Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #16- "Never Let Me Down Agai I'll change the thread title when the next song is posted.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #16- "Never Let Me Down Agai Awww...sorry! I'll make sure you're in the next round selection. And anyone else who hasn't and wants to send in a song. It's time for Round 17 of the Nick Fic Song Challenge! Remember, everyone reading the thread is welcome to submit a story! And now the guidelines...PLEASE read them all carefully! If you have any questions, let me know here or via PM/email. Thanks! 1. Word limit on the fic is 2,500. Please remember to give the fic a title and a short summary (neither are counted in the word limit). 2. The only restrictions on the content of the fic are that Nick must be the main character and that the story must be based on the song lyrics (below). You can base your fic on the idea of the song, whole or in part, use some of the lyrics...whatever you want as long as the song is your inspiration. The fics will be presented later by way of a link, so there are no worries about mature content. 3. Please do not post your fic or any links here! Send your fic to me at the email in my profile (or you can PM it to me if it's short enough). If you email it, you can put it in the body of the email or send it as an attachment. Please put the title of your fic in the subject line of the PM or email. Deadline for submissions is Saturday, February 5, at midnight EST. 4. Submissions should be anonymous! Please do not share your story with anyone else or tell anyone which one is yours once they are posted! 5. If you would like to have someone beta (proofread) your story, please choose someone who is NOT a participant in this challenge. Or if you like, I will be happy to beta your story when you send it to me. Just let me know when you send it. 6. Once all of the stories are in, we will publish the links to them and everyone can start reading! 7. After you have read the fics, you can post feedback for them. I will post the feedback guidelines when we get the stories up. And now your inspiration for this challenge! The song is "Believe it or Not" by Joey Scarbury, submitted by GregNickRyanFan! You can listen to it here. It's You Tube, so I hope everyone can see it. And here are the lyrics... Believe it or Not Written by Mike Post and Stephen Geyer Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself; Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, Should've been somebody else. Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. Just like the light of new day, It hit me from out of the blue; Breakin' me out of the spell I was in, Makin' all of my wishes come true. Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. This is too good to be true, Look at me Falling for you. Believe it or not, Believe it or not, Believe it or not, Believe it or not. Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air, I never thought I could feel so free; Flyin' away on a wing and a prayer, Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. Remember, the most important thing is to be creative and have fun!! Try to think outside the box...do something out of the ordinary with it...use your imagination! And once again let me say, anything goes. You can ship, not ship, slash, not slash, angst, humor, romance, smut...whatever you want. We are just having fun here and being creative. All stories are welcome and encouraged. Now start writing!
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #16- "Never Let Me Down Agai Sorry for the double post, but I didn't want to put all of this in the challenge post. I love this song! :lol: For the younger ones who may not know, it was the theme song to the TV show, "The Greatest American Hero" which was on the air from 1981-1983. My friends and I thought it was the funniest show! Someone even made note of it when they signed my high school yearbook. :lol: Here is the intro to the show (along with the song) if you want to see it. It may or may not give you an idea for a song fic! :guffaw: See, the whole idea was, these aliens gave him the superhero suit which came with all kinds of powers, but they forgot to give him the instruction book. :lol: So the whole show he's not quite sure how to use the suit right. Anyway, thanks for picking this song, GNRFan, and bringing back memories! Now, if only I can think of a story idea.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" Okay, title is changed now. I hope I can come up with a fic idea this time lol. I know I say that every time and then nothing happens. I guess I'm gonna have to put out an APB on my fic muse LOL.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" I'm in on this challenge...for better or worse.:lol: Maybe worse cuz I do remember the Greatest American Hero show. William Katt was too cute back in the day. Good God I'm getting old...damn! Of course it beat the alternative, so I'm going to stop complaining, and return to...:lol: Take care, and looking forward to more amazing stories. Kelli Smokey, I'll email you with my next song choice, if that's ok?
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" Yep! That's great! Glad to see some interest brewing for this round!
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" I really wanna join this one but well... I have never heard of the song (as if I never knew a song you guys had chosen before ) Let's see if I can come up with something... BUT I'm sure Nick won't be a superhero in my fic :guffaw:
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" Shockingly, I was actually able to write something this time. I'll get it typed and sent in soon.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" Cool! I had an idea that I didn't think would work, but now that I think about it I just might be able to come up with something.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" I woke up at five something this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I worked on the fic instead. The idea I had when I started to write was completely different than what I actually ended up writing lol.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" I'm in the midst of my usual process.. get a great idea immediately, then take 3 weeks letting it float around in my mind. Of course, all the great ideas come when I'm in bed about to fall asleep, and then I forget them in the morning (had about 3 scenes figured out last night, can't remember a word of them now).
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" That happens to me a lot! :lol: Especially the ideas as I'm going to sleep. And with this challenge I usually end up writing the whole thing at the last minute, no matter how much time we've had.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #17- "Believe It Or Not" That happens to me too, which is why I keep a notebook and pens close to my bed lol. But if my muse wants me to write something badly enough, the idea never goes away even if I may want it to LOL.
