A Reminder:

All past challenges are still open for submissions. You can always go back and add stories to the older challenges at any time, just because a new round begins does not mean the old challenges are closed or forgotten. Just leave us a little note here on the “current challenge” comment section so that we will know to go back there to check them out.

* * * * * *

The Rules & Stipulations:

You do not have to use the words in the sets in any certain order as long as they are all used, though it may be more of a challenge to try to keep them in the order that they appear. As always, there are no limits on the number of entries you may submit. Feel free to use the same prompt or prompts over and over if you wish. You may also use more than one prompt (prompt set) in your submissions; You may want to make it a personal challenge to use as many as you can.

The piece you write can be canon or non-canon, of any genre, of any length, and be of any rating. It can be written in any POV and be of any tense. Your entry may contain other characters as long as Aaron Hotchner & Dr. Spencer Reid are the two main characters - they do not have to paired as a romantic couple. Basically anything goes as long as it revolves around Hotch & Reid.

  3. A question from Vanessa S. Quest:

    Song fic challenge...? How do you mean that to play out, via lyrics or via our interpretation of the songs or anything that vaguely fits...?

    My Answer:

    It's totally up to the writer as to how they choose to use the song prompts. I have no expectations or regulations on this. It can be an over all feel of the song or your own interpretation of what it means. You may use the lyrics or just the song title somewhere in the story. It's all up to you. Honestly as long as you incorporate the song in there somehow I'll be happy. It's all about being creative, having fun, and sharing the results.
