Title: A Christmas Miracle (Though I toyed with You Don't Have to Be Alone)
Rating: R for usage of the 'f' word a time or two.
Challenge/Song/Prompt: Christmas Challenge number 2 =]
Characters/Summary: Justin/JC/Nickole. Sometimes, all it takes is a little faith.
Warnings: Some swear words. That's about it this time around =]
Disclaimer: I own nothing but my imagination and Nickole.

The story itself:

( A Christmas Miracle )

I do have a request for all you lovely writers out there. I have been stuck on two songs: 'Secret' by Maroon 5 and 'Push' by Matchbox Twenty. If any of you could make a short story (I like the saucier ratings, ps, haha) out of either with JC as the main character, I'd love you forever! <3

A little delayed, but I decided to write one for a challenge since my writers block is keeping me from my own stories (I was going to do the Christmas one, but am not in the spirit anymore *sigh*) Enjoy!

Title: 'Catch Me'
Rating: PG/PG-13ish for some mild language.
Challenge/Song/Prompt: Challenge #2
Characters/Summary: JC/Danielle. 'Sometimes the simplest words are the most difficult.'
Warnings: Nothing bad. But hey, if you're offended by love and some mild language, it isn't for you, haha.
Disclaimer: I do not own JC. He is not my slave. My imagination and character is mine, though. Steal it, well ... I really can't do anything about it. =]

I know Kaleena just posted a new challenge and some of you are still writing about that, but if you're in the mood for something festive, here's another one.


 In honor of the upcoming holiday, here's a Christmas challenge for you.

#1) How many of you have (jokingly or not) wished for one of the guys as a present under your Christmas tree? What if Santa actually granted your wish, and you came downstairs to find a bewildered *NSYNC-er sitting in your living room? What would you do? What would you tell him? This is your chance to make your Christmas wish come true.

#2) Justin (or whomever) is tired of the being alone on Christmas when all of his friends and family seem to be happily paired off. As a joke, he writes a letter to Santa, wishing for his ideal girl. His wish comes true. How they meet and what happens is up to you.

Merry Christmas! As always, template rules apply. No time or rating restrictions. Have fun!

Four stories later, here's my submission for Challenge #2! :)

Title: You Don't Know

Rating: R

Challenge/Song/Prompt: Challenge #2 / A Love Confession

Characters/Summary: "A boy and a girl can be friends, but at one point, one will fall for the other, maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, or maybe, just maybe forever..." Just a simple little short. JC's fallen in love with the one person in his life that has always made sense to him-- his best friend, Samantha.

Warnings: Contains some strong language, but that's about it. It's pretty tame. :)

Disclaimer: Sadly I've never met JC so I can't say I own him. I WISH I did, but don't we all? And this is my first JC fanfic in about 6 years...he's my absolute favorite so I'm really picky about what I write about him.

Title: Standing On The Edge Of Goodbye
Rating: PG-13
Challenge/Song/Prompt: Challenge One - Song Prompt - Angsty and Lovelorn - Amsterdam by Coldplay
Characters/Summary: Character intentionally left unnamed to fit whomever the reader wants to see
Warnings:
Disclaimer: Don't know any of the real celebs featured. I'm just borrowing them. No copyright infringement intended.
Link: here or here

So, I'm thinking that we need to post more challenges, rather than the once a month thing. We had some momentum, and then it kinda grinded to a halt. For you authors/potential challenge participants, what do you want to see in future challenges? Song fics, crossovers, specific themes, word prompts? Picture prompts?  If you have an idea feel free to post it! Otherwise, I'll be back sometime this weekend or next week with another challenge.

Ever really want to write, but you don't know what to write about or just need a little inspiration to get it started? Like the challenge of writing fiction in response to prompts? If so, you're in the right place! Welcome to *NF Challenges!

I'm Kaleena and I'll be managing, updating, and posting the challenges, along with our amazing talented and helpful webmistress, Tia. We're really excited to open up this section of the site, to get everyone who visits the *N-F.com archive involved: writing, participating, requesting, and brainstorming! This challenge site will combine a fiction "request" forum with elements of a typical challenge site, that is, incorporating specific themes, objects, etc. in a story.

Challenges will be posted every month, but if you have a specific request for a story, feel free to post it whenever. For those responding to challenges or requests, please add your story in a new post (not as a comment) using an lj-cut* for the story itself and the following template:

The first challenge is coming very soon and we want to get everyone who wants to write, writing. So, be creative and enjoy! :)




*To add an lj-cut, use the code: <*lj-cut text="STORY TITLE HERE"> paste story here </lj-cut*> -- without the asterisks!

As much as I loved the other layout, it wouldn't show any of the sidebar info except the calendar, so I had to change it. This one is still pretty though.

We're still trying to get organized, but if you guys want to start submitting challenge ideas, that would be awesome. I've never run a challenge site, and I'm pretty sure Kaleena hasn't either, but we're both willing to learn as we go along. So, any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
