days or even weeks sometimes pass while he sleeps. He finds himself in strange places with no memory of how he got there. Odd objects show up in his room and he has no idea where they come from. Total strangers treat him like a close friend. Voices argue inside his head. And then one of the voices speaks directly to Lance, a voice that claims to be an artificial intelligence. After Lance escapes his father's clutches, Jonathan Blackstone mounts a worldwide manhunt to bring him back, a manhunt Lance has always managed to elude- until now. When Lance is tricked into boarding a space station owned by Blackstone Industries, he is forced to confront his past and the secrets buried in his own mind.
Only requirement: Use Xander as Lance Michaels Blackstone (character from the book)

X-OVER: DALTON SPENCER'S GALAXY QUEST/OTHER X-OVER

I just saw the movie "Galaxy Quest" last Saturday, and as I watched the fan convention scenes this very simple but extremely versatile xover idea popped in my head. (For those of you who haven't seen it yet, I urge you to do so quickly: it's great fun and well worth the price of admission.) Choose one or more of your favorite television characters who live in the present day. (I would have said the 20th century but I didn't want to get into the "millenium's end" debate.) Make this person (or persons) a closet Questarian (GQ fan) attending the final con in the movie incognito. Have them witness the movie's "grand finale" and react to this astonishing event in their own unique way(s). Voila, instant xover! For maximum humor, have two or more characters from the same TV show go to the con separately and secretly, only to encounter each other *in full costume* on the way to the con's masquerade contest to do a skit.

Here are a few more GQ xover ideas targeted to the lists I've CC'ed.

Seven Days: The social and political implications of the movie's very public "grand finale" threaten national security, so Frank Parker makes a Backstep to have a team ready to put a coverup in place.

Angel: Cordelia has a vision that she interprets as a conventioneer being attacked be a squid-like demon. When Angel arrives at the con he discovers that Cordy had it backward; an innocent alien (Laliari, the *girl* "Tech Sgt. Chen" brought home) is attacked by costumed vampire. Since her race believes that all TV programs are historical documents, she quickly (and accurately) sizes up the problem, and tries to get her newfound friends to join Angel's fight against the forces of darkness.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Same as above, replacing Angel with Buffy and Cordy's vision with an ambiguous prophecy Giles finds.

Charmed: Same as with Angel, with Phoebe's vision replacing Cordy's, the Halliwell sisters replacing Angel et. al. and a demon or warlock replacing the vampire.

Relic Hunter: Sydney Fox goes to the con in search of a rare piece of GQ memorabilia, and finds more than she bargained for.

Roswell: Maria Deluca goes to the con to help her mother sell her Roswell themed souvenirs in the dealer's room. After recognizing the "grand finale" was *not* just a publicity stunt, she tries to contact the cast to see if they have met Any "Czechoslovakians" out there. Fortunately her mother has some connections; *unfortunately* a very familiar FBI agent is also lurking around.

X-OVER: DRAGONFIRE/BUFFY CHALLENGE

Write a crossover story using the characters from Buffy the Vampire slayer and set have the story Take place in Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.

XOVER: THE GREAT JIM SWITCH

What if Jim Ellison somehow traded bodies with another famous Jim? Jim Kirk, Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Olson, Jiminy Cricket . . . the possibilities are endless.

X-OVER: HAWKBROTHER XANDER CHALLENGE

I would like someone to try and create a crossover fic featuring Xander becoming a hawkbrother for a period of time(hopefully no less than 1 year) in The Heralds of Valdemar series.

X-OVER: THE MUMMY RETURNS GOES IMMORTAL

From TheMummyPlusSlashAndChat
A crossover story.
It can be set around the times of the movies, 3000 years ago, now or future.
It can have any or all of the movie characters in it. If you are wondering about the past just think how Imhotep would get along with a 5000 year old immortal who use to call himself Death. Also all those vampires.
Rick having a run in with anther Templar Knight, who just happens to be blonde with deep blue eyes. Alex getting his life saved but an Angel with fangs. Jonathan having his pocket picked by a lady with a sword. The posabildes are endless.
Well, what ya think?

X-OVER: POWER RANGERS MEET THE X-MEN CHALLENGE

From CreativeFanFicWriters:
Something that would either have them join forces, or that a mutant becomes a Power Ranger, or A Power Ranger discovers his/her own mutant powers.
Ratings as situations warrant. Slash may be possible - idea hasn't germinated enough for me yet.

