Title Challenge

mood: awake
Okay, I've been browsing through my old records and would love to make a Title challenge out of it. So here goes. I'd love these stories to be Kirk/Spock, Clark/Lex, Duncan/Methos or Harry/Snape - and preferably NC17. If you can cross the 1000 word mark, I'd be even more happy.

I hope there will be a few answers ...

Um, unfortunately, I only have ONE record and that's the one with "Stairway to Heaven" on it. But sure... I'll add a couple from that record :)

My son took all of mine when he moved out of the house - the only one I saved from his grasping hands was the one you have...hmm...OK, how about "Trampled Underfoot", "Achilles' Last Stand," and "In The Light" or "No Quarter" - which are all the ones I can dredge up from my swiss cheese memory.

Well, I just had to add a few of those to the new list I just posted. I hope someone's going to *write* for these. I'm kinda unsure which ones to use myself. I've got many that I find inspiring. Hmmm...

OH, I know one I want to use & the scene to set it in. I think it will be funny & trashy at the same time. Thanks forthe challenge...now to get off ASEML's moditored list :-(

You will soon. I don't know how long they keep you moderated but it shouldn't be more than a week or so, I think.

Do you mean lyrics or melodywise?

Lyrics are like this:
I bet ya never thought
That it would never turn out like this
Mama's little girl
Daddy's little princess

But somewhere in your fairy tale
Everything went wrong
Now the sun don't shine
The words don't ryhme
You're out of time

You've been beaten down
Kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

Ya thought you had your Mr. Right
But he was really Mr. Hyde
Ya gave him your most precious gift
You were his bleeding bride
He tied you up pulled your hair
He slapped your innocent face
Yeah, you were black and blue
He laughed at you
So what'd you do?

Aw you've been beaten down
Kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman

And so its over
Your fantasy life is finally at an end
And the world above is still a brutal place
And the story will start again

You been beaten down
Kicked around on the ground
But you took it like a woman
Victimized, terrorized, paralyzed
But you took it like a woman
Pushed too far pulled too hard
Deeply scared
I know you must have felt the pain

Felt the pain
I know you must have felt the pain
But you took it like a woman
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman
I know you must have felt the pain
You took it like a woman

The song is quite slow and melodious actually.

Kira

I have an idea for a Duncan/Methos story that fits one of the titles perfectly. HOWEVER, I also have to finish both an Ares/Kal story and my incometaxes this week. Not sure if I can make the April 20th deadline without beating my muses to death. (The new Season IV Highlander DVD's sitting in my family room don't make for long hours at the keyboard either.) I will try. Story will come, but maybe not until later.

I am keeping this list of titles for when I need inspiration.

Now the comprehension dawns on me. Now I realize why the Americans are being *relatively* quiet online. They're all working on their taxes. Aha!

Hm, I might have to move up the deadline somewhat....

Re: QUESTION?

There's really not much to it. Choose a challenge title, write a story, preferably NC 17, and for the pairing of your choice. Then post it on this Livejournal. If your story is over 1000 words you might have to send it to me for posting in the LJ. That's it. Good luck.

And just a side note. Using all capital letters on the Internet is considered screaming, so you might want to avoid that. Just a friendly advice :)

Mine is almost 3000 words ^^; sorry.

Re: Thank You

Hey, I suspected you didn't know about the capitals, that's why I mentioned it. Nothing evil intended :-)

So, I wrote a story, and I'm in the middle of writing about three more. The finished one is on my beta's hands at the moment, but my question is. Does it have to be those pairings? Coz... *coughs*... hmm.. I wrote an OC slash with Ryan/Seth and I was wondering if that's admissible.

*hands her cookie* Cookie? *grins*

Sure you can submit it. Any pairing's okay, although I personally prefer the ones mentioned. They're just my favorites, is all :) I've never seen the show OC, but it's on Swedish TV now, so maybe I'll just have to try and catch an episode or two ...

You should totally check out OC. It's so very slashable. Those two, Ryan and Seth, are perfect together. Very much 'opposities attrack' kinda thing. *g*

Hi!
I've attempted to fulfill this challenge - it's not NC17, and barely half the requested length, but it's an attempt. let me know what you think of it.
