Hey...I know I said I'd join awhile ago and then didn't 'cause I was busy, but I think I'll definitely be joining in the next challenge.

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2
50/50...that is better!
But I know my luck...it's pretty bad!:lol:
I'll put it up this weekend...most likely on Sunday, BUT...what I need is for everyone who still wants to participate to send me new song choices if yours has already been chosen and you haven't sent me a new one yet.
I am hoping to see mine picked eventually....
Well, the odds are getting better! :lol: Yours and Americanstalker are the only two left before we start over again.

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2
Yay! It's always great to get a new (to the challenge) writer in the mix! Welcome!
I think we'll go ahead and get started with the next challenge, so the first person to post after me, pick a number between 1 and 10. Yes, I know there are only two song choices left, but this is my system. :lol:

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2
Thank you, Athersgeo!
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 6, 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 All We Are by Matt Nathanson, submitted by Nicksfriend (if this isn't the right song, let me know ASAP), a very pretty song that you can hear here. And here are the lyrics...
All We Are
I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Buttons sold like property
Sugar on my tongue
I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
I wasted, wasted love for you
Traded out for something new
Well, it's hard to change the way you lose
If you think you never won
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful
And in the end the words won't matter
'Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain
'Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real
All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful
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
That's so funny! I just came across this song and bought it from the iTunes store. Still have to get it on my iPod, though. :shifty:
In any case, I was thinking of sending it in for my next song choice. :lol: Guess I don't have to now.

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up!
I wish there were classes that taught how to think outside the box... cause I've always wanted to be able to do it and I've never been able to. :lol:
I love Matt Nathanson. I think I heard this song on an ep of NCIS. :lol:
I can try to come up with something for this one, but not making any promises. I've got a tiny idea, but I don't know if it will go anywhere. Sometimes I get an idea, but when I try to make it into a story, it just doesn't happen for me. :lol: We shall see.
Good song choice.
I edited the title to reflect the new challenge. I didn't count the Christmas challenge in the number since it was an extra thing. So this will be challenge number nine.

Good to see some interest in this one!
Thanks for changing the thread title, GNRFan!
As for song choices, we still have Americanstalker's song for this first go around, so that will be next. Then we'll start over again.
The ones that I have officially for the next round are from MyFutureCSI and Athersgeo. I had some people send more choices at various times over the challenge, but if everyone could just shoot me a PM or email again just to make sure, that would be great!
Also, please note that the deadline is three weeks this time. I hope that works for everyone.

I sent you one a while back, but I went ahead and sent it again to confirm.

I like the lyrics of this song and I've already got one planned.
