ADMIN: Harlequin Challenge Extended

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Due to popular demand--and the fact that these challenge entries have tended to be plot heavy!--we are extending the Harlequin Challenge for an additional week. Stories will now be due on Saturday, September 17th at midnight eastern.

Also, a couple of clarifications: cracked Harlequin artwork? Totally acceptable as a challenge response: please post it! We want it! Is your story or artwork too long, big, or oddly formatted to be posted to LJ? Post a link here: we get exclusive access to that link while the challenge is on, and then you can post to your own LJ or sga_noticeboard afterwards. (We've given a couple of people amnesty on this for the sake of collecting all the responses.)

And for those of you who hate this challenge--and there are a few of you out there--we're sorry, bear with us! It'll all be over soon and we'll return you to your more normally cracked-out sga_flashfic flashfiction.

Over and out--

Title: Under Unnamed Stars
Author: _ceci15_
Rating: PG 13
Summary: The loss of Lieutenant Ford has unexpected repercussions when someone comes looking for him. Not the whole story--just a slightly expanded back cover write up and the little excerpt they always put under the front cover. Many thanks to Maryellen who made it so much better.

Art: "A Scandalous Affair" by Crysothemis (for the Harlequin Challenge)

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

So I took leave of my senses and went and manipped an illustration for teaphile's recent flashfic, On A Clear Day (You Can See Frustration).

Two warnings: first, if you haven't read the story yet, do that before you click on the cut tag, because the illo contains story spoilers, and really, you don't want this one spoiled. Second, this is a crack manip. Clicking on this link means you take full responsibility for any and all damage to your psyche. ::g::

( A Scandalous Affair, slash (well, sort of), rated G (which just goes to show that MPAA ratings are *useless*), and, seriously, people, *crack* )

Master of the Manor, by _inbetween_

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

Harlequin Challenge: Master of the Manor
(spoilery alternative titles and glossary below)*

Author: _inbetween_
Length: ~ 6700 words
Rating: NC-17
Notes: The usual thanks to spela, who inserted me between The Hives and is to be blamed for ze gramer, for making me re-insert (sorry) something "small" and any mistakes in the smutty parts (as she found none).
This challenge was/is like walking a tightrope; I was not able to stick to did not want to write badfic or schmoop, so I tried tongue-in-cheek gothic with some true romance, only to discover: deadpan ≠ bedpan.

( Includes a decrepit mansion, judicious amounts of fainting, frocks, mysterious servants, a gratuitous stable-boy, bad puns, off-stage swashbuckling, hidden passions, and a little nudity having more of an effect on innocent virgins than full-frontal would have in non-AUs. )
