Fan Fiction / Writing Challenges

How does it work?

Each time we will give you something you have to write a story about; a genre, a picture, a music video... You send your stories to either Lynn (sweet_zelda) or Jennifer (follow the sun). After the deadline, we will post the stories here and the voting begins. Everyone who would like to vote sends us a PM with the following information:

Quote:
1st place favorite
2nd place favorite
3rd place favorite
additional info (e.g. why did you choose those stories?)
Voting time will always be a week or two depending on how many stories there are and how long they are. We will then announce the winners.

special Guidelines write a story using the REO Speedwagon song: Can't Fight This Feeling



I cant fight this feeling any longer
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when were together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find

And even as I wander Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore.
