and the others (you know who you are). Write a disgustingly squeaky-clean fic. The sort that makes the moral guardians swoon with joy. No mind-control, magic, or robot substitutes for any of the characters. No outside coercion of any sort. Everyone is in character. That's it. (If it's late enough at night, I might give it a go.)

Ahhh... So this is what happens with UW has time on her hands...... "... and Squirry the Squirrel went "neep neep neep" and they all went home for tea..." (with thanks to Blackadder) I was going to point out that your restrictions don't mention no smut, but then I realised the whole "moral guardians swoon with joy" thing. So basically, you want the most politicially correct fic ever written in the Gatch/BotP universe with the characters completely in character. Can the Condor be unconscious for the entire time? I'm up for the challenge. Who else? SJ? Firebird? GoGirl? TJ? If I have to suffer the rest of you do too!

This totally reminds me of that Simpsons episode... the one where Marge got all violence banned from the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. So in honor of that inspiration, here we go... ***** "Lemonade?" Mark asked politely, holding up the frosty pitcher as he sat on the porch. "Please." Princess replied, extending her hand so that he could reach her glass. "I would like that very much." "I made it just for you." Mark smiled kindly. "Enjoy!" "I will." Princess replied. She took a sip. "Thank you again. You are my best friend." "You're welcome." Mark replied. ***** Now, who wants to turn *that* into smut? And this is the scene that inspirde it... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mjgw_the-simpsons-tv-off_shortfilms

I think Mark can make anyone swoon . . . even a moral guardian. I think this is about to be my first BotP fic - after what I've had Jun and Ken do I don't think I can clean that off . . . . . . .look for something by the end of the weekend

No cheating. Real story.

I also wrote 'squeaky clean', which usually means 'no smut.'

Well, squeaky clean usually implies politically correct, but not necessarily.

'No coercion' doesn't necessarily mean that Nambu/Anderson/Brighthead/Keane didn't tell them to behave themselves. Real story, too.

"Have they gone yet?" Princess wiped her lips keeping a straight face. "No." Mark whispered without moving his lips. "Okay we'll keep this...innocent brady bunch niceness going until Anderson vanishes." Princess whispered back and then forced a sickly sweet smile in their direction. "Mark, do you have any more of that nice lemonade?" I want to know what happened after they drank the lemonade...after all was it laced with something...didn't she...ahhhh...wake up with Mark fully clothed, but cuddling...thats keeping it innocent...isn't it...grins...wink wink...

I remember that episode, TJ! And you did a marvellous job in that short piece of yours! It does scream out for something more spicy as you've later suggested, though! It's like we're never happy if there isn't something smutty going on, especially in scenes like these, isn't it?! Okay ... okay ... now you're going to tell me to speak for myself, aren't you?!!! UW ... you've given quite a tough challenge!! Gogirl, ITA with you ... Ken/Mark always makes us swoon ... at least, here, I'm speaking for myself and those Eagle crazy like me! Ebony ... I like the playful aspect you've given the piece! And you still kept it innocent as long as we don't really know what could have happened afterwards!

UW- Smut...they can do it...no smut, all goody goody.... that is a challenge for this board....

Why else did I extend it? It's not a challenge when it's easy.

Ok - here's a little bit of one. (I even managed to get a moral in at the end!) ************* Joe had learned his lessons about speeding through the city. He now drove carefully, adhering to the speed limits and stopping at all red lights. A vehicle pulled up next to him, and he saw a Devil Star grinning through the window as she floored the accellerator and started to speed by the intersection. Suddenly, a large semi-trailer that had been proceeding harmlessly until now slammed into the side of the vehicle, spinning it around. Joe sighed and called the emergency services, before climbing out of the Condor Machine to render assistance. As he helped to remove the injured Devil Star from her car he grinned suddenly. "You see. The road rules are there for a reason," he said.

Great work, Maddy! I love it!!!!! Just a *hint* of the Joe we know and love, but definitely there!

The same here, Maddy ... you did a wonderful job! You've chosen the right persons and the right event to give an example with a lesson!

Teeheehee...Maddy...that was very cute!

That was great, Maddy! I can't think of anything that clean...

Belive me, Becky, it was a real effort!

Noticed that you kept it short - too many ideas what with a Devil Star and Jason? *smirk*

Not only that - but if I made it longer, I don't think Joe could have not cussed!
