Sorry this took so long, everyone! I finally wrangled a break between birthdays and coughing my lungs up to get these babies uploaded and posted for you all.

Congrats to all winners and runners-up, and everyone who voted and submitted for the challenge! This was a blast, and you all rock!

Mild Disclaimer: Please pardon my questionable photoshop skillz. Ahem.


( And the winners are...*drumroll*... )

And thus the Cheesy Love Song Challenge comes to a close.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote, and an extra-special smooshy thanks to all of the authors who participated.

The winners will be announced soon, along with Judges Choice and the award-specific banners.

THE CHEESY LOVE SONG CHALLENGE HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!


I'm extremely pleased with the turn-out...we got a whopping 39 entries, and every one of them is terrific. I hope you all had as much fun writing your fics as others will have enjoying them! :)

Okay, enough blathering. Here's what you've all been waiting for...le polls! And, some rules.

[+] Please do not vote for yourself in ANY category. It won't count. Trust your readers to vote for you.
[+] Please take care to vote for which story you honestly believe deserves the title of "Hottest", "Cheesiest", etc. If I see someone voting for a fic where Logan is killed by the Fitzpatricks as "Cheesiest/Fluffiest", I am going to roll my eyes. The vote will count, but my eyes? They will roll.
[+] Voting will be open for two weeks, thus ending MAY 14, 10 PM ET. Er, this is also my birthday, so the results might be posted the next day.

Aaand, that's pretty much it! On with the pollage, and good luck!

( Reader's Choice Polls )

There will be a Judge's Choice, to be decided soonish, and the results will be posted along with the winners from the Reader's Choice polls sometime after May 14th.

Happy voting! Oh, and please...pimp like mad. Ya know...if you want people to vote. :)

Title: Begin (1/1)
Author: Hillary (hillaryrobson@gmail.com)
Pairing: Logan and Veronica
Rating: PG-13, for a bit of naughty language
Spoilers: Through 2x20, "Look Who’s Stalking Now"
Summary: Their story wasn’t epic
AN: Written for the Cheesy Love Challenge. I’d had a whole other story that I’d been working on, and then I had to see 2x20 and it worked better with my song, which is “I think we’re alone now” by Tiffany. Warning: total fluffiness ensues.

( Begin )

THE CHEESY LOVE SONG CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED!

Thanks to everyone who submitted, and I hope to have the polls open for voting shortly. Whee!

Rating: R
Word Count: 1,677 without lyrics
Character/Pairing: Duncan/Lilly, Duncan/Veronica, mentions Logan/Veronica
Summary: Duncan has never stopped dreaming of Lilly.
Spoilers/Warnings: Incest, sexual situations. As for the show, you're good if you've seen season 1 and the first half of season 2.
Disclaimer: Ha! I only wish they were mine. They belong to Rob Thomas though and I only borrow them.
Author's Note: This was supposed to be posted days ago but RL once again threw me off with tests and papers. So here it is, midnight of the deadline and I'm posting it. Anyway, this was written for the Cheesy Love Song Challenge and my song was These Dreams by Heart. The lyrics can be found here.

Author: Tiana
Pairing/Character: Logan/Veronica
Rating: R for sexual situations, language
Word Count: 3871

Author’s Note: This fic was written for the Cheesy Love Songs Challenge (cheesy_love) run by the lovely keepaofthecheez. I was assigned 'Open Arms' by Journey. Lyrics are behind the cut, just before the fic.

Thanks for reading!

Title: Breathe Me
By: catalysia
Author’s Notes: Written for the Cheesy Love Song ficathon over at cheesy_love. The song challenge was “Something To Talk About” by Bonnie Raitt. While I’m not a fan of the particular genre, I think it fit the fic extremely well. This is the first fiction regarding anything Veronica Mars, so please don’t be disappointed if it isn’t snarky enough for anyone’s particular tastes.
Distribution: If you ask first, I'll probably say yes.
Summary: No matter how hard she tries, Veronica just can’t seem to get Logan out of her head.
Rating: Anything you'd see on the actual show, so probably suitable for anyone at the designated age group.
Pairing: Logan/Veronica, with mentions of Duncan/Veronica & Veronica/Lily friendship.
Spoilers: Everything up to the current aired episode, “Look Who’s Stalking”.
Feedback: Any feedback, constructive criticism or otherwise, is always welcome.