X-OVER: THE SECOND SENTINEL

The basic plot is a crossover with Due South. Which has Fraser as another sentinel based on the following evidence (among other stuff)

Victoria as rouge guide. She's got that "pull" and we know she's got the "most beautiful voice."
Erik says, "That's what I am. I'm a tracker and a GUIDE."---He had a guide when he was a little boy (along the lines of Incacha)

There's been several similar crossovers, but I don't think anyone has used these lines of evidence.

X-OVER: WHITE KNIGHT OF LA MANCHA

From AdptAPlotBunny
-Xander, for some reason or another (frustration-caused insanity, hit to the head, whatever) develops "Don Quixote Syndrome". In other words, he goes bonkers and starts seeing things the way they are not.
Includes some of these:
-A scene with his true love (whoever you pick) in which he asks for a 'favor' ( a little rememberance).
-Battle with a mailbox
-Battle with something the sane people think is normal but turns out to be a demon. (bonus points if it's a toaster)
-a spoon being used as a weapon
-a sidekick to Xander. A Sancho to his Don.
-A horse
-the phrase "Thou shalt not escape my wrath, oh foul and odious thing!" followed by "No! I will not buy a new (blank)!"
-a happy ending (no sad ending like in the novel!)
-Xander ending up with his true love
-he can stay insane if you want.

X-OVER: XENA(OR BUFFY)/INCARNATIONS OF IMMORTALITY X CHALLENGE

Write a xover story using Xena and or Buffy, and the Incarnations of Immortality series.

MAN FROM UNCLE FOUNDATION

Fandom: Man From U.N.C.L.E.

Pairing: Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon Solo/ofc, Illya Kuryakin/ofc?

Rating: pre-slash to First Time, spanning a number of years

Details/Summary: Napoleon is sitting in for Mr. Waverly for a week (or so) and Illya goes on a super-secret, eyes only type mission to Yugoslavia with Janus as on-site backup and Napoleon on-pen backup.

A file comes across Waverly/Napoleon's desk (there was a time-related mix-up and the file's yearly update was completed ahead of usual schedule, and while AW is gone); when NS reviews it, he finds that it documents the lives of his supossedly deceased wife and their supposed-to-not-exist children; wife must have been preggers when she 'died'. The yearly updates appear to all have been done on the twins' birthday (perhaps this was faciliated by having a promotional drawing at the hospital where wife delivered and the winner recieves free birthday pictures for 20 or 25 years).

In complete shock, NS goes through the file w/ a fine toothed comb looking for reasons for the deception that it's now apparent that Waverly engineered. NS finds AW's own notes describing the housefire and how he and wife could each be detained and kept seperated and told the other perished in the fire. AW also expressed that he disliked this coarse of action, but NS couldn't be recruited any other way and AW WOULD recruit NS; he couldn't let that much desparately needed talent get away.

With all this boiling over in his mind, NS completely forgets that Illya was due to check in (but has been betrayed by Janus) and resigns and heads off to regain his family, so that when IK finally gets through, NS isn't there to give approval for a rescue mission inside the Soviet Union and a girl is killed. (Since IK and NS were only nanoseconds away from consumation of their relationship, the girl probably should be a sisterly damsel-in-distress, and though one of my kinks IS two guys and one girl, I don't know how happy the girl would be getting taken home to meet the male lover she'll be sharing her man with. It was the 60s in an Iron Curtain country, after all.) Illya is completely lost as to why NS resigned without a word to him and can't get any answers from AW, so he resigns and goes into fashion design.

Then, several years later we see NS getting news that the family is dead. I've never been completely sure how they should die, but it should be something that isn't caused by U.N.C.L.E. and would be hard for even the most suspicous person to attribute to U.N.C.L.E.. (Earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, and wild animal attack are some ideas that I had.)

That leaves NS, another few years later, at loose ends and wandering the casino waiting for his pen to go off, per the beginning of Return of the Man From U.N.C.L.E.

It also explains why NS still has the pen and hasn't had U.N.C.L.E. mind-wiped from him; AW might have felt guilty enough (I know I'm reaching :) ) to not drag NS in for the mind-wipe. To my mind NS seemed a tad more at ease back in harness than IK did and that could be because IK had a little help in forgetting the details of U.N.C.L.E. agent-life, though I'm not sure how that would work on IK's eididtc(sp?) memory; maybe that's why IK remembers as much as he does.

