I'd like to thank you all for putting up with my absence and being a scatter-brain since the holidays. I'm back on track (sort of) and ready to have some fun.

Sorry there was no interim challenge as originally intended. Work was a bitch this week.

I have the next challenge - it's a photo challenge. Write the story that the picture tells you. One picture per story.

( under the cut to save space )

This challenge ends 3/6

Sorry....my addled and aged brain forgot to post this one over here. :(

Challenge #121 is your choice of one of two pictures. I chose these pictures cuz I'm freezing my arse off in way too much snow.







Have fun. This challenge will last until Jan 23rd.

I was going to do an interim challenge for one week - but Santa brought me a nasty head cold for Christmas and I'm just now feeling like a human again so....

the next challenge is:

any interpretation of the word resolution.

It can be a New Year's resolution. A resolution of a problem. Resolution of how to tell their friends.

However you interpret it. I'm still catching up on everyone's 25 Days of H/D stories - but am off work after tomorrow for a week.


Challenge #120 runs until January 9, 2010.

This is to put prompt #7 here. I will be posting #8 in a few minutes.

Oh and I dare you angst queens to make this prompt angsty. :P

Also - if you're not using the requested header - please do. I makes my life easier for keeping track of which prompt you're writing for.

Please see this post for all the rules. And btw...feel free to jump in anytime a prompt moves you. You don't have to post every day. ♥

I come bearing a special Holiday Challenge.

Your challenge is to write one fic for each picture and to post it within a 24 hour period. You can combine the pictures for your fic, but it will only count for one entry.

Additional rules: Prompts must be used in order, in order to be eligible for the prize. You have between midnight the day the prompt is posted - until the next prompt is posted to be eligible for the competition. You can post anytime for any prompt if you are posting for fun. If you are going out of town, email me. I'm willing to help out. Posts must be a minimum of 100 words - but there is no maximum.

Yes, you may combine this with other communities prompts.

NOTE: your fic does not have to be a story of the picture - you can use a part of the picture or what ever that picture says to you. Any questions - just ask!

For this challenge only, I would appreciate you using the following header:

Each day at midnight (EST) - the prompt for that day will become available by clicking the gift for that day. At the end of each day, the prompt will stay - without having to click on it to see it.

Please tag all entries: 2009hols

Okay...first off I need to apologize to everyone for falling off the face of the earth as mod here. There are some things going on in my family-life that have me tied in knots and obviously quite forgetful.

I completely forgot to post the challenge after the Halloween one. So with that in mind - here is the next challenge. It's a two-part challenge.

1) Select one of the four pictures under the cut to use in your story.

2) Your story must incorporate the word thankful.

( pics under here )

This challenge is for Halloween. There are several pictures under the cut. For this challenge - you can use one, all or none at all. Your fic must be themed for Halloween. Oh and btw...if you write a fic for each picture posted *not one fic using them all - one for each picture* there is a prize involved. :D

If more than one person writes for all the pictures, one name will be drawn. Tell your friends. I'd love to see a bunch of Halloween posts. It would make this mod very happy.

THIS CHALLENGE RUNS UNTIL NOVEMBER 1st

( On to the pictures )

Title: Surprise, Surprise!
Rating: PG-13 (yeah I know – blame my muse)
Word Count: 3,022
Challenge: Written for slythindor100's Challenge #111 – Birthday Boy and for hd_365 and is in that universe.
Warnings: It's me...it's Harry's birthday...you do the math.
A/N: Eternal gratitude to oldenuf2nb for helping out my tired brain and to eeyore9990 for the speedy beta and the title.

( Surprise, Surprise! )

First the confession. Challenge #111 is late because I kept hoping I would find time to write something for challenge #110. Well...it's not going to happen - so here is the new challenge.

Challenge #111 is for Harry's birthday and is "Birthday Boy".

Interpret anyway you chose and have fun.

This challenge runs until: August 1st

I'm finally here with challenge #110

away from home


Interpret it any way you chose - use it in your fic or as the theme. Up to you. I'm leaving Thurs am for SanFran...be nice while I'm gone and write.

I come bearing the next challenge. As we all know, Draco Malfoy's birthday is June 5th. This year he will celebrate his 29th birthday.

The challenge:

Write a fic depicting Draco's reaction to being 29. Is he excited? Is he worried about the big 3-0 looming ever closer? Does it not matter as long as Harry plans a huge party and a night of adoration?

This does not need to be from Draco's point of view. It can be how Harry perceives Draco or what ever...as long as Draco's feelings about turning 29 are taken into account. It does, of course, need to have the boys as a couple or working on it.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or leave a comment.

And as always....art for a challenge is always accepted.

Oh and did I mention there could be surprises involved???

This challenge is for one week only and ends on June 6th

Okay folks, here I am, my first 'mod-type' post. I'll try not to screw up!

sassy_cissa has found us some wonderful quotes for this challenge. They are as follows:

1) We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

2) Did you ever fall for someone you know you shouldn't?
Try hard to fight your feelings, but you just couldn't?

3) I can't make you love me,want me,or understand me..All I can do Is hope that someday you will.

4) Love is giving someone the power to destroy you...but trusting them not to.

Aren't they great? They've certainly got my h/d muse chomping at the bit. Should be fun, huh?
This challenge lasts until 5/30. How many tickle your fancy? One, two, all of them?

Okay, on your marks, get set, GOOOO! And have fun!

Here I am with Challenge #105.

You have your choice of three photos.
