New Challenges

General challenge

  1. Friday the 13th attacks challenge - characters are your choice. One or more characters are hit by the evil that is Friday the 13th. think black cats and walking under ladders. Let the bad luck rain down on them
  2. Omega_h writes:
    Mouth Like a Hoover challenge - I want a Story containing a crucifix ( or several), the phrase "That guy has a mouth like a Hoover" (from the movie Cruel Intentions ) and a closet. (preferably the whole story takes place in it but I'm not picky)

Fandom generated challenge

  1. [Judith writes] Star Trek - What if Kirk and Spock are stranded on a planet, one of them is injured or ill and the other has to earn money for food and medical care, and getting paid for sex is the only realistic alternative? And what if the third party was *not* a villain? What if that person were a decent person or even a relatively spiritual person? What if the third party was an aging woman? What if Kirk, or Spock, developed a relationship with the person based on love and respect, even if the sexual aspect of their relationship remained strictly utilitarian and even mercenary? Could such a scenario be written? How would it work with Kirk, or Spock, as the person who "sells himself"? 
  2. [Robin writes] - Star Trek - Make Spock a vampire, with all the usual attributes eg, charisma, brute strength, anti cross loving, garlic hating, the old "I can come inside if you invite me in" trick. And then have Kirk as the "slayer".  Ok, so if you want to have Spock around for the comfort after the hurt, how about good old Doc fixes him right up again (minus the vampire curse... or is he? <g>)
