Both characters work at a hospital. One is support staff of some sort and pissed at the bureaucracy of the administration. The other is a doctor with a good heart who is up for an administrative position and plans to make changes once he/she gets it...but plans to keep that part a secret until after the position is his/hers, of course. These two characters meet and become friends--maybe more (you decide)--until the support staff person finds out the doctor's status, unwilling to give him/her the chance to explain.

a runaway gets a job in a factory to survive, but gives a fake address on the application to get hired. the owner/manager/supervisor finds out. the runaway fears losing the job, but instead, the superior feels admiration and lets the runaway stay. the superior quickly falls for the runaway, but the runaway fears sexual harassment or other forms of taking advantage. it's your job to flesh out the plot with whatever characters you like and solve this dilemma. :-)

People sharing a bunkhouse in the Old West (think Pony Express way station, etc.) that is fairly isolated, requiring trips to the nearest towns (which may be half or whole days away) for supplies, making "Indian" attacks a danger, as well as bears and wolves.

I probably should have mentioned, too, that I work nights, so...please be patient with me if I don't approve your posts or membership requests right away. I will check on things at least once a day. I hope at some point to get a moderator to help me with things. I have a friend or two who will probably be more than happy to help me.... I just need to point them in this direction! LOL!

Hehe, I just love the newbie post. My name is Meredith or [info]cravinglunacy if you prefere. I have written in seveal fandoms, mostly King Arthur. I have an AU where I've stuck poor ol' Tristan in the Dark-Hunter universe. Poor thing was mad at me, but then he was redeemed so he's not so unhappy anymore. I also write in the SG1, Pitch Black/Riddick, LotR. It's fun when you can put Riddick in the SGC.

If anyone is interested in any of these, let me know and I'll start posting. I plan on starting to post PAX (KA/DH) here in a bit.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and happy writing!

P.S. Pardon the lack of tags. I haven't yet worked out the whats and wherefores yet here.

When you join, feel free to post a brief introductory post to let us know the characters/fandoms you write. If they aren't in the interests already, I'll probably add them so we can attract more people in your fandoms!

Myself, I'm mostly into BTVS/ATS and Bones these days. I have, in the past, written some Han/Leia fic for the Star Wars 'verse. I have yet to write AU, but I really would like to, and I have come up with my first fully fleshed-out idea, so...when I get the time to tackle the project, I'm gonna go for it.

Again, welcome to you all! I look forward to getting to know you as fellow writers!
