This is a reminder that we have just under 2 weeks left for the Romance Challenge! Please make sure your fics are done in time! When you are finished, please post your fic (either here, or on another site, such as fanfiction.net) and then place a link to it here in this thread. With the link, also post the request you were given. You do not have to keep your name (as author) secret, since we're not going to have any polls/voting like they did on the BOTP list. This is just for all of us to enjoy some fics! Have fun!

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 2 Mar 2008 18:24

No Polls!!!Ebony goes into panic mode... Damn I was hoping know one would know I wrote this one... Its my one and only BOTP ficcie!

lborgia88 Gatchamaniac posted 2 Mar 2008 18:39

Well, I only guessed 3 out of 11 authors correctly on the BOTP list poll, so if the romance challenge fics were listed anonymously, I'd likely never figure out the authors! Don't worry, Ebonyswanne -you write romance very well! I give you credit for writing a BOTP fic, though. I'm so much more familiar with Gatchaman now, if I tried to write a BOTP fic, the team would probably just end up acting like their Gatch selves.

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 2 Mar 2008 18:44

Oh, I am sure we will convince you to write more BOTP ficcies Ebony. Cloud really enjoyed the stories that came out of the Mailing List Challenge and is looking forward to reading all the new ficcies that will become available from this challenge.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 2 Mar 2008 18:54

There aren't that many of us participating. Only 6, and if Toneman doesn't post on time it's only 5, so I didn't think it would really be that much fun guessing with such a small pool of writers. Anyhow, the point of this was to get more fics, and make some FUN requests, since Springie and Eva and I all had trouble with our BOTP list requests. And I think we will achieve that!!!

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 2 Mar 2008 19:12

I know TJ!!! I'm in it for the smut...*grins*

Firebird Princess Firebird..... Goddess of Swannie Fics posted 3 Mar 2008 05:22

I am having trouble starting mine but I will get it done.

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 3 Mar 2008 13:49

I got to the smut and stopped, its all I really have to finish now...

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 3 Mar 2008 15:30

How can you stop at the smut part Ebony. That should be the part you can not stop at. Imagine leaving two birdies in the middle of a smut thought, that is almost as bad as having Zark enter the room and spoil the scene. Devil2

Assuming I could sneak up for some free time, does Ego/Devilstar pairings count? But in this case, it won't be anonymous anymore!

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 5 Mar 2008 12:19

Amy, this is the challenge where everyone got someone else's request. The pairings are all Eagle/Swan and Condor/Swan. But if you want to write an Ego/Devilstar fic, you can always do that.

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 5 Mar 2008 12:56

Well mine is done...I'm just going over it to make as readable as possible. Smile

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 5 Mar 2008 15:34

Ok here it is! This was the request from one of you! Condor and Swan are in a frozen wasteland, stuck down in a cave with sheer sides. I hope you like it...its in Fan.fic, but its showing now. The story is called "Ice Castles." http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4114037/1/Ice_castles

Don't worry Sprinige mine isn't serious either!

Thanks, Ebony! I appreciate that! Huggles

FWIW, I think yours as great too! I love the way you justified Jason and Princess being together. It is so believable, and using Amanda really helped it work!

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 5 Mar 2008 19:48

Cloud is hoping to find time to read these tomorrow. I was busy writing tonight, so I did not want to stop to do some reading.

I found time to read your story tonight TJ. The Joe character is much more aggressive in this story, but also has that mushy inside that I have seen mentioned. Good Job writing in this universe.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 6 Mar 2008 18:38 (edited 6 Mar 2008 19:30)

Well, I was also trying to make it clear that he was being aggressive to protect Kelly.... Luvu2

I am having a tough time writing the fic for a few reasons most significantly I am currently havin to put in an application for the role I have been performing for the last 4 months. I am still trying to write something but my muse has run off at the moment.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 8 Mar 2008 09:21

Just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline is in a week!

Evangelina Exalted Member posted 10 Mar 2008 15:41

Aaaarrrrauuuughhhhh! What's the deadline date? The 14th? I am soooooo screwed. LOL. The good news is, I do have it partly written. I have also settled on a unifying theme, which is hinted at by this strange smilie: Jar

Yes, the deadline is the 14th. Requests were due by Valentine's Day, and everyone was given a month to work on their fics.

Aqua smut, now that sounds interesting...

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 11 Mar 2008 12:59

I am sure you could write and submit another fic of your own SJ I would be willing to read some more Romance/Smut. Even if it was not requested by someone. Winknudge

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 14 Mar 2008 15:18

Today was the last day for submissions for this challenge was it not? Have we seen everyone's? I think I only saw 4: Ebony, TJ, Springie and Eva. Who else was participating?

Evangelina Exalted Member posted 14 Mar 2008 15:40 (edited 14 Mar 2008 15:44)

I think there were 6 of us in the challenge. Hey, if I pulled it off (*still lying on the floor twitching*), then we'd better be seeing those last two soon! Burnout

Lets see: Firsst we have to get out of this disaster Then we need to heal Joe so we can get back to smuticizing with him. Of course there is also the possibility of smuticizing with him before he is healed Or smuticizing while he heals Oooops, I think Cloud has smut on the brain. Winknudge

After that who knows what disaster they should suffer.

Is there some links for these stories??? I'd love to read them.

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 14 Mar 2008 16:45

Which stories are those Joeswench the Romance Challenge one? Go back one or two pages in this thread and you should find the links to TJ's, Ebony's, and Springie's stories. Eva's was posted in another thread the other day.

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 14 Mar 2008 19:20 (edited 14 Mar 2008 19:21)

The participants in the challenge were: Myself, Eva, Toneman, FB, Springie and Ebony. FB is the only one who has not yet posted, other than Toneman. Toneman has gone from the board, and I'm not sure if he will be returning. BUT, Hino and I are collaborating on working on this last fic (that had originally been assigned to Toneman). It won't be done today (obviously) but in the next couple of weeks. We didn't get started until about a week ago, after realizing that Toneman would be a no-show.

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 14 Mar 2008 19:32

Ahhh, yes FB did say she was having problems and she also got busy with work there for a while. I hope she will post soon. Poke

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 14 Mar 2008 20:37

I hope so too!!! Has anyone posted them here as well??? CEP wouldn't it be great to have a challenge shelf in the library!!! What do you girls think?

clouddancer Gatchamaniac posted 14 Mar 2008 20:48

not that I have been involved with any challenges but i think I would rather see the stories kept up the authors names. Maybe what could happen is we have a list of all the challenges that have happened with a list of the fics after them, (and links to the stories.)

That is okay FB, we all understand that RL can get in the way sometimes. Looking forward to your story when it arrives. Glad you thought the idea was a good one Kimi, I am just not sure if it is something that is possible to do. (Me not understanding how much control an admin has to create things.)

Firebird Princess Firebird..... Goddess of Swannie Fics posted 16 Apr 2008 02:34

SO where do I start with the apologies. As if work was not bad enough Hubby got sick and is currently still having tests to find the cause. Writers block hit big time so I did not get to finish it yet. As soon as things go to something close to normality I will endeavour to finish and post. Again huge apologies to everyone!
