Discovered In A Valentine

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

It's taken us three years to build up to being able to do this to the lads, but finally, at long last, the Challenge we know you've all secretly been waiting for...

Discovered in a Valentine!

It's pink! They're pretty! And on the 14th of February, they will be...

... well, what they will be is down to you of course - your challenge is to write our lads into a Valentine's Day story! The hard men of CI5, the blokes who think nothing of killing a dozen villains before breakfast if it's necessary for the safety and well-being of good old Joe Public, must somehow be combined with the pinkest, the fluffiest, most sugar-coated, chocolate-boxed, roses and lavendered day of the year...

Is it even possible?

*g*

There are prompts available for those who would like them, and whether you'd like a prompt or not it'd be fab (though never compulsory, cos we like last minute inspirations too!) if you'd comment below just to let us know that you fancy playing.

Posting any time from midnight in your country on the 14th February 2009, until midnight in someone else's country (good old Auntie Mabel, in Pago Pago... *g*) at the end of the day.

And a special request - please use a new Trailer for posting creations to discoveredinalj:
Title:
Author:
Warnings (only if absolutely necessary):
Disclaimer:
Notes:

Reminder: none of the Pros archives are currently archiving fic automatically. Archiving seems to be as follows:
ProsLib CD - Please send stories to proslib at gmail dot com
Automatic Hatstand - Please post your stories via your own Automatic Hatstand account
Circuit Archive - No information/update known

And final reminder - do please post the trailers at the end of your story and under the cut, so that no one is spoiled unnecessarily! That way people who want to see the endings can do so, those who don't want to know don't have to read even hints of what happens! Warnings are not compulsory, ratings make no sense to us so we don't use those either... *g*

And the really really final final reminder - if you're viewing this through your flist, please please come to the comm and see empty_mirrors' challenge banner and layout. It's... pink... *vbg*

Well it is all just for fun, so for the times when it's not fun - good to do other things. Ramble away. *g*

Bah! I'm just sick and feeling sorry for myself. Whine, sniffle, whine, cough, whine, blah, blah, blah...

I'm getting tired of me... Hit me with a prompt and I'll see if I can do something half-way sane with it. After all, who can resist that banner? *g*

Aww - everyone has days like that, hope you're feeling better soon!

How about:
"Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have."

Thank you.

As to the prompt, egads woman! NO, I'm not writing mpreg no matter how much you beg. Even I have some standards. *whistles*

Yes, I think we might all prefer you to take your imagination in another direction... *g*
