Hello! We've got some more information for you, and of course, more Challenges!

Here are some things we didn't think of at first:

RULES

-Stories can only be submitted for 1 Challenge.
-However, sequels thatcan stand alone can be submitted for a separate Challenge than the original story.
-Once you post an entry for a Challenge, you cannot change it at all. Even if you realize, the very next day, that you made some mistakeor it would be much better if you changed the dialogue, etc, we're sorry, its too late. Story is entered AS IS.
-However, if you e-mail us, entering the story, but haven't posted it yet, you can change it all you want. We won't even know.
-Remember that we said in the beginning that we can look the other way if you bend the rules of a Challenge just a bit. If you feel a Challenge is limiting you, and you're unsure how much you can change it, e-mail us and we'll let you know if what you're planning is allowed or not.
I think thats all the new stuff...

Oh, so two of these below Challenges are a bit different. One is an Inspiration Challenge...we've never seen one before, but other people may've done them. Its #30, we'll explain that later. The other is #26, and its not ours. Someone else came up with this Challenge. This is a reminder that anyone can come up with Challenges and so long as we like them, we will post them here to be entered in the competition. (Just know that if you create a Challenge, you cannot write for it).

CHALLENGES

CHALLENGE 26: you must write a story involving one or both of Mark and Roger, and a frog must be significantly involved in the plotline.-This Challenge was created by Sargent Snarky.

CHALLENGE 27: has to be Mark-centric (Cohen), and can include any other characters we'd prefer Roger to be heavily involved, but choose what you will. Basically, this is the back story: Mark likes to analyze life and himself. He keeps a notebook, in which he has written a description/analysis of himself as a person. Someone finds it and find that they disagree with it. You decide the rest and everything in between. Feel free to pick at this Challenge, if you want. Oh, and somewhere in the fic has to be Mark's self analysis or a summary of it. DOUBLE POINTS for creativity!

CHALLENGE 28: has to at least mention both Mark Cohen and Roger Davis in fic. Can be slash or friendship. Any other characters allowed. The Challenge for this is simple: create an AU that has never been done before, or at least you believe that it has never been done before. It can be a very slightly different universe or you can be totally mad or humorous with it. (just remember to keep the quality of writing up). TRIPLE POINTS for creativity! And above all, Have Fun!

CHALLENGE 29: has to have both Roger and Mark in it. Has to have this quote, used anyway you want but taken word for word, "Thats it! You've gone too fucking far this time!" TRIPLE POINTS for most creative use of line.

CHALLENGE 30: has to have both Roger Davis and Mark Cohen in it. Can be slash or friendship. We prefer slash, and it almost HAS to be slash but if you want to find a way to make it friendship, go ahead. This is the Inspiration Challenge. It is a choice. You can either write off the prompt: dance club. Or you can read Lillia's and my summary of a real life event and write your story off it, basically you have to draw your inspiration from the summary, in any way at all. You can take one or two words and write a whole fic off that, or you can take the whole theme and use it. Whatever inspires you. And there is a lot to choose from, as the "summary" is rather long. Fic has to be longer than 300 words OR shorter than 136 words. This was thought up by the fact that after the real life event was over, we were both thirsty for fics involving dance clubs and guy/guy dancing...but choose what you will. Here is our summary:

Di andLillia went to a bar/club called Uptown on Monday night. It was '80s night, so they were all decked out in jean skirts, leggings, lots of jewelry, big hairetc. While they were dancing they noticed that there were a lot of guys there, and most of the guys were rather friendly with each other. Okay, to put it bluntly, by the end of the night there was some rather hot guy/guy dry humping going on. The girls, of course, were loving this. Some guys really knew how to dance, and some guys were doing everything but making out. At one point, two guys pulled one to a wall, pinned him there, and lifted up his shirt. Then one guy got down on his knees and started licking his stomach while the other guy held them there. (Lillia nearly fainted at this point). As he went for his jeans, the guy against the wall got free and they all started laughing and dancing around with each other. There was also some mild stripping, and one drunken guy, to the delight of Di, fell backwards in the middle of his shirtless strip dance and landed right between her feet. Now Di and Lillia were smart, and they realized that most of the guys there were drunk and in college and were therefore probably just messing around with each other or doing it to delight their obvious girlfriends who pulled them from each other long enough to make out with them every so often. There were, however, two guys that were definitely gay and together, and were immedietely dubbed by both girls as "absolutely adorable". Unlike the guys who grinded and hugged and laughed, these two danced less wildly, with just each other for the most part, were not drunk, and during one particular song the girls were delighted to see that one was singing to the other while stroking his face lovingly. It was beyond cute and Di was lucky Lillia didn't melt into a puddle, as she had no bucket. Eventually, the girls went home, to the disapointment of some of the boys who had been just as happy to see two girls dancing together as they had been seeing boys dancing together.But watching the guysfor that longhad made themfeel like stalkers, and they were both sweaty and gross anyways. Oh, but the memories! The End.

Sorry that summary was so long, but it was such a good night! I mean, college boys dancing together, rather hotly in some instances? Please and thank you. And Lillia and I had a good time together as well, of course. Thank God neither of us thinks that looking is cheating. Although Lillia got a little pissy with the fact that when that guy fell between my legs I didn't move right away, "like I had anywhere to go, Lil, we were on a crowded dance floor!" "You do realize how slutty you just sounded, right?" "...shut up."

If we accidentally forgot to list your story in this, we are so sorry and please e-mail us immedietely so we can remedy it, and double check that your fic has been entered in our records. There are some fics that have been entered that are pending and so aren't on this list and some authors that are signed up for Challenges but haven't entered the title yet, so there are potentially more stories for these Challenges.

And as you can tell, there are some Challenges that have recieved no entries and every Challenge can always use more. So if you have any idea, any inspiration from a Challenge, go with it. We would LOVE more entries. (esp. for Challenges 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28 and 29, as these have had the least interest so far). And also remember that the deadline is December 25, 2006, so feel free to take your time on entries. So far, it feels to be a very good competition.

Also remember that if this is removed, all of this information is available in our profiles and updated regularly. Email us at monkeywoman27 (at) hotmail . com if you have any questions, concerns, Challenge ideas, and of course if you wish to enter.

Much Love and Happy Writing,
Di and Lillia
