Ok, I'm adding this challenge as a second chapter to "Lost Love," even though it has nothing to do with said story. Now, I keep hearing how much everybody loves Gabe, and how you've *considered* writing a fic about him, but the truth is very few people do! I love reading Gabriel ficcies even more than writing them! So I'm posting this challenge(s) to get your creative juices flowing.

Challenge #1: the serious fic

Basically, this is a fic centering on Gabe and Sara, w/ whoever else you want as the other main characters. It has to include:

1) a creative murder (e.g. someone being gutted like a fish, or their head cut off and sewn on backwards; none of that boring shot to the chest or hit on the back of the head)

2) Gabe has a secret; Sara finds out

3) Gabe hurt/ Sara comfort (b/c of the secret or something else? I don't know.)

4) the Witchblade doesn't activate (!!!), and someone (not Sara) gets hurt

5) the murderer is someone you would never suspect (can't be Gabe or Sara)

Well, I was going to put more, but then it would be overrun by my obsession w/ Gabriel, so I leave the rest to you. Could be a Gabe/Pez, could not, who knows?

Challenge #2: the sillyfic

This is for anyone with a bit of spare time and no ideas what to write. Has to have:

1) Sara, Gabe, and a prodigious amont of alcohol

2) a pink flamingo lawn ornament

3) karaoke caught on tape

4) the song "Three Blind Mice"

5) a Backstreet Boys CD or a Dead Puppies CD

6) The Who

7) disco

8) a bet

9) someone (extra points if it's Danny or Jake) assuming Sara and Gabe slept together (when they didn't)

10) somebody's left sock is missing

Happy writing!
