Re: Nick Fic Song Fic Challenge
Sorry to make you all wait all day. But now, the time has come to announce the next challenge! Thank you, NickyFan, for picking a number for me.
Something new this time too! GregNickRyanFan...our trusty Fan Fic mod and Nick fic author extraordinaire...is going to update the title of our thread to reflect where we are...that is, when the theme is open, the stories are up, etc. I hope it will make it easier for participants to see when it's time to visit the thread.
I have kind of an incomplete list of participants this time. Some people haven't responded, but I'm sure they'll play....right?? 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 2,000. 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, July 4, 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.
I think we're going to get some good stories out of this round. This is a great choice! The winning song is "The Change" by Garth Brooks and submitted by Jacqui! If you'd like to hear it, here are a couple of links to it. I hope they can be used by those outside of the US too. If not, do a Google search on it and see if you can find one. It's really worth hearing! And here are the lyrics...
The Change
Written by Tony Arata and Wayne Tester
Performed by Garth Brooks
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
Its like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm.
And I hear them saying you'll never change things and no matter
What you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this
World will know that it will not change me.
This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist.
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss.
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone.
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change 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 Fic Challenge
Jacqui I am in awe. Complete and total awe. I cannot think of a more perfect Nick song. It's more than perfect. It's...it's...indescribable.
Now...to try and write a story worthy of these amazing lyrics.
I'm in awe. Jaw dropping awe.

I was going to reply and say barring any major crisis I was in this theme, but now I'm extra super motivated.
Come on story idea! Come on!

Re: Nick Fic Song Fic Challenge
Great song, Jacqui.
I just have to ask since July 4th is a holiday, will some of you be too busy to submit a fic? How about making for July 6th.

Re: Nick Fic Song Fic Challenge
Well, it's due by then, but it's still 2 weeks to get it completed. If anyone has a problem or needs an extension tho when the time comes, just let me know.
If any of you still have the cool banner that Egeria made as your signature, you might want to update the link to the new post. Thanks! Let me know if you need instructions!

Love, love, love this song, excellent choice Jacqui. Now all I have to do is come up with an idea, any idea, a small clue would be good.
Lately the writing muse has been busy elsewhere, as is proven by the slow updates on my Quantico story on FF. What can you do, but wait.
Good writing everyone, and may the writing muse be with you all.
Take Care,
Kelli

Re: Nick Fic Song Challenge #3 - "The Change" - Now Open
Me too! Well, not an entire story. I don't think I've ever heard this particular Garth song which is odd since I know many of his songs. :lol: But, when I first read the lyrics, I got an idea off the first couple of lines. Hopefully I'll be able to put it all together. :lol:
Great song choice, Jacqui!
I am so so sorry to say that I have an entire story in my head already.
