June Challenge

This month, I am getting so many wonderful new suggestions, I have decided to post two challenges at once. You may respond to either or both (or neither, of course). As usual there is no limit on length or deadline for posting. First Challenge—Personal Ad This challenge is inspired by a converstion with the Toronto Terrors. You guys knew it was coming and didn't do anything to stop me, so if people complain, it is all your fault.

The challenge is to write a story in which one or both of the boys write a personal ad (you know—SWF looking for marriage minded man, doesn't mind children and cauliflower fetishes, for possible romance, etc etc) to which the other responds. This is sooo setting you up for a First Time story, but if you can escape that trap somehow, it's fine with me. (I will say First Times are a favorite of mine though).

The Second Challenge—1001 Alexian Nights

This one is Dr Ruthless' brain child. We are hoping for a series of stories along the lines of Arabian Nights, can be AU, where the slaveboy, Alex, seeks to postpone his fate at the hands of his master, Fox, by telling him stories.

Responses can be sent to theband@mac.comif you are not a member of the list.