After the Return affair is over, NS and IK have a clearing of the air and slowly put their romantic relationship back on track.

Other Notes: This story requires at least an acceptance of the Return Movie and helps explain why two guys so obviously meant for each other split up and lost touch so completely. Also probably needs to be set in the original era to really work for motivation, etc., though I'm willing to be proven wrong on this.

Warnings: There are more where this came from, in varied fandoms; I tend to plot epics in fairly detailed summaries and then not be able to follow through with the actual writing. This particular plot bunny has been hanging around since shortly after the Return Movie first aired; it's getting kinda grumpy. You have been warned. :) Susan ( sjrSpike@yahoo.com ) requests that if you use her foundation you send her a copy as she would really like to read he end result.

SEAQUEST GOES HOLLYWOOD

From AdultSeaquest
To improve public perceptions of the UEO, its navy in particular, the top brass has decided to allow a bunch of Hollywood hot shots to make a movie on seaQuest, and allowing them to choose members of the crew as actors if they so wish.
Well, everyone on the ship is excited -- everyone except Tim O'Neill & another character of your choice. The last thing they want or need is all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Well, ironically, once the director gets onto the boat, who else does he want as his lead but that same Tim O'Neill ;p
This can be either slash or het - works either way. You can either make it a "the magic onscreen spills out onto their off-screen lives" love affair, or a jealousy thing at seeing the object of one's affections kissing another ;p
BONUS POINTS:
Having the movie be in some way related to a tv show/movie that one of the sQ actors has taken part in (e.g. Jaws 2020, Joxer's Revenge, Submarine Sidekicks - just a few silly ideas ;p)
Option:
I eventually plan on finishing my own version of this (I haven't even started yet since I came up with the idea while waking up this morning), so either you can do your own version to your own specs, OR you can team up with me in writing my version (in which the director happens to be Mack O'Neill, Tim's older brother who's a cross between Sam Raimi & Jace).

THE SENTINEL: BLUE LAGOON FOUNDATION

I have this idea about Jim/Blair from the sentinel. They often have planecrash (I would never fly with these guys), so I think this can get a little bit boring. So I think they should have a shipcrash, and yes they are the only survivors, and yes there is an island. But not a tropical one. I think more a island like on the Canadian coast. Real difficult to survival. (not a snappy story, uff, is this the right word?) They haven´t much saved from the ship. So they must make something from nothing. I think they go to a rock (cave?). Yep, and Jim are making spears with knifes (you know, a little bit like the new movie with Tom Hanks ) And Jim goes hunting. (have I already mention, that I love jungle Jim?? ) . And the nights are really cold. So they cuddle together under the animal furs . Sex? Not yet I think, I am not for the easy way out.

Both of them go more and more primal in my little fantasy. Maybe Jim can carving some brooch (???) for Blair. (now I am snappy) You know; I see them together outside their little cave, the sun is shining, Blair sitting on a stone, fitting something, and Jim looks to him, see the sunlight in his hear and thinks how beautiful he is. This could be the right time for the sex part. I love long stories, where the boys struggle and have difficult emotions. And I love Jim sniffling Blair.

