Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #13- "How To Save A Life"
Thanks for picking a number,
GNRFan!
It's time for Round 14 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,August 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!
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 "Superman Tonight" by Bon Jovi, submitted by
Athersgeo! You can listen to it
here. It's You Tube, so I hope everyone can see it. And here are the lyrics...
Superman Tonight
written by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Billy Falcon
There's something about you
I want to rescue
I don't even know you
So what does that mean
Maybe I'm cynical
I'm painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you
Who's going to save you
When the stars fall from your sky
And who's going to pull you in
When the tide gets too high
Who's going to hold you
When you turn out the lights
I won't lie I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
If somebody sent you
An angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away
That your heart don't break
That your lips don't kiss
That life is just a lie
That heaven don't exist?
CHORUS
Who's going to fix you
The next time you break down
Stranded alone by the side of the road
It's your baggage that's dragging you down
Don't look back
Let it go
CHORUS
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!
