First Harlequin Kradam Fest: Prompt Submission Post

[spikedluv]

Comment here with your prompts for our first Harlequin Kradam Fest.

We will accept prompts through July 5th.

All of the prompts will be collated into a list and posted here at harlequinkradam on July 6th for claiming. Prompts will be available for claiming (and you may post your fanfic or fanart submissions) from July 6th through Sept 14th.

You may submit general prompts or more specific scenarios. You may submit blurbs off the back of Harlequin romance novels, or scenarios you’ve made up yourself, or mix ‘em up.

For example:

General Prompt: marriage of convenience

Specific Scenario: Kris is the son of a wealthy businessman who must marry by his 25th birthday or lose the inheritance he plans to use to make the world a better place; he sees Adam perform one night and is smitten; Kris makes Adam an offer he can’t refuse.

The only requirements are that the prompt be Kris/Adam and be of a Harlequin nature (which we will interpret broadly).

For more information about the Fest please read the rules on the community profile. If your question isn’t answered there you may ask us here at the Q&A post.

---

Here are several prompts to get us started:

Adam Lambert has been invited to his ex’s wedding. Because he refuses to let the cheating bastard think he cares, Adam replies as plus one. The only problem is that he isn’t currently seeing anyone, and there’s no way he’s showing up without a date. Kris Allen appears to be the answer to Adam’s problem, except when the time comes for their fake relationship to end, will Adam be able to let him go?

~*~

Adam Lambert and Kris Allen had been in love once, but that was years ago. When they meet up again Kris is determined to maintain a distance between them; Adam is equally determined to win Kris back.

~*~

Unable to make it on his music alone, Kris Allen takes a job as a personal assistant to the flamboyant, charismatic and infuriating glamrocker Adam Lambert. Working for Adam becomes a challenge in more ways than one when Kris finds himself attracted to the other man.

~*~

Kris Allen agrees to participate in a charity bachelor auction because it’s for a good cause, but eyebrows are raised when the infamous Adam Lambert bids on him. When Adam wins the bidding, though, Kris is less concerned with his reputation and more with his virtue.

Now submit yours! *g*

LOL! Check out a more in-depth summary I left for Moira below. That book is OUT OF CONTROL. Just writing up the prompt sent me into a fit of giggles.

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

omg these are all GOLD. Wow, fantastic. Ahhhh, the romance and drama omg!

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

;sladkjfdfsk@@ AWESOME

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

[helijt.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's just ridiculous.

Cats have no masters.

Want, want, WANT! Love them all

Kris has always dreamed of opening a [business of your choice], but he doesn't have the money and no one will loan him enough. Adam's eccentric great aunt left him [amount of money of your choice] in her will, with the stipulation that he must get married and be married for one year in order to inherit.

After a search, Adam's friends/family choose Kris. The guys marry and live together for a year. Adam's cousin believes the marriage is a fraud, so hires a private detective to spy on them and dig up evidence it's a sham marriage. The guys have to act like they're married in public. This also means they have to share a bedroom.

Initially they dislike each other, due to the circumstances, and since they're opposites in many ways. But eventually their overwhelming attraction causes them to give in to their passion, close to the time their year together is over.

Will they realize their true feelings before divorce papers are signed? Will Adam's cousin unearth the sham in their marriage before the guys can inherit? Will Kris ever get to open his [ business of your choice]? Most of all, will they live happily ever after? XD

[maerhys.livejournal.com]

It is beyond ridic. And, of course, the cat only ~likes the hero and heroine.

[maerhys.livejournal.com]

Hee! They are so ridic - the blurbs aren't even half as bad as the actual text. Harlequin: stealing brain cells one novella at a time.

All yanked from eharlequin.com:

1. Adam Lambert — star reporter and celebrated literary genius — is a snake. How else to explain the way he turns Kris Allen's hero worship into loathing with a single conversation? So what if he's got a lot to learn about journalism? Aren't they coworkers now? On the same team? Adam can take his attitude and... Then during a job-related road trip, their relationship goes from antagonistic to hedonistic in no time flat. And suddenly Kris can't think of anything more delicious than having a secret fling with Adam. But with all this intensity, can he really keep it no-strings-attached?