SENTINEL: CURSED BLAIR

This is not AU, technically, since it starts out in the original Sentinel universe, but what happens after can be considered AU. Now, Blair has been living with Jim for at least a year, maybe more if you want. Blair is under a curse where he turns into a woman (yeah, I know it reminds you of Gillian Middleton's story, but wait! It is different) every night of the full moon. (See! I told you it would be different). On the night of the new moon, he changes halfway. By halfway I mean that he has female breasts and er...well, stuff...you know, 'reproductive equipment,' along with a guy's...er...dangly bits, and a prostate. (Also, in his female form, he still has a prostate. He might as well get something of this.) Now, he's been doing this since he turned 13 (puberty and all) and so he's researched it quite a bit, including the way to end the curse, which, in itself is unique. To break the cruse, he has to have sex with a guy in his female form (on the night of the full moon), and then in his halfway form (on the night of the new moon, but only after he has sex with a guy in his female form.) Also, he has to have sex, first with his female parts, then with his male parts on both nights. (This is where the prostate comes in.) Once he does, he will be able to change at will to any degree he wants. One of the things he found in his research was an account of the last known male in his family to have this curse, as Blair was the only male born into the family in...let's say...the last 50 years. This guy, when he was about 35, had a lover, who was willing to help him break the curse, only, when they had sex together, they used a condom. It didn't work. So the guy hypothesized that if they wanted to break the curse, they couldn't use a condom, and they tried it that way and it worked. He didn't get pregnant, because he was too old. At this point in Blair's life, he is in his mid-twenties, so he could get pregnant. Now, here's where it gets a little more AU. When Blair first started changing, he decided to wait, 'cause he didn't know what would happen if he tried to have sex. When he found this guy's journal, and read his account of the whole changing thing, he realized that whoever he found to break the curse would have to be someone he trusted, since it was possible he could get pregnant. (And we all know that Blair has trust issues) Since he realized that if he got pregnant, he'd want to at least keep in touch with the guy, so the baby would know both of its parents (remember, he doesn't even know who his father is, and it seems to me that he'd want any child of his to know both their parents), he also wanted to fall in love, and maybe have a forever kinda thing with him. (Yes, I admit it; I am a happy-ever-after chick) Since Jim is basically the only guy he's ever really trusted, he's also the only person he'd tell. (But wait! you're asking. Does Jim know?) And the answer is...not yet. The way Jim finds out is simple. Ever since Blair started living with him, on the nights of the full and new moon he would arrange to be away for the next twelve hours, either working, or 'out on a date'. But, there's going to be a stakeout on the night of the full moon, and Jim needs Blair there. He comes home (on the night of the full moon) and tells Blair this. It's one hour till sundown, and Blair is trying to leave. When Blair tries to obfuscate his way his way out of the stakeout, Jim hears his heart racing, and knows he is lying. Eventually, Blair decides to tell him all of this. When Jim hears it, and listens to his heartbeat so he knows he isn't lying, he thinks that maybe all that UST (unresolved sexual tension) he's been feeling for Blair might possibly be returned. Blair, of course, wants him to take time to think about it, since Jim has never been with a guy before, plus, he knows its gonna hurt when he loses his virginity, so he's a bit gun-shy, so they decide to wait for at least four weeks until the next whole change, and date in the meantime. When Blair gets pregnant, his appearance won't change; he will basically be a guy with a womb, appearing to gain weight, but still a guy. What happens after that is your choice, as long as you follow the rules: there is to be no rape, castration, slavery or deaths of Jim, Blair or the baby, either in the womb, or after birth. This is a happy challenge, but you can put as much angst into it as you want, as long as the guys end up together, and all of their friends and family don't end up hating them. You can also make up whatever you want about the babies, including their sex, and whether or not they change. One more thing: if you decide to use Naomi, she hasn't ended her curse, because when she changes, she becomes a man, and none of the women she slept with would let her not use protection, plus, she never slept with anyone in her halfway form.

THE SENTINEL: EARTHQUAKE FOUNDATION

From AlphaJim:
Fandom: The Sentinel

Characters: Jim and Blair, of course, and any other cannon character needed for the story.

Pairings: Jim/Blair

Powers/Abilities: hmmmm... Now that an interesting one. Well, whatever works for the story is the first answer that comes to mind. I've always liked the stories that go to the mystical, magical side, however I know that others don't.

Original Characters: None that I can think of. Although a Mary-Sue can be very tempting here I'm resisting.

The problem: An earthquake in Cascade. Not a huge one, but enough to cause some damage, angst, and h/c. Most stories have Blair being the one trapped and rescued my take on this one is the other way around, Jim trapped. He could be alone or with company. Maybe the company could be a suspect? Maybe in a collapsed basement or some such and Blair being the rescuer or one of the rescuers. But of course it can't be that easy to find Jim and pull him out, along the way there would wind up being numerous other "small" rescues. Pulling people from damaged cars, etc... Maybe the spirit guides get into the act? (There speaks my mystical bent.) BTW I'm also a sucker for first time stories. At lot of TLC and caring after the rescue could lead to what we all like to read.

If this sparks the fancy of any of the wonderful writers on this list please feel free to take it and run with it.

THE SENTINEL: LIFE AFTER TSbyBS FOUNDATION

FANDOM:The Sentinel

MAIN CHARACTERS: James Ellison, detective at Major Crimes of Cascade Washington. Blair Sandburg, recent graduate of the *Seattle* police academy.Simon Banks, captain of Major Crimes of Cascade, Washington. Steven Ellison, younger brother of James Ellison, construction contractor around the Cascade Washington area.

