Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #4 - "11th Commandment"-Authors Revealed!

I suppose we could go ahead and announce the next challenge which would give us more time to write. :) Anyone have any objections to that?

I'm okay with that....hopefully my writer's block gremlin has disappeared
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #4 - "11th Commandment"-Authors Revealed!

Just wanted to let you know I've updated the current challenge page to include the following:

1. Names of authors on the index page
2. Each story now links to its own page of reviews
3. Published stories are linked via review pages.

I know some people haven't published their story elsewhere yet, please let me know when you do and I'll update your review page.

If you refresh your cache you should be able to see the changes.
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #4 - "11th Commandment"-Authors Revealed!

Thanks for keeping the page updated, Egeria! :)

Okay then! We'll have almost three weeks to write then. Hopefully that means everyone will have time to come up with something. :)

First person to post after me...give me a number between 1 and 6. :)
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #4 - "11th Commandment"-Authors Revealed!

Thank you, GNRFan! :)

But...*sigh*...no one ever picks MY number! :lol:


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 29, at midnight EST. (That date is correct, so it's almost three weeks to write this time.)

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 the song choice for the 5th Nick Fic Song Challenge is "Storm" by Lifehouse and was submitted by Princess! A very beautiful song! I'm sure we'll get some wonderful stories from it!

If you'd like to hear it, here is a link to You Tube. And here are the lyrics...


Storm
Written by Jason Wade
Performed by Lifehouse

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright

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 Ch #5 - "Storm"

Sweet....my song suggestion got selected...now I just to have to start thinking of some ideas.
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Well, the time has come to let you all know that I'm taking a break from writing for the Song Fic Challenge.

I'll maintain the website as usual, no worries on that front! (In fact, the next set of graphics is ready to go :D)

So, if anyone wants a beta reader, then I'm available this round to beta. Just pm me and we'll talk.

I'm looking forward to reading the stories!
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Okay..for this first time. I have no clue what I want to write. I'll have to watch some epies to get some ideas!
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

The idea I had originally is not working out, so I'll have to either think of something else or skip this round. Hopefully I'll be able to think of something else.
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Funny...an idea hit me right away when I read the lyrics. :lol: I'm not sure it will pan out, but it's an idea at least.

I think these lyrics might work best if a line or two is picked out instead of going for the overall theme. I think that could result in quite a variety of stories. :)
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Congrats Princess on your song being chosen. I love this band, love their songs, they have been an inspiration to me, especially the Lifehouse's Everything Skit, it's on youtube, very powerful.

I haven't heard of this song before so Storm will be one of those songs that I will have to reach in and grab something, maybe a line, a word or the true meaning of the song. It is a Christian group and their work speaks for itself.

I just hope I can do it justice. Good job Princess!
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Lifehouse is a Christian group? I've listened to quite a bit of their music and I never knew that. :lol:
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Hi All,

Sorry to say, but I'll be sitting this challenge out. Between physical therapy :scream:, getting things ready for classes this fall :confused:, and being behind on updating my other story :(, I'm going to take some time to work on those. I'll definitely read and review the stories, and will participate in the next challenge.

Good luck and good writing to everyone.

Take care,
Kell
 
Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #5 - "Storm"

Umm...Just wondering, is it too late to enter the challenge? I have an idea for this....And I have a song too in case you need one :D
