Counting Down to Valentine’s Day!
Chuck’s been torturing Sam with a horrible array of bad AU endings he’s got in store for him and Dean. Are you ready to show God how much better writing a happy ending can be?!
Valentine’s Day - and the Meant to Be Challenge - is a month away, and we’re here to cheer you on! Do you need a beta? A sprinting partner? Or just a cheerleader? PM phoenix1966 orcasey679 on LiveJournal, or let us know in the comments on LiveJournal here- we’re here to help!
Let’s give the boys a Valentine month’s worth of happy endings that prove no matter what universe you drop them into, the boys are Meant to Be!

One Day Only!
Today anyone can grab one of the remaining prompts at the comm. So if you missed the last two claiming rounds or even missed the chance to sign up, today is an open day for any and all to join the fun.
If you’ve already grabbed one prompt, you can claim a second. If you have two and think you can pull off a third, today’s the day to go for it!
Come on over to the comm hereand stake a claim that’s Meant To Be!

We’ve received a few emails, comments and messages here and on Tumblr from folks who missed the claims deadline. So we have decided to give people one last shot at a happy ending and offer the fandom a Valentine as the show ends. Who are we to stand in the way of something that’s meant to be? We will offer a 24 hour claim day for anyoneinterested in participating in this round, even if you didn’t sign up for the challnege. That means any and all are welcome to put in a claim for one of the remaining prompts. For those that have already claimed the maximum of two prompts and you think you could handle a third (but please be very sure you can handle it), you are also welcome to grab another and, of course, those who claimed one prompt are also welcome to grab a second. Open claim day will startr on Sunday, October 20th at 9 am EST. Hereis a clock to help you count down the hours. Prompts can be found hereandhere(if they have only been claimed for one medium, they will be marked accordingly; those struck through have been claimed for both). Info on how to claim can be found here. Please familiarise yourself with it. Bring on that Happy Ending! You know it’s meant to be!

Q: “Does the story have to have a happy ending? Can it be ambiguous at least?”
A: “A happy ending is mandatory. That is the one hard and fast rule of the challenge.”
Q: “How close does my fic/art have to be to the prompt?”
A: “Consider the prompt a jumping-off point for you. You can make your work as close to the prompt as you want, or so tangential to it that it’s almost unrecognizable. Just bring us that Happily Ever After.”
Q: “I have a WIP that is really in line with one of the prompts Can I finish that?”
A: “You absolutely can as long as your WIP has not been posted anywhere publicly first. These submissions should be original/brand new for the viewer.”
Q: “I claimed a prompt from a previous round, but real life prevented me from finishing. Can I still participate this time around?”
A: “Absolutely. In fact, we here are so sure your work was meant to be, you can post that finished, unpublished piece in this round in addition to a any new prompt that you claim. If that previous piece was published anywhere prior to this round, please feel free to add it to the Ao3 MTB collection if you post there, but do not add it to the current challenge. We do want to keep the creations here brand new and shiny.”
Q: “Some of these prompts look interesting, but I’m not really a schmoopy kinda writer/artist. I guess I can’t enter.”
A: “You absolutely can! The only artistic requirement is that the piece have a happy ending. How you get there is up to you. Please look through the previous years’ masterlists for works by meus_venator, all_the_damned, dimpled_sammy and thursdaysisters as examples that are most definitely not schmoopy.”
Q: “Do I have to have a LiveJournal account to participate?”
A: “You don’t have to, but it is strongly recommended so that you can keep track of announcements and important dates. We will be cross-posting schedules to Tumblr, so there is another way to follow along. But LiveJournal is the home of this challenge. We also highly recommend that you join the comm, too, so that you get notifications when information is posted here and have the ability to post your masterlist during posting month.”
Q: “So if I don’t want/have an LJ account, how do I participate?”
A: “LiveJournal allows commenting made with OpenID accounts (more info here). Also, anonymous commenting will be turned on for the sign-ups/claims instruction posts so you can ask any questions you might have. We will be using forms for both sign-ups and prompt claims this time. When it comes time to post your completed work, we will have a format guide to use. Fill it out and email that along with links to your story/art and a mod will make the comm post for you.”
Q: “Can I claim a prompt for someone else?”
A: “Yes, you can submit a proxy claim for someone else. It must be a separate claim from your own if you are also participating, however, and you will need to fill in all the pertinent information on their behalf for the claim to be accepted.”
Q: “Do the stories/art have to be posted on LiveJournal?”
A: “No, they don’t. You do need to make a master post here at the comm first with links to where people can find your work. Also, if you post to Ao3, we would appreciate it if you tagged your work as part of the Meant To Be collectionthere.”
Q: “Hey, that cool artist/writer_____ grabbed the same prompt as I did. Does that mean we get to collaborate together?”
A: “No, it doesn’t. Artists and writers that happen to claim the same prompt are welcome to reach out to one another and respectfully ask to collaborate, but no one is expected or required to do so. Please understand that the other creator may already have a firm vision of what they’d like to do and it doesn’t line up with yours (they want to do a different pairing, etc.). However, you and another person can definitely plan on collaborating and try to claim the same prompt for fic and art. Only one of you needs to submit a claim in that case and there will be a line on the forms to add your partner’s name .”
Q: “My partner and I were collaborating and real life prevented them from finishing, but I did. Does that mean I can’t post my part?”
A: “While it’s always sad when real life tries to thwart things that are meant to be, we get it. Please post your completed creation and let your partner know there will be other chances for them to share their HEA. Keep cheering them on for all of us, because some HEAs just won’t stick to a schedule. And you are always encouraged to add art to your fic, or fic to your art after the fact.”
Q: “Are we going to have check-ins where we need to send in drafts and stuff?”
A: “No, not for this challenge. We will be running polls and posting periodically on the comm/Tumblr to remind you about deadlines (and to cheer you on), ask you how you’re doing and help keep you on track.”
Q: “Does my stuff have to be beta’d?”
A: “While I think we all agree a second set of eyes can be very helpful, it’s not a requirement for this challenge After claims go up, we will make a request from the community here of people who would be willing to volunteer as needed.”
Q: “I thought I’d have enough time to finish, but the clock is ticking and I’m not quite done. Will there be an Amnesty Day like in previous years?”
A: “You’ll have about 4 months to get this done, so we’re really hoping everyone finishes on time. That being said, we know stuff happens. There have been Amnesty Days in the past and there will probably be one for this challenge, too. But please don’t rely on that.”
If something else you need to know isn’t answered above, feel free send an Ask.

As a black woman, I don’t often find brilliant works of fiction with black protagonists. They are especially rare in the romance novel genre. But every once in a while, I’ll find an amazing work that takes my breath away. Queen Move is one of those books. I love Kennedy Ryan because her characters are amazing and her romances are epic. Queen Move was brilliant and I enjoyed EVERY SECOND of reading it!! Please check this one out!!
Eh querido dibujarlos desde que tengo memoria y uuuuufffff admito que estan fabulosos