SECONDARY CHARACTERS: Megan Conner, Rafe, Henry Brown, and Joel Taggert--detectives and captain, respectively, at Major Crimes of Cascade, Washington.

TIME PERIOD: May 2000--one year after the press conference.

STORY BACKGROUND: Blair began attending the *Seattle* police academy in August 1999, three months after the TSbyBS press conference declaring himself a fraud. Some of the instructors at Seattle owe Simon Banks a favor or two, so he put in a good word for "the kid" who (he explains to his contacts at Seattle) just made an all too human error in judgment when his dissertation advisors were putting undue pressure on him. The Seattle department instructors take Simon at his word that "this kid" would never have turned in the thesis and admit him to the Seattle academy under probationary status. Simon figures the distance and delay will help things settle down and allow the public to start forgetting about James Ellison, supercop. Blair has moved out of the loft and severely limited his contact with Jim in the meantime in order to allay suspicions. Jim has taken a six month leave of absence to allow public fascination to die down. He misses Blair--who will have to do a year on patrol in Seattle before being considered for promotion--but he realizes that is the *only* way things are going to work out. He and Simon hope to bring Blair back to major crimes by the fall of 2000, just in time for Blair's thirty-first birthday on Halloween. *Hopefully* those in the department (if any)still interested in the saga of "the Sentinel" by that time will believe that James Ellison and Blair Sandburg have reconciled their private differences after Captain Banks publically "assigns" them as partners---*hopefully.* Joel, Rafe, and Henry pretty much have given unspoken "acknowledgment" of Blair's "fraudulent" status and have vowed to Jim that they will thwart any "false" stories they hear about him having superior sensory abilities immediately. They tell him that they have "forgiven" Blair. Jim understands and so do they--no one speaks another word about it publically. Even Ronda seems to know what is up.

THE PREMISE OF THIS STORY: At Blair's request, Jim has taken the time during his leave of absence (and during Blair's absence from his life) as an opportunity to get to know his younger brother, Steven, better. The request for interviews have died down. The public is forgetting.

PART ONE: Unbeknownst to Jim, a furious Steven accosted Blair at the hotel room where he was staying after the press conference. Mad as hell at Blair for concocting such a wild story about his big brother, Steven and Blair get into a vicious argument about Jim that comes to blows. Realizing that William has revealed nothing to Steven, Blair sticks to his story about being desperate to turn in a good thesis to his advisor. Soon enough it occurs to Blair (amidst Steven's ranting and obscenities and displays of violence), that a much bigger problem exists. Contrary to what Steven is saying about Jim not being some freak of nature for the media to exploit, it becomes obvious that he does remember *things* about Jim as a child. The real problem isn't that Steven doesn't believe Blair's theis, it's that he doesn't *want* to believe it. How will Blair handle this potential keg of dynamite? *Why* is Steven, who obviously loves Jim very much, coming down so hard on Blair if he believes him? Hmmmmm.....I have my theories. Ever perceptive, Blair realizes just how unhappy Steven Ellison is. He realizes just why Steven is so angry.

PART TWO: Just before Christmas, 1999.
Jim and Steven are having a beer, watching college football games in the loft. To Jim's horror, Steven all of a sudden asks him why he hid his Sentinel abilities from him. All this time, Steven hasn't brought it up and now he knows things that only Blair knows. Jim is in utter disbelief about Steven's knowledge. All of a sudden Jim experiences a sensory spike.

PART THREE: Just after Blair's graduation in early January 2000. He receives a phone call to meet Jim on an out of the way road outside Seattle. Near exhaustion, a tired Blair who has gone out of his way to distinguish himself in the eyes of his instructors and fellow cadets is uneasy at Jim's cryptic request. He goes to meet Jim, who explodes at him in a fury of hurt and anger that Blair has never seen.

Blair explains.

