Sexy is as sexy does. And there's a lot of doing in that story. Not to mention:

UST is soooooo sexy.  |

With Thanksgiving holiday coming up in the 'states, is anybody up for a harvest season challenge? I can't think of one just right now. Ideas? Interest?
Fic including some reference to turkey?
Fic featuring lavish foodstuffs, family squabbles, cold-weather sports?
FIc showing colonial Numenoeans meeting coastal natives in the second age? |

"Winter Wonderland"
Write a fic that centers on the Winter season. Possible angles:
-- What do hobbits do when they're snowed in? What about elves? Gondorians (how often does it snow in Minas Tirith, anyway)?
-- Winter activities (would elves go sledding?)
-- Midwinter celebrations? Feasts?
Here are the Challenge Restrictions:
1. Fic can be no more than 1000 words. (If you post what turns out to be the first chapter of a longer story because the plotbunnies wouldn't leave you alone, that's okay. The first chapter, in such a case, would be fewer than 1000 words.)
2. Following terms must appear in the fic: wax, splash, red feathers, fume, and cinnamon
3. Bonus for stories that focus on underused or secondary characters (Celeborn, Gollum, Finduilas, Radagast, etc.)
**Participants in this challenge will get something nice.**
Winter Wonderland challenge entries are due on the Winter Solstice (which, by my calendar, is December 22).
Peace. |

As regards the Stuck in ME Challenge; A shining example is up at "Son of Gondor," the site for fiction by Rachel (Shadow975). I have e-mailed her to request she enter it in the challenge here but haven't had a reply. I also see she hasn't logged into this site in quite a while. So here's the link:
http://overit.net/sonofgondor/wake-up.html
You should all go read and enjoy! And leave her feedback!

I've already started mine! But I'm having difficulty with the title. Anyone want to help me out?

(P.S. I think this is the first time I've posted on any of these forums. I feel so lazy!) |

How about "The Fellowship of the Scarf", "The Two Mittens" or "Return of the Woolly Hat"?

Thanks for the title suggestions , but I did manage to come up with one by myself (like, several hours after I posted my message) - "Snowfall and a War of Sorts".
So, where do we post these challenge fics? Just in the normal place? Or is there somewhere special? (I hate being new at something!)
Oh, and mine is a little over the word limit. That won't be too much of a problem, will it?

You post in the normal place (once you have registered for the challenge in the challenge section).
Word limit - I'll need to leave that to the challenge admins!

Feel free to list any deviations from the challenge parameters in a short AN. There will be no punishment. This time.  |

Excellent. Thank you for letting me know. I shall do so.
And, though I hate to sound incredibly stupid again, but how to I register for a challenge? I promise this will be my last question!

On the front page, go to the challenges section via a the box near the bottom.
Click on "register for this challenge". Then just post your story where you normally want to post it (the right archive category etc) and select the challenge on that screen.
Don't worry about posting if you're still stuck. We'll get the challenge entered!

Yeah...um...writer's block. Very frustrating.
 Anyone got any  for me? Some advice on how to get past writers block in general?
Or just ignore the crazy person. (aka Leila, as in ME)
