Nuke Anon Challenge #9

Hi guys, thanks for your patience as we tally through the many votes for challenge #8! We promise to post the results for you tomorrow. So please check back. All comments should be already un-screened though and you can track comments for your fics by clicking on the "track this" link. Let us know if you need assistance!

In the meantime, we'd like to get challenge #9 started. Thanks to your input in this poll, we are hosting our first member-prompted ficlet challenge!

What does this mean? We want you to write, in 3 weeks' time (i.e. rest of February), 100 to 500 words of Luke/Noah or Van/Jake using one or more of the member prompts from the list.

You may choose any combination of prompts, interpreted however you like. However, this time around, we ask that you note in your submission which prompt(s) you're using as the prompts list is considerably longer than our usual 4.

As always, we welcome all writers, new or not so new, to participate! ♥

Prompts: member prompts for challenge #9 )
Pairings: Luke/Noah and/or Van/Jake
Minimum words: 100
Maximum words: 500 (Note: to be consistent, we ask that you check your word count here: http://www.wordcounttool.com/ or in MS Word. Whichever count is lower will work.)
Due Date: your midnight Thursday March 1, 2012. (i.e. 12 a.m. March 2, 2012)
How to post: Post your story (non-anonymously) in one or more comments as a reply to this post. It will be screened so that only Jen and I will see it.

Have fun, remain anonymous and let us know if you have any questions on the challenge FAQ post!