THE SENTINEL: SHAPESHIFTER CHALLENGE

This challenge is set in 'The Sentinel fandom. It goes like this - it's AU, one of those universes where there are lots of Sentinels & Guides. And Sentinel/Guide pairs are matched up according to their genetic profiles. They bond sexually. (I know, this sounds like Saul's story, and reading it gave me this idea, but it's a lot more complex, trust me.) Jim and Blair have never met before they find out that they are a matched set. When they do meet, things get weird. Blair is from a tribe that is very magical (i.e. mages, sorcerers, elves, fairies, whatever you want to use), but is also very unusual in his tribe. In fact, he is the only one of his kind. What kind, you ask? He is a Changeling/Shapeshifter. Now, let me explain this. You know that Blair's Spirit Guide is the Wolf, so he can change into a wolf whenever he wants. That's the Shapeshifter part. Jim has been looking for a Guide for so long, because he needs a Shapeshifter Guide, whose DNA matches his. For this story, Blair is 21 (That's the only way this will work, trust me) and Jim is 27 or 28. The Changeling part is where it gets weird. As a Changeling, Blair can become a woman (yes, I know this isn't exactly M-Preg, but since Blair's body would be male on the outside while he's pregnant, up until the time he goes into labor, I still thought I'd warn you.) in Blair's tribe, when a boy (or girl) reaches sexual maturity, there is a ceremony where a Shaman direct them down the path they must follow, the one that will lead to their mate. On Blair's 16th birthday, he turned into a woman for the first time (he had been able to turn into a wolf since birth). The Shaman said that since he was a Changeling, he would only be able to have kids in his female form, so his mate would have to be a man, which, according to his tribe, wasn't taboo. What was weird, is that most Changelings weren't Shapeshifters, and none were Guides; also, most Changelings were sterile, so this was a big thing, him being able to have kids. Blair has the idea to have him DNA profiled; you can use whatever reason you want, but his tribe mostly stays away from science, and uses magic instead, so his mother is a bit against it, but goes through with it when he explains his reasons (which can be anything from a vision telling him to do it, or the Shaman saying that it is his path to leave the tribe). When he his profiled, he finds out he is a Guide, so his mate must be a Sentinel. His mother doesn't want him to, but he lists himself as a Guide in the database they have to match up Sentinels and Guides. He also makes a decision on that day (here it, comes another weird part). Knowing that the Sentinel he matches up with will be his mate for life; he decides to wait to have sex until they meet. This is one of my kinks: virgin Blair. For some reason or other (Naomi taking his name off the list, a downed computer, the database Blair's profile is in not being connected to whatever database has Jim's profile in it, whatever you want to use) Jim and Blair don't meet until his 21st birthday. Once they do, and Jim's find out all this, (especially about Blair being a virgin), they talk and a few things come out. They are: Jim never having sex with a guy before, and not wanting to just jump into bed with Blair, seeing as how their first bonding would have to be with Blair as a woman, because of the Changeling thing. Now, another one of my kinks are stories with lots and lots and lots of sex in them, so after they bond as man and woman, they have to bond in a lot of other ways. As another one of my kinks is bestiality, when I say a lot, I mean a lot. The pairings are: man and man (both topping), man and wolf (Blair topping), man and panther (Jim topping, because Jim is the panther, remember, I said he was a Shapeshifter as well, and since his Spirit Guide is the Black Jaguar, well, there you go), Jaguar and woman (Jim topping, of course) and wolf and panther (both topping). Then, of course, they have sex again as man and woman, which is when Blair gets pregnant. How many children, and the circumstances of the birth, and whether or not they are Changelings is up to you (I really don't see a way that they could not be Shapeshifters, with both their parent as them). There are only a few no-no's in this challenge: I am a romantic at heart, and I believe in happily ever after, so.no rape, castration, slavery, or deaths of Jim, Blair, or their future kids, either in the womb or after birth.

