Fourth Harlequin Kradam Fest: Prompt Submission Post

[spikedluv]

Wow! I can’t believe this is already our fourth round! Comment here with your prompts for our fourth Harlequin Kradam Fest. *g*

We will accept prompts through January 4th.

All of the prompts will be collated into a list and posted here at harlequinkradam on January 5th for claiming. Prompts will be available for claiming (and you may post your fanfic or fanart submissions) from January 5th through March 31st.

You may submit:

~general prompts or more specific scenarios;

For example:

General Prompt: marriage of convenience

Specific Scenario: Kris Allen is the son of a wealthy businessman who must marry by his 25th birthday or lose the inheritance he plans to use to fund his own charity. He sees Adam Lambert, a struggling musician, perform one night and is smitten; Kris makes Adam an offer he can’t refuse.

~blurbs off the back of Harlequin romance novels, or blurbs from the back of DVD cases, or scenarios you’ve made up yourself, or mix ‘em up; and

~prompts from the last round (just c&p them into a comment here), whether they were claimed and filled or not.

The only requirements are that the prompt be Kris/Adam and be of a Harlequin nature (which we will interpret broadly). Harlequin is a type of romance that includes everything from traditional to historical, intrigue to supernatural. If you’re not sure what we mean by the term ‘Harlequin’, check out the eHarlequin writing guidelines.

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.

Please note: If you plan to post a fic this round that you started for a previous round, please make sure that the prompt you claimed is re-submitted for this round so that you can re-claim it.

Here are several more prompts to get us started:

~Kris Allen signs up for Theater 101 because it’s the only open course that fits his schedule. It’s not long before the professor learns what Kris has always known: he sucks at acting. Kris is handed over to the not so tender mercies of TA, Adam Lambert, who teaches Kris about acting, and a whole lot more.

~Single dad Kris Allen finally bows to the inevitable and hires a nanny to help him take care of his daughter/son. Picturing the staid nanny types who suck all the fun out of life, he tells the service that he wants someone who is imaginative and artistic. When Adam Lambert first appears on his doorstep, Kris isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job, but Adam soon convinces Kris otherwise.

~When photographs of Kris Allen kissing another man are posted on-line he refuses to deny that he is gay. His record company claims breach of contract, but they give Kris a choice: either he will be banned from performing publicly for the remainder of his contract and sued for damages, or he can agree to allow them to sell his contract to Adam Lambert, a man who has made no secret of his desire for Kris.

Now show us what you've got! *g*

Kris and Adam are born and grow up in the same town and time frame, (of your choosing) and in this particular hamlet it's common for mothers to get together and form a marrying pact when their children are still newborns (this is some kind of supernatural-y, witch-y, magic-y thing) Well Katy's mom and Kim decided that Kris and Katy should be married(hold on, I'm getting there, gimmie a sec, LOL). Well they make the pact and seal it it's supposed to guarantee that the two children involved will most certainly fall in love. The problem is that every time their mothers set up a date for them, Adam somehow ends up (unbeknownst to him) intervening by being in the middle of some accident/disturbance drawing Kris's attention (and Kris the white knight he is, always comes to Adam's rescue) while Kris is on his way to his date and he never makes it, this happens several times and by the Kris meets Katy, he's already in love with Adam because of course they became friends in the midst of all of this.

Got it, thank you!

(I edited it just a little bit to make it a tad less rambly. Hope that's okay.)

Giiiirl, if you could just come behind me and edit my life, that would be AWESOME. LOL.

I would if I thought I'd be any good at it! Prompts are my limit, I'm afraid. *g*
