Christmas fic swap!

As a nice way to kick things off around here, we're going to have a Christmas fic swap!

The Rules

If you're interested in signing up for the exchange, comment on this post by Friday, November 18. I will send out the assignments by Monday, November 21, and you will post your stories to the community on Saturday, December 24, or Sunday, December 25.

The minimum word count for fics is 500 words, but you're certainly welcome to write a longer piece.

Requests can be movie-based, book-based, or actor-based. Slash, het and gen are all fine, and real-person fics can be paired with any other celebrities not in Jarhead as long as there's a legit connection there. No random or obscure people, please. :)


Please include the following information when you sign up:

LiveJournal Name:

what does fic mean?
sorry if that's a dumb question...

[info]idiosyncratic

Fic is short for fiction. Basically, it's a short story.

Okay, I just need to clarify something before I send out the assigments.

By Jake/Hugh, do you mean Hugh Dancy? Or a different Hugh?
Also, would there be any possibility of you perhaps writing Jake/Peter as an option?

[info]hughjackmanmuse

November 26 2005, 05:04:37 UTC 6 years ago

Hugh Jackman is my perv. *g*

[info]hughjackmanmuse

November 26 2005, 05:07:16 UTC 6 years ago

I don't like peter... squicks me.

[info]idiosyncratic

November 26 2005, 05:55:13 UTC 6 years ago

Okay, here's the problem I have...

Hugh Jackman isn't in the movie. I could let Hugh Dancy slide because he's got a connection to Jake (through Anne Hathaway). But since this is a Jarhead fic swap, I can't really open it up for random actors who don't have any connection at all to the film or the actors in it. And no one who's signed up has listed the only pairing you say you're willing to write (or read). :(

Any chance that you could write any of the other guys from the film?

[info]hughjackmanmuse

November 26 2005, 06:29:41 UTC 6 years ago

Yes, I'll look through the movie site and ck out the other guys. :)~

I'll get back to you in a few.

*g* back... Jake/Laz Alonzo for both... only thing other than nice to perv I don't know anything much about Laz Alonzo.

Also, I may be able to adapt, improvise, and overcome (hee hee) a fic on Swoff/Escobar.

[info]hughjackmanmuse

November 26 2005, 16:12:30 UTC 6 years ago

Look at this man. *guh!* I might just spam you all with Swoff/Escobar fics....

Can you just picture their hands all over each other? *thud*