THE SENTINEL: STRIPPER BLAIR CHALLENGE

This is also a story in 'The Sentinel' Fandom. Jim is still working for Vice, and his newest case is the owner of a gay strip-club that is also prostituting his dancers. Jim goes undercover as a patron on the first night a new dancer shows up. You guessed it, Blair is the stripper! He took the job dancing to make money to pay for his tuition, and gay bars pay more for male dancers than straight ones. At this time in the story, he has never been with a guy, and thinks of himself as completely straight. Whether or not he has ever been with a girl is up to you. He has to be at least 18 (that's the legal age to work in a strip-club), but no more than 21. Jim can't be more than 26. Jim has also never been with a guy before, but only because he never found someone he was willing to risk losing his job for. He comes in each night for a week, always on stakeout. He's quite taken with Blair, and on the seventh night, he decides to go backstage to see Blair, not to talk to him, basically to be a Peeping Tom. Once he gets back there, he finds the owner of the club trying to talk Blair into taking on a John who is one of his regular customers and really likes virgins. From the conversation, Jim can tell the owner has been asking him this every night, and every night Blair says no and leaves. But on this night, the club owner won't take not for an answer, and ties Blair up while he goes for the client. Since the music in the club is so loud, no one hears Blair's screams for help except Jim. By the time Jim gets to Blair, the owner has brought the john back, and has Blair trussed up like something from a hardcore BDSM scene - restraints, leather, cockring, a gag, the works, and Blair is hyperventilating, because of what he knows is going to happen. Jim goes into one of those Sentinel rages that we see so often in fanon, an 'I must kill the people who hurt my mate' type of thing, and starts to really do a number on the owner and the john, before he either cuffs them, or knocks them. (Remember, he only has one pair of handcuffs) He lets Blair go, and takes the owner and the john downtown for booking. After Blair gives his statement (and the uniforms make the inevitable comments about how he's lying about not being a prostitute) Jim offers to take him home. When they get to the warehouse, they find out it's burned down, and Blair takes Jim up on his offer to stay at his place. Fast forward a couple weeks (or months, or days, or hours), and Blair decides that he will jump the fence for Jim, so he sneaks into his bed in the middle of the night. After the inevitable argument ('Are you sure you want this Chief?' 'Yes, I'm sure, Jim.'), they make love. Whatever happens after that is up to you, as long as you follow the rules: there is to be no rape or deaths of Jim or Blair, no setting them up with anyone but each other, and they must be together by the end of the story.

XFILES: KRYCEK MIND FUCK FOUNDATION

From Krycek-xf-fic
I have found that I like stories where fucking the character's mind is as important as what is done to the body. I would like to read a story where Krycek came from a middle class 1st generation Russian American family. Had a strict bordering on abusive family. I would like him to be trained by Cancer man a long time before meeting Mulder, because I like Krycek as a heartless bastard. Probably has been with CGB since early adolescence. A slash Mulder/Krycek pairing. (Couldn't you see that coming?) How I would like the conflict to be resolved is Krycek takes Mulder and replaces him with a clone, (so that it is clone Mulder killed by aliens) because Krycek cares for Mulder and Krycek knows that the aliens are coming. Mulder lusts after/hates Krycek and does not appreciate being kidnapped.Yeah, this plot is embarrassingly lame. I gave it a shot. It is in the hands of any writer/s silly enough to take it on now.

X-OVER: BRIMSTONE DOES SUNNYDALE FOUNDATION

From BrimstoneFic
Fandoms: Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Brimstone

Characters: Buffy, Angel, Willow, Giles, Anya, Riley, The Devil, Xander, Zeke Stone, etc.

Pairings: Buffy/Xander, Xander/Anya, or Xander/? (whoever...the first two just seem the best for the story)

Powers: Xander has the ability to control the emotions of those around him, and it's nearly undetectable. He doesn't use it much. He gained it during his short stay in Hell. Stone and the rest have their canon abilities.

Create any new characters that you wish. Perhaps another Damned soul to lead him to Xander.

Basic Description:
Ezekiel Stone heads to Sunnydale when he finds out that one of the Damned are there. However, when he gets there, it turns out to be one of the least obvious people he's come to send back to Hell. It's Xander. Xander, even thought he has been a good and couragous soul, made one mistake: the lie he told to Buffy the night she sent Angel to Hell. It was this lie that sent him there later on one night when he was killed by vampires. This was the night of the escape, and Xander, knowing the Hellmouth, went along with them even though he was new, figuring that he would just come back and continue to help Buffy and Co. He returned to the world within two days, and no one even noticed he had died. Now, Stone has to return him to Hell, but he finds it difficult with a young man so similar to himself: Damned for one mistake, had a hard childhood, always wanted to fight the good fight, can never be with the one he loves.

I'd really like:
-A discussion at Willie's Alibi Bar
-Zeke meeting a vampire and freaking
-Giles being knocked out
-a scene in which Xander uses his aforementioned power for good.
-a happy ending (please!!! or a really hopeful sad ending)

All righty? I know I'm twisted and deranged, but nothing I can do about it.