2. Everybody knows there's no love lost between paranormal investigators Adam Lambert and Kris Allen. They can't even stand being in the same room together.... Well, unless it's an enchanted bedroom. And they're trapped there, at midnight. And the sexual tension suddenly becomes too powerful to resist... Then that bedroom gets really hot, really fast! But come morning, they still can't keep their hands off each other. Are they cursed forever? If so, neither one's complaining.

3. From the safety of his living room, Kris Allen has been enjoying the sensual maneuvers of the man he's dubbed Sir Sex-a-Lot. (Note: If you're filling this prompt, feel free to change that.) Watching his neighbor has fueled more than one of Kris' steamy fantasies, which makes the guy the perfect candidate to end his bout of celibacy. He's not looking for commitment - he just wants some of what his neighbor freely gives. Too bad seducing Adam Lambert is more complicated than he thought. Oh, sure, the between-the-sheets-and the on-the-desk and the against-the-wall-action is everything he wants. But their physical closeness seems to have encouraged Adam to get close emotionally. Can Kris give up being the next man in his window to be the only man in his life?

SATAN IS THE CAT, OF COURSE.

That plot sounds just...confusing. Maybe if Hero and Heroine had previously dated and broken up, then years later she's dumped by her fiance and Hero comes back to pick up the pieces, that would make more sense? Because Hero has obviously never gotten over her, and Heroine obviously was only getting married to get over Hero, but they're both too proud to admit it so they go through this whole game with each other.

[moirariordan.livejournal.com]

CHANGE SIR SEX-A-LOT? ARE YOU CRAZY? LMAO FOREVER.

Also, paranormal investigators? TOTAL win. :DD

[helijt.livejournal.com]

They're totally going to get possessed by the Ghost of Sexings Past.

It's not that I have anything against Sir Sex-a-Lot, but isn't it kind of difficult to type while laughing hysterically?

I hope you get some ~inspiration to write some of these! lol

After ten years away, rock god Adam Lambert returns to the town he left. The town he left to get away from Kris Allen.

He's shocked to meet Kris' nine year old son, who has blue eyes that are far too familiar. Adam wants to get close, but Kris rebuffs him at every turn. Can he win over his old love, and find the family he's been missing for so long?

***

Kris Allen isn't the type for one night stands, but he can't resist the mysterious stranger at the bar who is just his type: tall, dark and handsome.

Their one night of passion is unforgettable; as unforgettable as the way Adam left without a word before morning.

But what's Kris to do when Adam is the new hired gun brought into downsize his department?


***

Ex-marine Kris Allen has seen too much: too much war, too much violence, too much death. Alpha squad feels like redemption: a group of men sworn to protect the innocent.

But when Allen is assigned to protect Adam Lambert, there's nothing innocent about his feelings. Adam makes his blood hot like nothing since the Iraqi sun, and when someone is set on hurting Adam, Kris can't help but put everything on the line. The only question is will it be enough?


***

Kris Allen wakes up in a hospital bed to the anxious face of his mother and a man he has never met. Adam assures him they are in love, but Kris has no memory of him.

Adam Lambert has loved Kris Allen since the day they met. But can he convince the man he loves that they were meant to be together, despite the odds?

***

Kris Allen makes special ops with something to prove. His squad leader, Adam Lambert, has no time for a recruit who is smaller, quieter and has never seen any action.

But Kris has more than his military skills to prove, because he remembers the one hot night he and the colonel spent after meeting at a civvie bar.

With lives at risk, will Adam and Kris be able to put their past behind them, and find the future that's waiting for them together?

Re: I literally cannot stop giggling.

[amproof.livejournal.com]

I just claimed chef!Kris/secluded!Prince!Adam and I was wondering if you could tell me the book the summary is based on, assuming it is based on a book?

Thanks! :)

[cathalin.livejournal.com]

Hee, I stole this from my own plot for a fic I'm cowriting in another fandom. I'd love to see sham marriage omg. There's so much you can do with it!

<333

[elly427.livejournal.com]
