New Challenge!

[cailenbraern.livejournal.com]

Ah, I haven't posted in here for so long. I'm a little rusty. Still, it's challenge time, and I've been assured by two of my co-mods that it is a somewhat decent idea.

So the challenge for this period is: 'Am I mad, in a coma or back in time?'

I know, the title sucks but I couldn't think of anything at this short notice.

This challenge is inspired by Life on Mars. You, the writers will have free reign to take the characters in your stories back to any time period that takes your particular fancy. Perhaps you'll write about Howard feeling right at home in America during the Jazz Age, or perhaps Vince will face mortal peril at the hands of Jack the Ripper when he's mistaken for an ugly prostitute. Maybe Julian and Noel go back in time and meet Shakespeare, ending up on stage at the Globe in the first production of Romeo and Juliet. The choice is yours dear writers!


The usual rules apply for this challenge, and I'm setting a dead line for Saturday the 25th of August.

EDIT: There will most likely be an extension, but that will be settled nearer the 25th of August.

Have fun and go wild!

[ailcia.livejournal.com]

OH. YES.

[lo0o0ony-lauren.livejournal.com]

NSFJEGFNEF WHY AM I NOT HERE FOR THIS. CLEARLY THE WORLD HATES ME. D:

Oh god oh god, I shouldn't be as excited by this as I am, BUT STILL. Please get in as many jokes about seventies moustaches as is physically fucking possible. :D Julian would fit right in!

FIRST: "Boss, it's Bruce Forsythe!"

SECOND: OMG YES. ILU.

[gothic-veils.livejournal.com]

Ohhh I might actually try my hand at this one, since I have an idea already.

Also Vince would be a very pretty prostitute and you know it!

[cailenbraern.livejournal.com]

There will likely be an extension so party all you like!

[girlanachronizm.livejournal.com]

Heehee ! I just love your suggestions ! Someone please write the Vince-hooker/Ripper fic ! What if Vince met the Hitcher ...

I'm already starting to get some ideas myself. Hooray, something new to think about during my very boring work hours (working as a cleaning lady ... the horror)! Thank you! (Reminds me of the wise words of a character in a popular Belgian children's tv-programme: "The best gift you can get someone is something to think about" ...)

Second that!
I must read a Vince-hooker/ripper fic!
I have a thing for old Jack....
Please...

[easilyled.livejournal.com]

I'll do it! Although I may need an extension, and I'm a noob to this comm. Never any time like the present to lose your slash virginity to a new fandom. I say.

[prothy5191.livejournal.com]

oh haha! I'm a cleaning lady too!!!

sorry, just thought that was ridiculously funnay... write a fic as if Vince was a famous 18th century tailor (start of Topshop) and Howard cleaned his enormous house...fun ensues.

[spiderweb-x.livejournal.com]

Sounds amazing. I'm looking forward to doing this.

CB, where on earth did that lovely picture in your icon come from?

[cailenbraern.livejournal.com]

It is from a very, very old photo. Before-the-tv-series-old. I'll try and dig it out if I can find it.

Gracias! They really have no shame.

[sciosophia.livejournal.com]

Why does everything ever have to be in for the 25th? Not that I'm complaining, I'm just ruminating on mysteries of fandom and the cosmos, as I have three all due for the 25th. And two are about Noel. And two have something to do with LOM. ;P

[cailenbraern.livejournal.com]

Fear not, havenite! The 25th is just a standard two-week deadline, (well, two weeks and a few days.) But my co-mod has informed me that this challenge will generate a lot of interest, and it will be inevitable that there will be an extension.

[sciosophia.livejournal.com]

Ah, my fear hath abated! That's good, I am pleased. Now, for an idea....... ;)

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

This challenge is way too perfect. Now I will never get my ironing done!

[girlanachronizm.livejournal.com]

I find ironing to be very inspiring! I got the best story-idea during the ironing today. Dibs on the French Revolution !

Ahhh! Okay, I've been trying to write Boosh-in-the-50's for what seems like years and omg, this might actually help? \o/

[cailenbraern.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I'm glad to be of assistance!

[prothy5191.livejournal.com]

you have no idea how happy I am about this.

Vince in the sixties whilst the MOD period ruled. and Poor Howard is transformed in order to fit in....mwahhahahahahahahahaha*cough^hahahhahaha
