It has been two summers ago since we saw Gilmore Girls fade to black. Two years, can you believe it?

The need to fill the void is still here, and as members, I hope you can help satiate the emptiness.

What's your favorite Gilmore moment? Why?

What is your favorite Gilmore quote? Why?

And only if you dare...

In light of the Obama Democratic campaign coming to an end, write a letter, a journal entry or an article that may reflect Rory's thoughts on the campaign trail.  Will she stay onboard if Obama gets the presidential nod from the Democratic party?

I know, it's not a contest. It may not even be sexy but if you can answer any or all of the questions, maybe we can reminisce a little more.

Have a great summer.

Love,
Ickle Me

FINALLY!!!

Yes, I know I promised this almost 2 months ago and it's only now I was able to get to it.  So, enjoy. Don't know when the next challenge is going to be up so keep posted!  Again, thanks to coley_026     and behrbemine . For some odd reason my gifs for your stories aren't working so I would have to reload them at a later date. (Or if any of you would like me to send them  to you and try and post them, I would be happy to oblige.)

Finally, we've tallied the votes and here are the winners for Round 4's summer challenge.

The Reader's Choice Winner:





The Ickle Pick Winner:




The Critique Award goes to:




Congratulations to the winners and all those who participated in this challenge. In the following days, the songs will be posted. Unfortunately, since not everyone who promised to submit a story turned in a story so the song album compilation would have 6 songs.

On a side note, I would like to thank members chacha_04 and __undeniiable for stepping up to the plate and helping out with banners and icon concepts. You guys rock. I know I would've not been able to do any graphics without the two of you spoonfeeding me the stuff. For that, I would be eternally grateful.

Summer's over and now, everyone is given the opportunity to reread the stories posted for the summer challenge.

Here again are the stories:

Soak Up The Sun by Amy
Feels So Good To Be With You by Amy
The Trip Back Home by season 4.5
A Little Rain by evenangelsfall22
Say You'll Be There by brighterthansunshine
Sensory Effect by behrbemine

Anyone who put their name in the hat but wasn't able to submit their story on time, you still can turn your story for us to add to this list.

Again, thanks to those who have submitted, those who have reviewed, and those that are still going to be giving us stories to put up. This has been a fun round. Hope to see you all in the next challenge!

The summer challenge closes tonight. So far the stories have been really awesome, steamy in other instances. We've had a lot of humor, poignant moments, a ton of romance.

This next story has all that and more.

Take pleasure in Amy's appropriately titled fic Soak Up The Sun.

Read, relax and review!

And I thought I've seen everything!

It's so good to see some surprises surface in this season's challenge.

Amy decided to grace us with some JavaJunkie fandom by delivering to us Feels So Good To Be With You.

It's yummy. It's Gilmore-y. It's great.

Read and review. I know you want to.

Again, thank you for the reviews and the submissions. There are 2 days left to deadline for those that still have to submit. It would be a shame to have only a handful of songs to listen to while you read.

Five more days before the second deadline kicks in, people.

So far we've gotten a Trory and two Rogans. This time, Jess is in the house with The Trip Back Home.

Enjoy the story. Read and review!

Are you all enjoying the stories posted so far? I know I am.

As the subject of this posting states, another Rogan tale is posted! Where are the Literaties? PDLDs? Dare I ask for Narcos?

Prepare yourselves for this yummy tale. It's from evenangelsfall22 and her fic is entitled A Little Rain.

Read, review and comment. Trust me, you won't regret reading it.

Again, thank you for all your support. The responses so far have been very encouraging and engaging, to say the least. Keep up the good work!

Not to rain on Behrbemine's parade but Brighterthansunshine wants to show the tender side of Logan in her summer fic submission entitled Say You'll Be There.

So read, review and let your opinion be heard. With the way things are being currently submitted you don't want to fall behind in your critiques.

Enjoy the second story in this season's challenge.