( They think we’re lovers kept under covers. )

Title: Whenever I’m Alone With You (10/10)
Author: Amanda
Pairing/Character: Logan and Veronica
Rating: R, for language
Word Count: 2, 728
Spoilers/Timeline: None. Completely AU.
Summary: “ It was a routine appointment. She wasn’t due for another 6 weeks, and this had been scheduled for months.”
Disclaimer: Not mine, but I can dream.
A/N: Written for The Cheesy Love Song Challenge at cheesy_love. My song was “Love Song,” by The Cure. X-posted at tastylilgifty and veronicamarsfic.
A/N II: It's done! Well... there's another note at the end. ;) I did alot of research for this, so I hope you guys like it!

Title: The Night Belongs to Lovers
Author: Lara
Fandom: Veronica Mars
Spoilers: Early Season 2, after the "cuddling" comment, before Donut Run
Rating: NC17
Summary: Illicit smut on a heated night
Disclaimer: Not mine
Feedback: Sure
Distribution: If you'd like to post the fic somewhere please ask unless you've asked before and
I've said 'yes'. Will eventually be on my site: http://www.grapevine.net/~lwilson/otherfic.html
A/N: Written for the Cheesy Love Song ficathon over at cheesy_love. I got "Because The Night Belongs To Lovers" by 10000 Maniacs. While the song may be cheesy (and I think I've heard it but I suck at putting titles and singers to songs; the lyrics are dimly familiar) the fic isn't cheesy, cracked or anything fun. It is smutty, though. It's also not love...except of course it really is, they're just in denial. *g*

The Night Belongs to Lovers">

Title: What a Beautiful Feeling
Author: Holly
Pairing: Logan/Veronica
Word count: 3120
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: None really, just that there are dangerous people around Neptune
Summary: Logan can’t stop reliving a day three years in the past. Future fic.
Disclaimer: The characters aren’t mine, obviously.

Author’s Note: Set sometime late S2. Written for the Cheesy Love Song challenge at cheesy_love. Eventually X-posted to veronicamarsfic. My song was “Crimson & Clover,” by Tommy James & the Shondelles. My interpretation of the song is a little cracked. But it is what it is, I guess. This is not the first fic I’ve written, but it’s the first I’ve actually finished and posted. I didn’t have time to have someone read it over, so I think I’ll be posting and running away fast. Plus I was a little rushed to get it finished, so hopefully I’m not embarrassing myself. Thanks to miniglik for letting me bounce ideas off her before I started writing. I also owe the existence of one particular line to her. She'll know which one it is.

Title: More Than Words
Author: Jaime
Characters/Pairings: Logan/Veronica (yep, another one...), with a very brief appearance by Wallace
Rating: I'd say about PG, but it's pretty tame- no swearing that I can find so far, and minor physicality.
Length: 2828
Spoilers: None really. This fic could kind of stand on its own, though there is reference to an event in Leave it to Beaver (S1 finale)
Summary: [I really can suck at summaries sometimes, keep in mind...] A continuation to chapter one (obviously, hehe). For the past two weeks, Veronica has been finding all sorts of creative ways to avoid Logan, filling him with a deep sense of confused worry. Now though, he decides he needs answers...
Notes: My song was 'More Than Words' by Extreme. Yep, I chose the same name for my fic, but that's just 'cause it worked so well. This is the first ever VM fic I've posted, so feedback (constructive or otherwise) would be greatly appreciated. I'm always interested in improving my writing! :):) 

In case you missed the first part and are interested:

...And now for the conclusion...
[also, I apologize for the wonky font change under the cut... apparently LJ is not happy with me tonight...*shrug*]

Title: "I Wanna Know What Love Is"
Author: Kantayra
Pairing/Character: Veronica/Logan
Word Count: 4,448
Rating: R
Summary: Logan: Drunk, pantsless, and cheesy. In Veronica's car. :P
Spoilers/Warnings: Spoilers through 1x15 only. Warnings: Logan is pantsless. Very pantsless. Also, beware of cheese. :P

