This asylum has changed its focus to keeping fans, new and old, up to date on various sports and their athletes. We welcome articles, pictures, icons, and videos chronicling 'canon' moments and events. Fics are still welcomed at sports_rpf, but keep it to athletes and sports that are considered in professional leagues and not college level.

I found an interesting slideshow of hugging athletes. All in all 65 pictures, all from the US and a variety of sports (even one of gymnasts Liukin and Johnson). Check it out here

"Professional sports is serious business. You have to be tough to handle the pressure. The competition is fierce, but it can also be extremely emotional. And when those emotions boil over, even the strongest guys (and girls) on the planet can be turn into huggers. Check out these athletes embraced in the passion that is professional sports."

PLEASE DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CHALLENGE/PROMPT SUBMITTALS/ETC. TO THE bangingtb COMMUNITY.

Challenge: "That doesn't mean I can't bang Tom Brady!" bangingtb

Supposedly straight guy from Boston: Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the NFL.
Skinny Asian guy: I don't think he's the best, but he's pretty good.
Attractive, tall guy: He's no Joe Montana.
Supposedly straight guy from Boston: That's bullshit, he's the best ever, and you can't really argue that point. Just look at how many touchdowns he has.
Skinny Asian guy: Man, you are in love with him, it's a little scary.
Supposedly straight guy from Boston (completely serious): I am, I would totally let him fuck me if he would let me hang out with him...I would be the man.
Skinny Asian guy: I thought you were straight?
Supposedly straight guy from Boston: Fuck you! I am straight but that doesn't mean I can't bang Tom Brady. I wouldn't give him oral though, I don't think.
Overweight Hispanic guy drinking appletini: Football sucks compared to soccer.
[Overheard in NYC]

Tom Brady is becoming the little black dress of smut the way Faith and Krycek were before him. Anyone who wouldn't normally bang Tom Brady-a football player-a man-any other way you interpret this challenge is fair game to bang Tom Brady (or just think or talk about it). RPF/S is allowed, since, obviously, we're already going there with Tom. HOWEVER, other NFL players are excluded from this challenge. I know, I know, that isn't fair. But, really, can't you think of two or three other places to find NFL RPF/S right off the top of your head? I knew you could.

RULES: bangingtb is members-only. Please join the community to participate and read fics. Everyone is welcome. Members-only status ensures that people who don't want to see this won't.

This will be a prompt-based challenge with a 500 word minimum. You can write as many prompts as you like, as long as you finish one before continuing on to the next. Prompts can have multiple authors.

You have until January 23 to submit prompts here.
Please submit them in this format: PERSON WHO CAN BANG TOM BRADY, FANDOM, PROMPT IF DESIRED
***NFL players need not apply***
Anyone can submit prompts. Submitting a prompt does not commit you to writing.
Submit as many prompts as you like. Duplicate characters with different prompts are welcome.

Prompts will be compiled and placed in another post the weekend of Jan. 24-25.
You will then have until the end of the NFL Scouting Combine (Feb. 26) to post drabbles/ficlets/fics in this community.

Any questions can be placed here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: By its very nature this challenge will contain Real Person Fiction/Slash (RPF/S). None of the participants or runners of this challenge actually believe Tom Brady is being banged by all and sundry, nor do we make any assumptions about his life or character. The character of Tom Brady for purposes of this fic challenge is a creation very loosely based on Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots. All fics here are written for fun and laughs and are not in any way intended to be depictions of actions and beliefs of the real life Tom Brady.

Solving the Backup Problem

Erm. Argh. Baseball RPF got outed again. From theboysofsummer (link):

Attention, attention.
Thanks to a couple writers / fics being outed on Sons of Sam Horn and Deadspin, some writers are locking down their fic. Whether or not you choose to do this is up to your own discrtion, however-- if you lock your fic in an external journal / writing community, don't link it here. Post a locked entry to [info]theboysofsummer, or a public entry here. Posts that community members can't read unless they friend you will be deleted.

Strengthening your disclaimers is strongly encouraged. The one we use here is pretty solid.

Here is the link to the Deadspin article. I couldn't find the one on Sons of Sam Horn. Even worse, it's RPS incest they linked to. Yeah, they linked to the LiveJournal itself. *facepalm*

This asylum uses the "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results" option so you don't have to worry about locking things down here if you don't want to.

I would suggest, however, your journals have the "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results" option enabled. Here for LiveJournal and here for InsaneJournal.

I'm putting on my mod hat as I promote this event:

Don't forget about livelongnmarry!

What is this?
Live Long And Marry is a fandom auction to benefit marriage equality. Bidding begins on July 1, 12:01 AM one minute after midnight Pacific Time, 2008, and closes on July 15, 12:01 AM one minute after midnight Pacific Time, 2008. Please do not bid until bidding opens.

What's the cause?
The auction will raise money for the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones. If the initiative passes, it will write discrimination into the state constitution, annull existing marriages, and make Mr. Sulu cry.

How can I help?
You can bid on fanfic, original fic, vids, cookies, memorabilia, critique/betas, and much more! Or you can offer your skills and services as a writer, vidder, baker, knitter, or whatever else you'd like.

Bidding tips is here. Tag list is here for your convenience.
