Jane on the Beach Summer Challenge

[ladysusan]

This is posted with totally no ulterior motive at all, merely to provide the JAFF readers with some light summer reading. The challenge is the following:

* Write a JA-related fic in 10 parts (or 10 short stories). Of course we won't object if there are more stories (or story parts). ;)

* Your story should be set by (or on) the sea.

* Your main characters should be Jane Austen's characters, or Jane Austen herself.

* Your stories should be posted in the months June, July and August 2011.

* This is supposed to be light reading, so there should be no more angst than absolutely necessary (maybe a little to keep things interesting). A touch of comedy will be greatly appreciated.

* Once you post your stories, mark them with "Jane on the Beach - "Story Title"" in the subject line.

Any takers?

Just pleading my own cause here, of course - but why the minimum length? Perhaps we'd get more takers if there was no minimum length suggested?

I just thought it would be nice to get longer stories. But I can still edit it out - if somebody wants to write a one-shot that'll be OK by me. :)

Dang you and your stupid challenge!!

After chanting fervently to myself, 'I won't participate, I won't participate, I won't participate, I don't have time' I had a plot-bunny come to me. Rats!

And it's a P&P-one too (not again!) - at least partially. Maybe.

Must. Not. Think. It.

There's plenty of time after exams. :)

Ah, I also got to write a thesis sometime. And I'm hoping I'll have the time to go holidaying with my family the first two weeks in August.

So that eats into my time too!!

Isn't it ironic that the very reason you suggested this contest now wants to participate? *awkward grin*

LOL! Thought the same! But she want to write a modern comedy, you know. ;)

[lizzardgirl.livejournal.com]

What, you mean Guardian *isn't* a comedy? :P

Probably not intended to be one at any rate. ;)
