Top 10 Challenges
Summary:

This challenge is revamped from the annual Popslash Awesome August challenge on Livejournal. I've brought it here to NF so that Het writers can get in on the fun! 

The purpose of the challenge is to encourage writing, first of all. Second of all, to produce 30 days of *NEW* fiction!  

The Rules:

>The story can be any length, any genre, about any member, or the whole group.

>No limits except it must be COMPLETE. A shortie, a longie, a visual, a ficlet...

>It must be fiction and it must be *NSYNCified. Can you involve other bands, actors, actresses, etc? YES. The main character must be an *NSYNCER. 

This challenge is now FULL! OMG! How awesome are you guys?!

 *Awesome August is now complete and was a raging success! Thanks to all of our authors and readers!

Summary:

Right about NOW it's about that time! Awesome August is back, and it's bad. The rules are just as you remember them, nice and simple: 

* Stories must star an *NSYNCer as the main character.

* Any Genre is fine. Crossovers are a-okay.

* Stories must be COMPLETE by the end of your featured day.

* There is no length limit, but we ask that stories be at least 1,000 words. 

* You MUST post your story on your given day. If you will be unable to do so, PLEASE LET US KNOW so that we can fill your slot!

* Signups are open until the month fills up. At that point we may double up on some days, but not until the month is full.

* REMINDER/HINT: JC's Birthday is AUGUST 8th. Signups for that day are UNLIMITED. Anyone who wants to write a story featuring JC is welcome!

 Joining this challenge is easy as 1,2,3.   

1. Pick a day, any day in the month of August. Challengers are limited to TWO days for this challenge until we get closer to August 1 and need to fill up days.

2. Send your date of choice to us via email (awesomeaugust@nsync-fiction.com) or via twitter ( @nsync-fiction).

3. After the dates begin to populate, PLEASE VERIFY THAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED YOU AND THAT YOU ARE SCHEDULED TO POST ON THE CORRECT DATE.  Help us help YOU.

Once you've signed up, stir up those ideas and get to writing!

Summary:

drabble is an extremely short work of fiction...the purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space. 

I'm proposing an on-going drabble challenge. Short, SHORT stories, 100 to 1000 words, any genre, featuring any member that is an *NSYNCer. Crossovers okay, slash okay, AU A-OKAY. Anything goes, so long as the story is shorter than 1000 words and stars an *NSYNCer in a major role.

The purpose of this challenge is just to encourage writing on a regular basis, to expand our minds past the 86 chapter story, to revisit visuals and short snippets of work. We get better by writing and writing and writing (and reading, but that's beside the point. ;)

Pick a theme, a prompt, a lyric, a photo, and give your mind over to the pulses of fiction- the snapshot of a scene. 

And have FUN!

No I have not turned Anti-Justin! lol! But I'm a slut and sometimes I enjoying having secret rendezvous with the other sparkly boys. Who can blame me? :)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

To write a story (short or chapters) with a "SYNC" member as the lead.

Rules:
1. JC, Chris, Joey, or Lance as the lead ... duh.
2. its has to be posted after today's date, it cant be a story you've already started... cheater! lol!
3. Justin can be in the story, I'm not crazy! but as a minor character k? No big role or anything.
4. it can be as short or as long as you want... though honestly, chapter stories are my favs *wink wink*.


I'm putting out this challenge in hopes that some really talented Justin authors take it up. T
