Re: Nick Fic Song Ch #6 - "If Today Was Your Last Day"- Stories Up!
Thanks for reviewing and for your comments on my story,
Egeria!
And thank you,
NickyFan, for choosing a number!
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, October 17, 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 the song choice for the 7th Nick Fic Song Challenge is "It Was an Accident" by Don Conoscenti and was submitted by yours truly,
Smokey!
This guy is a buddy of mine and an awesome singer/songwriter! And the cool thing is, this can be a case story if you want, and you can make Nick be any of the parts in the song...any of them or none of them! I think it's wide open for a lot of different stories.
If you'd like to hear it, here is a
link. I hope it works for everyone. It's the only one out there.
And here are the lyrics...
It Was an Accident
Written and performed by Don Conoscenti
it was an accident. i didn't mean to do it
come on now, i need you to understand
can you get here quick?
the police are probably coming
someone would've heard the shot
i could really use a hand
how do i get myself into these things?
i can't get myself back out
it was an accident. i didn't even know him
he said "give me all your money and don't try to fight"
he had a gun on me right at my own front door
i was frozen till the neighbor put on a light
that's when i kicked as hard and fast as i could
he went right down. i got him good
then i reached for his gun
it was an accident. i didn't mean to do it
i hear sirens coming now. can you get here quick?
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!
