One very late drabble submission
I hope this is still appropriate, since this challenge was issued back in June or something? lol Maybe this will kick-start the community again? :)

Oy. I've become even worse at posting challenges. Technically, it's still Sunday night where I live, but I have to post now. See, they started monitoring our internet usage at work, which means I can't go on LJ during the day anymore and I'm rarely online at all. So, this will have to do.

This week's challenge is Airport.

Have fun!

challenge -- stage
AJ remembers reading somewhere about the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. He’s tasted them all, save the final one, and that seems a far way off at this point; he knows he’s not the only one who thinks so—Kevin has told him in no uncertain terms that he’s fucking them all up. But he refuses to think about that.

AJ looks at the bottles of Jack Daniel lined neatly in front of him for a moment. Then he reaches for a glass, wondering numbly if he’ll find his acceptance in one of them tonight.

Current Mood: bored

Okay, so Poster Challenge is (finally) closed. I'm sorry that we've had the same theme for three weeks, but it gave a lot of people a chance to post their drabbles. Thanks to everyone who participated - there were some really great drabbles.

This week's theme is Stage.

Have fun with it! :)

poster challenge

((Since this was my suggstion, I knew I had to come up with something good. Sorry it took so long...it's kinda hard to write fics and drabbles when finals are breathing down your neck. My last one's tomorrow-thank God.))

'Poster'

The wall was completely covered from top to bottom with posters, gold and platinum records, and even a couple of autographed things, just for kicks. But one thing was missing- a real photograph. Not some posed thing to sell at concerts, not some magazine layout. A real, honest picture.

Nick grabbed his camera off the table and headed out back with the rest of the fellas. “Let’s take a picture.” Next thing you heard was,

“For what?”
“Hey, off my foot!”
“Not in THIS outfit.”
“Where’s my shades?”

Nick shook his head and smiled. So much for cool and collected.

Poster
Posters hung on his wall. All the favorites like New Kids on the Block, Al Green, He-Man, and the Transformers. It was hard for him to imagine what it was like to be a kid back then. It had happened so long ago. His dreams were in utero then. Practicing the moves in a hot hot warehouse with the guys led him so far away from this place. Now, he’s returned to the place where he spent his time singing along with the radio and practicing posing for the camera. Back then, things were simple and his world was just so small.

poster challenge
Leann stepped out of the bathroom just in time to hear Beth ring up the register. “You have a nice day, sir,” her co-worker chirped, smiling as the customer left the store.

All Leann could do was stare at the somewhat familiar back profile. Then she turned to Beth, who was wiping the counter with a rag. “Do you think—”

“No.”

“Are you sure? ‘Cause he looked a lot like—”

“No.”

Leann folded her arms. “Nick Carter can shop at Walmart, you know.”

Beth shook her head, snorting. “Couldn’t be. He bought an armful of Justin Timberlake posters!”

Poster Drabble, Nick Carter/Tommy Lee
Tommy sees the number on his phone and grimaces. "Yeah?"

"Tara Reid? Are you insane?"
"Look Nick, it's just for a while, to get people's minds off that whole tranny pickup deal..."
"Oh, let's not even talk about that, I've got a whole other speech about that booty call. You're the poster child for bad relationships, you know that?"

"The guy who screwed Paris Hilton is lecturing me about dating? And dude, what about the soap opera that is your group? How many out of that four have you-"

"Okay! Sorry. We're still on for Thursday, right?"
"Of course, dude."

Poster challenge:

He stood gazing up at the poster hanging up on the wall. Everything looked so perfect then. The five of them standing together, smiling, happy. Him standing next to the man he had hoped to spend the rest of his life. Amazing how quickly things changed. All it took was one moment. Days passed. Days turned into months, and months turned into years. Now everything was different. He reached up, and yanked the poster off the wall, tearing it in half. Things would never be the same. He'd ruined it all.

The Baby challenge is closed. We had a great turn-out and so many wonderful drabbles to read. Thank you to everyone who participated and go back and read them if you haven't already.

And thank you to

t4_flirt who suggested this week's challenge: Poster.

Have fun with it everyone!

Baby...

“Yes, it’s true folks. Britney Spears is having a baby. The latest…” Justin couldn’t turn the tv off fast enough. Lately it seemed like all the world cared about was her.

Justin walked into the bedroom, knowing Cameron was fast asleep. He watched her for a minute or two, then shook his head. The charade was over. He picked up his duffel bag from beside the dresser and shut the door. Grabbing his keys from the hall table, he only had one thing on his mind.

As he drove off into the star-filled night, he wasn’t sure where he was headed, but he knew it had to be better than this.

a/n~~I didn't know if I'd make this one...I developed a nasty case of writer's block. Having finals in two weeks will do that to a person. ::smiles::

baby challenge
it's so good to see this community active again. *showers

startfresh with confetti*

You used to watch her sleep at night, your baby girl, hands folded, pressed to her chest like she was praying. You didn’t blame her, couldn’t, and standing at the door half the night was the only way you could offer any protection that didn’t seem to fall through. It’s different now; now you have fame, fortune, family. You don’t have to worry about your house being broken into, or about Kim’s habits. Still, she'll wake up to find you standing in the doorway, watching her just like before, offering protection the only way that doesn’t seem to fall through.

A little Justin/JC drabble fun

( His baby )

This drabble is dedicated to Taylor Hanson, since his baby girl should be born annnnny day now. Good timing for the drabble prompt!

( Chris/Justin - G )

Baby Drabble
“Baby, I love you.” He said in that cold distant way of his.
I knew he had something else on his mind as we spoke on the phone.
Days would go on and on until I'd get a call with him saying those words to me. Our marriage is something else that's all I can say. I know you see the photos and the tabloids but all and all it's just for show. This baby I'm carrying is Justin's. We broke up a long time ago but there's just a passion between us that no one can deny. Kevin and Justin, the current loves of my life.
Kevin says he loves me but what does he know?
He left a pregnant girlfriend for me. And she's down right gorgeous. I can't even watch Moesha without feeling sinful.
On the other end of the line, I hear a expectant pause. I know what he's expecting so I say it the way I coo of my songs.
“I love you, too.” Tears fill my eyes.

Okay, so after only three weeks, the Stars challenge is closed. I'm sorry to everyone who was awaiting a new challenge and got nothing. I will try not to let it happen again.

In honor of Brit and K-Fed, this week's challenge is Baby. Your drabble doesn't have to be about a literal baby. It could just be someone calling someone else "baby."

Have fun!

new challenge???
So, when's the new challenge going to be??

challenge - stars
The first thing Lance buys Briahna is a telescope. Joey smiles; Justin bites back a comment about being predictable; JC blows a raspberry against Bri’s stomach to hide his face; Chris doesn’t bother with the niceties. He laughs so hard he nearly breaks his jaw.

But Lance ignores them, and the happy gurgle Bri makes when Lance helps her finds the Orion Belt and the Milky Way more than makes up for it. “That’s right, baby,” he coos, holding her tightly against his chest, as she gazes up at the sky, “one day we’ll both get to touch the stars.”
