This one was Eva's idea, but of course, since it related to smut, she came to me. Basically, we want to do a fic challenge like the BOTP list, but it's going to involve romance and/or smut. So here's the way it works. To enter, specify a request for: a) Eagle + Swan OR b) Condor + Swan AND A location/occasion. Everyone who enters will get someone else's random (and anonymous) request. You have to write a fic (minimum 1,500 words) with a romance between the two characters in the location specified. Smut is optional, although definitely welcome. All fic submissions will be anonymously posted. Just to make it clear, you MUST REQUEST EAGLE/SWAN or CONDOR/SWAN! No other pairings are allowed. At the moment the challenge consists of Eva and myself. If no one else enters, it's going to be awfully boring. So I hope to see lots of entries! Entry deadline is February 14 (when the Valentine's Challenge ends). We'll give a month (until March 14) to write the fics. To enter, send me your name and your request. I hope to see lots of participants on this one!

Ok count this Swannie in!!! sounds like fun!

Whoo hoo! Now we have three!!!!

Hey, we didn't even have to twist her arm!

Only if it's what's requested. Come on, Springie. I told Eva about how you and I did our 'in a day' PWP challenge. Yo can do it... you'll have a month....

I was thinking about mine all night. I have the couple, but the location is still under contemplation. I'd like something interesting....

Oh, Eva'll take 'em, but they squick the hell out of TJ, so we're not doing any here. (See my Fics if you want some bishonen-ai. Two-Factor Theory and The Pulse Plan. *shameless self-promotion*)

Yep, there's no way I'm going to write any yaoi! Or bishonen-ai or whatever you want to call it. I'm still trying to work up enough guts to READ Eva's aforementioned fics!!!

Originally posted by Toneman I can't resist.... I want in.

And.... Toneman is in! We're up to five. Come on guys, we can use more!

Go for it Eva, why not you put all the work into the story's and if you've got a reader!!!! LOL Maybe we should have a thread for shameless self promoting of ficcies!!! Besides you read what your interested in!So some aren't into rocky road so what, if you are thats OK too...(OK I'll look at threesome as long it's not Yaoi based I have gay friends but it doesn't mean I'm interested in what they do in the bedroom...eww.) Just there are some things I'm not interested in writing about at all and slash smut isn't Amy... I don't read every new book that comes out... Two-Factor Theory- being one of your stories Eva I bet it has a great plot!

Here's my smut...LOL...it's not the best...i had serious background issues...and i won't even point out the mistakes to you...but it was fun to try...

Oh, Springie.... This is incredible!!!!

Originally posted by Springie Here's my smut...LOL...it's not the best...i had serious background issues...and i won't even point out the mistakes to you...but it was fun to try...

Whooo hoooo thats one HOT Eagle...wow...mmmmm yyuuummyyy

Wow, Springie, that's way hot. Man, I'd like to and right after I his . Oh, and did I mention ?

Well I have my request just let me know where I'm sending it to!

Springie that pic is absolutely amazing.

Encore! Encore!

Originally posted by Ebonyswanne Well I have my request just let me know where I'm sending it to!

All requests should be sent to me.

request has been pm'd to you TJ

Got it, FB!

Wow, Srpingie. That is fantastic. I can not believe what a simple request can have you accomplish.

Okay, so far we have the following participants: Transmute Jun Evangelina Ebony Swanne Firebird Toneman Anyone else? Come on you guys! The more we have, the more swoony, romantic fics we will see! Springie, Hino, CD, I'm looking at you!!!!!

my mind has hit the gutter...when I looked at the piccie all I could think of...whats missing is the Swan giving him a blow jjob...

Heehee...I am gracefully bowing out of this one...I need to finish the Condor smut fic...maybe I can do some more piccies, though...they don't take as long...

Awww Springie!!!! Someone said smut and you run...mmm now if I remember correctly I did find a smutty fic you wrote...it was Eagle/Swan but still smut.

Yeah, I did do one PWP (Sweet Dreams)...and there is a little smuttiness in Snowbound, too... I am working on one now...just can't seem to get through it...

FTR, Sweet Dreams was a smut request made by ME, and she did a fabulous job!!! Not only that, she wrote it in ONE DAY!!!! So it's clear that Springie can do this. Springie, you are copping out. I don't buy the 'Condor smut story' angle because you haven't worked on it in ages! I know you've had trouble with your BOTP List challenge fic, but I also suspect that the topic on THIS challenge would be much more suited to you and your talents! I'm not accepting no on this one Springie. You are going to feel my whip!!! (And FTR, I will not you for Condor smut fic while you are doing this, ok?) Now, Hino and CD, would you care to give me YOUR excuses?

OUCH!! Is that your infernal stick poking me again??? What if I finish Condor Smut? Will that work??? What about the smut piccie requests??? Will those work? Aw, come on...give me a break, will ya?

Oh, Springie.... I'm willing to give you a break on everything else, but you need to join in on this... does it really take you a month to write 4 or 5 pages?

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" :: Toneman stands back and laughs at all of youse guys gettin heckled by TJ....:: Hit her back!! Stick to your stories, girls!!

Originally posted by Toneman "HAHAHAHAHA!!!" :: Toneman stands back and laughs at all of youse guys gettin heckled by TJ....:: Hit her back!! Stick to your stories, girls!!

Just remember, the more entrants, the more fics...

And just think Tone you could do one from the guys perspective

Originally posted by Firebird And just think Tone you could do one from the guys perspective

Tone is already in, and I'm hoping to see one from the guy's perspective!!!!

I'm having trouble coming up with a request, believe it or not!

I am sure you will come up with something Eva

Knowing Eva, it will be very intriguing...

I am still waiting for this thing to start...lol

Thursday....

Ok, ok...you talked me into it, TJ...I finally came up with an idea...but give me something easy...ok?? I am waaaaay out of practice...

Yay Springie!

Originally posted by Springie Ok, ok...you talked me into it, TJ...I finally came up with an idea...but give me something easy...ok?? I am waaaaay out of practice...

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Ummmm.... I will say that every single request so far has been very *creative*... depends what you call easy... But then, how hard is it to create chemistry between or ?

Okay, just a reminder... anyone else who wants to participate needs to contact me with their request by Thursday!

Yeah, TJ thinks mine's boring. (I think that means easy.) You can have mine! If TJ feels nice enough to give you mine...

Yours isn't boring Eva. It's just not something I would have expected from YOU.

I didn't do something super smutty as a request so the romance writers could play too!! So...if you're on the fence about whether to join the challenge or not, please PLEASE consider joining! We'd really love to have you! I really don't think of a challenge as a massive expectation that someone is going to write me the perfect story, I think of it as something that forces ME to write, and practice writing. That I get to read someone else's story that came out of my request is yummy icing on the cake! So if you need to practice writing and/or need a fire lit under you (like I always do), use this opportunity to join in! And feel free to join whether you regularly participate in these challenges (or these conversations about challenges) or not. Lurkers welcome!! (Look at my post number. Only 50 posts and I'm already helping come up with challenges. Go me! I give hope to lurkers everywhere! ) All you need to do is PM or email TJ with your idea (for someone else). She will let us all know our "assignments" on Thursday, February 14th. That's only 2 days, so quick quick like a bunny! You will have a whole month to write your fic in response to the challenge. You can post any questions here.

Thanks for the plug, Eva! I should also point out that the requests are all Condor or Eagle + Swan. That means that you can write in ANY universe you are comfortable with!

lol well I guess you know which that will be for me

I was actually toying around with the idea of ER, myself...

Okay, the assignments have been sent out! If you have any questions, or didn't get yours, just LMK!
