There was an overwhelming majority that voted for fics to be posted in two batches, and it will make things easier for me, so I've decided to go ahead with that.

This will be a one-off. The next challenge will be back to the old rules to try and keep things fair for all the writers.

Ok, I know some of you are still writing and not near finished. If I don't post batch two for a few days, will you be able to finish?

Or should I post batch 2 within 24 hours of the first batch?

Title: The Most Boring New Year's Eve Party Ever
Written By: sonofabiscuit77
Timeline: Future
Rating: R
Summary: Gus is forced to attend Brian & Justin's New Year's Eve Party, meanwhile B&J have resolutions of their own...
Author's Notes: This is a sequel to a previous fic of mine: "The Lamest Most Half-Assed Plan in the Universe" which I wrote for the icon challenge. You don't have to have read that to read this (but it helps!). Anyway, you should know that that took place about 20 years after 513, Justin had left Brian for a few weeks to live in LA and a 19-year-old Gus flew out there to help fix their relationship. This fic takes place about two months later. Many thanks and kudos once again to a great beta in singlewoman0604 for your comments and corrections.

I've been in a mad rush, sorry for the weird postings, guys.

The first batch of fics have been posted, thanks to all the writers. I'm sorry I didn't have time to reply to all your emails.

The second batch will be posted in 2 days. They're due before midnight on January 2 (US time). I'll post any fics that have come in before then. Hopefully you will all be finished by then.

Once more, fics are in random order and anonymous until the big reveal. Authors are asked not to comment on their fics or cross post them to maintain anonymity.

Thanks!

Happy new year to all!
