So should we ask Viv if we could turn this into a challenge? Are you seriously interested on this?

I know I am !

I knew there was a reason I shouldn't post before my first cup of coffee.... Well, there it is, my sordid past! A challenge, eh? I might bite....

[Viv]

-----------------------------------------
"But it's my first time!" Challenge
-----------------------------------------
Version 1:
Describe the first time a major character experienced something character defining, e.g. the first time Gandalf came to ME as a Wizard, the first time Faramir realized he was second best (to Denethor), first time Boromir slew an orc, first time Aragorn left Rivendell on his own, first time Elrond beheld Rivendell etc.

Version2:
In the First Time forum thread, writers expressed some interest in stories that focus on the first sexual experience of a *male* character. So, this challenge may also be used as a vehicle for exploring that notion. (Many thanks to Thuriniel for raising the topic.)

Note that there is no current deadline.

Note about the OSA challenge, from the But It's My First Time Challenge thread in the bunny nursery (please direct all challenge-related comments to that thread; I'm just copying the explanation and apology here for reference):

There was some confusion and bad handling (on my part) of this challenge. I think it's important to explain:

Nancy had suggested the original "But it's my first time" challenge a while back. I didn't notice it because I'm a lazy challenge admin. *blush*

When that conversation on the First Time thread got going, I waited for someone to put the actual wording together, but when no one did for a few days, I thought I'd go in and do it myself, giving credit to the thread.

To my surprise, I saw Nancy's challenge already there, suggested back in July! The two ideas were too close to warrant separate challenges, but I assumed no one would be offended if I rolled them into one.

I assumed wrongly. I'm so sorry.

Anyone who was part of the First Time challenge thread and wants credit for coming up with this idea (which you guys did, of course), please PM me or reply right here.

If there's anything else I can do to make this right (was I wrong... would people write for two similar challenges? should I separate them out? do we need a new challenge co-admin who pays better attention?) please let me know.

While I sitting around getting my nails done today another fanfic which features a male deflowering popped into my mind - Playing Field by dragonlady7. It's posted here at OSA and features a worldly Lothiriel educating a yummy, innocent Eomer

Living in a world without sex education books, films, or classes it would fall to the family to 'educate' the child. But not every perent did it. So what if the child, say a male, did not show any sexual interest before the wedding night the couple would be confronted with some problems.
The male, normaly being in control of everything, would have to surrender to the female who *might* be educated and with whom he is supposed to spend the rest of his life. Being the inferior, he might feel a bit uncomfortable. And it might give a nice twist.

Or what about that: The wedding night
Arwen: Please stop the pacing and tell me what is on your mind.
Aragorn: (Sighs and comes to stand beside her) I am trying to remember. It was a very long time ago, after all.
Arwen: What long-ago event could be of importance right now?
Aragorn: When I was a young boy Elrohir told me where babies came from. After his explainations I never wanted to hear a word about it any more. *shudders at the memory*
Arwen: *Slaps her forehead and starts to giggle helplessly*
