Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! Okay, so about my story... Well, the whole part about Carla taking the sheets and the couch and all came from a scene in the movie Rounders which I was watching the night before I started my story where the main character comes home and finds his girlfriend had taken pretty much everything (Albeit, in the movie, the girlfriend left because the guy was gambling after promising not to any more.) The flashback parts were actually not originally going to be in the story but I realized it was really short and I had time to add it. I also realized that the song had a bit of a happy tone to it, so I decided to show a bit of a happier side to their relationship. The last part I added was actually the part about them finding the apartment. I actually added that about 10 minutes before the deadline

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! Haha. Well, I've never been married and if I'd been living with past ex bfs, I probably would have done the same thing to them... but instead I just shredded all their pictures. :lol:

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! Feel free to submit it. So, we'll start the next round soon, but if you haven't sent in a song suggestion for the rotation, please go ahead and do so.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! Funny thing that happened is that the day one of my ex-boyfriends dumped me, my laptop (which contained all the pictures I had of him) decided to stop working for a while. The hard drive ended up having to be formatted, and thus I lost them. It was a sign, I guess. :guffaw:
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! YOU are right on that one AS. My suggestion for a song Garth Brooks Much too young (too feel this damn old) (Sorry with the upcoming Rascall Flatts epi on CSI:LV I've gone back to my country roots)
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #9- "All We Are"- Now Up! It's time for Round 10 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, March 13, 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. This is the last song of the first set. After this round we will begin again with everyone and choosing randomly each round, so if you want to submit a song and haven't yet, please do so. And now your inspiration for this challenge! The song is "You Found Me" by The Fray, submitted by Americanstalker! One of my favorites! Great song! You can listen to it here. And here are the lyrics... You Found Me Written by Joseph King and Issac Slade I found god On the corner of first and Amistad Where the west was all but won All alone, smoking his last cigarette I Said where you been, he said ask anything Where were you? When everything was falling apart All my days were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call That never came To the corner of first and Amistad Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me In the end everyone ends up alone Losing her, the only one who’s ever known Who I am, who I’m not, who I want to be No way to know how long she will be next to me Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Early morning, City breaks I’ve been calling for years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages You never send me no letters You got some kind of nerve, taking all I want Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Where were you where were you Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Why’d you have to wait? To find me, to find 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 #10- "You Found Me"- Now Up! Changed the title. Good song. I want to print it out so I can take it into my room cause I usually do my writing at night... but my printer is screwy at the moment. It takes ten minutes to print a tiny little song. It just started doing that back in December and I can't figure out what's wrong with the dumb thing. :lol:
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #10- "You Found Me"- Now Up! Great song. I love the Fray I'll try to enter this one. Not sure if I'll have the time, but I'll try.
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #10- "You Found Me"- Now Up! Good song choice! I'm in this will be a first ( crosses fingers)
Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge Thread #2- Ch #10- "You Found Me"- Now Up! I can't wait to see what we all come up with.....I'll definitely try to join in
