Here it is, 24 hours late, with my sincere apologies for tardiness.
Title: We'll Roll Down Interstate 94
Author: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chicklet_girl
Summary: Look, planning a road trip for 13 people is just complicated, all right?
Rating: PG
Words: 2225
Spoilers: For O11 and O12
Warnings: There's a mention of creamed spinach.
Recipient: luzdeestrellas
Notes: Luz, I'm so sorry, but this turned out to use only part of one of your prompts: "Gen, 11 people on a roadtrip ends in either fun or the emergency room. Rusty suspects this trip probably means the latter. It doesn't help that Danny won't tell them why they're going." For whatever reason, my brain insisted on Linus's POV, and on the planning of the trip instead of the trip itself. But I incorporated another of your prompts as a bonus, and there's hero-worship of Rusty, so I hope it's okay. Title is from "Dream Vacation" as performed by Gear Daddies, music and lyrics by Martin Zellar. This icon is by mousapelli, who posted icons for every O11 character for last year's ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) takethehouse challenge. I think musesfool betaed almost every story in the challenge this year, including this one. Thanks for kicking my ass so quickly, babe.

| fic: Courage and Convictions (Rusty/Linus) |
[06 Sep 2006|10:09pm] |
Title: Courage and Convictions
Author: flyakate (KatStarling9@yahoo.com)
Summary: Linus needs to steal some things, but others only take the courage to want them.
Rating: R
Recipient: trakkie
Notes: Written for the takethehouse challenge and more specifically trakkie, who wanted Rusty/Linus: Linus is almost a master thief. Hope this amuses and satisfies. No characters within belong to me (though neither does the airport policy about no liquids, of course). Enjoy!

| Fic: Get Right (gen) |
[06 Sep 2006|07:13pm] |
Title: Get Right
Author: amatia
Summary: Rusty's sixteen when he meets Danny, in the courthouse waiting to see a judge.
Rating: PG-13 for language
Recipient: flyakate
Notes: I used elements from three of the requests in this story. It's kinda long. I didn't expect to end up writing fourteen pages of backstory! *g* flyakate, I hope you like it! (Many thanks to rossetti and schuyler for reading and more reading and beta work.)

| Take the House II: O11 fication signups open |
[27 Jul 2006|10:13am] |
When that perfect hand comes along, you bet big, then you take the house.
Take the House II: An Ocean's Eleven ficathon.
If I'm reading this right, and I'd like to think I am
This is a fic exchange, which means that everyone who signs up gets to write a fic, and have a fic written for them, based on one of (up to) four requested scenarios you'll list when you sign up.
All fic will, obviously, be based on the films and feature the characters from Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve. Slash, het and gen fic are all welcome, and you may request a crossover, though there's no guarantee you'll get it.
We all have personal pairing preferences (including no pairing, for some folks) so to make things a little easier on everyone, one of your requests MUST be gen - no pairing involved. It can be caper fic or character study or buddy fic or whatever, but just so there's no "I got someone who requested four different Saul/Rusty prisonsex scenarios and I can't write that!" situations (not that I think that would happen), one request must be gen. Please keep your requests relatively open and flexible (i.e., don't write the story for the author), and know that everything you requested may not make it into the story.
In writing your story, you do not need to include all of the requested things – you only need to use one of them. If you'd like to do more, that's fine, but it's not required.
You'll be matched randomly, with the "four things I don't want/won't write" part taken into account (i.e., if you won't write Saul/Rusty prisonsex, you'll get something that has other options *g*). While stories won't be posted anonymously - you'll all post your stories here in takethehouse - please keep your recipient in the dark while you write. It's more fun that way.
Mark your calendars
Sign-ups open today, July 27, 2006 and will close Monday, July 31, 2006.
You’ll receive your assignment no later than Wednesday, August 2, 2006.
Stories will be due on Wednesday, September 6, 2006.
Please do not post your story anywhere else for a week, i.e., until September 13 (though feel free to link to it).
How to play:
1. Comment to this post with
your name/pseud:
your email addy:
your lj: (if you have one)
up to four possible scenarios for your story (things like pairing, setting, supporting characters, phrases) note: At least one of your scenarios must be gen (i.e., including no pairing/having no pairing focus):
up to four things you don't want/won't write:
if can you write a back-up fic if needed:
Sample sign up:
1. your name/pseud: victoria p.
your email addy: victoria @ unfitforsociety.net
your lj: musesfool
up to four possible scenarios for your story (things like pairing, setting, supporting characters, phrases) note: At least one of your scenarios must be gen (i.e., including no pairing/having no pairing focus):

2. You'll receive your assignment sometime on Wednesday, August 2. It's a secret, so please don't tell or let your recipient or their friends know who you received.
3. Join takethehouse so you can post your fic. It's also probably a good idea to friend the community while the ficathon is going on, so you'll know if there are any announcements.

Okay, here's the list of story requests - both written and unwritten. The ones that were written in the challenge have ** after them (some people combined more than one scenario). You don't have to have participated in the ficathon, or even be a member of the community, to snag one of these.
Take it as a given that everyone wants to know about either the thing with the guy in Belize or the Incan matrimonial headmasks, though I did leave one or two of those requests on. I also edited out anything that was just "Rusty/Danny" or "Rusty/Linus" or "X-character-centric" because well, that's not really much to go on, is it?
( here's the list )
If you happen to write one of these ideas, please post a pointer to the finished story here in the community so the rest of us can read it, especially the person whose idea it turns out to be. *g*

Woo! The last of the stories has been posted!
I want to thank everyone who participated - so many great stories in one spot makes me dizzy with happiness. And I especially want to thank those people who had to wait a few extra days for their stories, and the pinch hitters who stepped up and provided.
All y'all deserve a big round of applause.
( the updated Master List )
Now that all 36 stories are in, feel free to post/archive yours wherever you like, and thanks for waiting a bit so we could drive people to the community and get some momentum going here.
I'll have the list of prompts up soonish, if people are looking for more inspiration. *g*
Thanks again. We'll have to do it again sometime. *G*
