    Well, I wouldn't read ALL of them. ;) But you can look at mine here, and then look at my list of "Favorite Authors" on there and check out their stories too. :) Many of the writers here are in my faves there and have some great stuff!

    And welcome to the thread, Nicky's Honey! Stick around and join the next challenge! :)

    Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #19- "100 Years"

    Just a quick post. I apologize for the delay, and the lack of worthy, detailed reviews. Sometimes life throws us major curve balls, and the things we love to do (i.e. fanfic) get placed on the back burner...so to speak.

    Anyway, I quickly read all the stories, and they all read great. I hope to read them over again in a few weeks, and leave a better review for the writers who took the time to entertain us.

    Again, I apologize for not reviewing sooner, or with more detailed reviews.

    Take Care All,

    Kelli

    Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #19- "100 Years"

    Sounds cool! If you want to use it in the challenge tho, the song will have to be one that's put up here for a round. :) So if you want to enter a song into the selections you can PM or email it to me if you can't PM yet. My address is in my profile. :)

    That goes for everyone else too! :) We are down to the last song, so if you want to submit one for use in the challenge, go ahead and send it to me. :)

    Thanks to everyone who wrote and/or reviewed this round! It's time to reveal the authors, and then if they want to they can tell a little bit about their story and/or post it elsewhere. :)

    Stolen Time
    - Jacqui
    One Minute Lifetime - Smokey
    Moments - ~fox~
    I Remember - Speedystokesgirl


    Mine didn't take a lot of thought, really. It's pretty much in line with the song...remembering moments in a lifetime and how quickly it all went by when it's over...or when you think it could be over. :)

    I was originally going to kill off Nick's dad - you know, since I'd already killed off his mom :) But I've done a lot of stories about Nick and his family so I wanted to do something a little different this time around.

    Can't wait to see what Smokey's song is!

    ETA: By the way, ~fox~, my stories are also on ff.net - the link is in my signature line.

    Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #19- "100 Years"

    No need to pick a number for this round, since there is only one song choice left in the pool. :) If people want to suggest one for the next rounds, just send it to me in a PM or email. :) And now...



    It's time for Round 20 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, May 21, 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! [​IMG]

    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 "Save Me From Myself" by Vertical Horizon, submitted by Smokey! You can listen to it here. It's You Tube, so I hope everyone can see it. And here are the lyrics...


    Save Me From Myself

    Written by Matt Scannell

    The clouds are rollin' in
    Who will watch them?
    The waves are strong
    The boat is gone
    I hope they're swimming

    Little boy lost in the woods
    Where's the clearing?
    The town is out
    They're calling loud
    But he's not hearing

    It seems to me I'm always miles away
    Looking for my old face

    Save me from myself
    I can't relate
    We're mouth to mouth
    And still I suffocate
    There's nothing left
    Inside for me to break
    Save me from myself

    The bullet in the yard
    Is slowly rusting
    The bottles crack
    The kid's come back
    And I'm just looking

    The wine is on the floor
    The candles flicker
    Your eyes fall
    And I'm apalled
    It's all just cinder

    It seems to me we're always miles apart
    Trying to find another place to start

    Save me from myself
    I can't relate
    We're mouth to mouth
    And still I suffocate
    There's nothing left
    Inside for me to break
    Save me from myself

    The sailors never left
    They knew the weather
    When they were found
    They were having drinks together

    They found the little boy
    In the grocery
    Happy endings all around
    And still they haunt me

    Save me from myself
    I can't relate
    We're mouth to mouth
    And still I suffocate
    There's nothing left
    Inside of me to break
    Save me from myself

    Save me from myself
    There's nothing left inside me
    There's nothing left

    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! :)