I Wanna Know What Love Is

Title: Roses Bleed You Dry
Author: madseason_20
Pairing: Veronica, Logan, Duncan
Rating: R, for violence (just to be safe)
Spoilers: None.
Word Count: 2,256
Summary: They see each other when he isn't home. Futuristic AU.
Disclaimer: These characters are not mine. I repeat: not mine. Some rich folk own them.
A/N: This was written for the cheesy_love challenge. My song was Poison's Every Rose Has Its Thorn. I'm not quite sure how I got this idea from it, but, well, my angsty mind gave birth to an angsty fic. The lyrics of the song serve as breaks. Also, the actual pairing might be a bit subtle; I intended it to be that way. X-posted to veronicamarsfic. Enjoy!

(Her pain is beautiful to him; beauty is his obsession.)

Title: Take My Hand
Author: cinaminsweet
Pairing/Character: Keith/Alicia, Veronica, Wallace, and even an appearance by little Darrell!
Word Count: 1,409
Rating: G
Summary: Veronica and Wallace try to get their parents back together.
Spoilers/Warnings: spoilers up to 2.05 "Blast from the Past."
Author's Note: All that is Veronica Mars is owned by the wonderful Rob Thomas, not me. This is written for the cheesy_love song challenge. My song was "Will You Still Love Me" by Chicago. Also written for my Veronica and Wallace BFF table at fanfic100 for the "Parents" prompt. I chose to write Keith/Alicia because I don't like that the Fennel family seems to have fallen off the face of the earth on the show.

“I can’t believe you want to get our parents back together. I thought PIs were better at breaking people up than getting them together.”

Title: You Put the Boom-Boom Into My Heart
Author: Sarah :)
Pairing: Logan/Veronica (with guest shots by Dick and Vinnie)
Rating: R (for language, just be safe on the safe side)
Spoilers: Through 2x16, The Rapes of Graff, but it's set in an AU season 2.
Word Count: 5027
Summary: She's his lady, he's her fool. Why must they fight?
Disclaimer: Not mine. Duh.
Thanks: HUUUUGE thanks go out to my truly outrageous betas, onastick and shizam23. YOU two make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day! Thanks also to the fabulous herowlness for the encouragement, and to sadiekate, whose offhanded comment in my Veronica Mars Character Meme (You can still go and play! Better late then never, right?) spurred the crack along. Because she's PERCEPTIVE, that girl ;).
Final notes: This was written for cheesy_love's Cheesy Love Song Challenge. My song, Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go SHOULD have inspired the crackiest crackfic EVER. Instead....this one turned out kind of normal. The only crack part is the part that really has nothing to do with the song. Go figure, huh? :) Anyway, because of said scene, this is part of my Babes In Toyland series. Hee.

Crossposted to veronicamarsfic and my fic journal, crackapalooza, where you can find all of my work. And all of my crack.

You can download the song, as well as see the lyrics and watch the CHEESETASTIC video here.

Summary: AU, Logan’s wakes up to find he’s cheated on his girlfriend of three years
Spoilers: Just in case, up to 220 “Look Who’s Stalking Now.” And as a warning, people might be slightly out of character.
Author’s Note: Cheesy Love Song Challange. My song was Celine Dion’s Power of Love; Sorry if my submission was a little late. I was scrambling to finish this on time, so the endings a little rushed.

Title: Where there's a will, there's a way.
Author: QUEEN_HAQ
Characters/Pairings: Logan/Veronica
Rating: R
Length: ~3000 words
Spoilers/Warnings: None. Future fic.
Summary: I think there's fornication. I could be wrong though.
Notes: Written for the 'Gotcha' challenge at loveathons and the cheesy_love challenge. My song was 'I touch myself'. Fun, huh?

A big thank you to my fabulous beta jaggedreality.

This fic takes place in the same universe as Movies. Park. Church. Forest., Quickest way to get into hell and A Room With A View. It's a L/V public fuck fic... except not so public this time. This can be considered a prequel to Quickest way to get into hell. It's not necessary to have read all the other pieces as they're pretty much stand-alone. Enjoy!
