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 Allen and Adam Lambert were once the best of friends, brought together by a common experience. Kris even thought he was in love with Adam, but time and distance have separated them. It’s been several years since Kris has even seen Adam, until someone starts killing the American Idol winners.

Adam freaks out and kidnaps Kris because he doesn’t believe that Kris will take the proper precautions on his own. Kris can call no one for help, mainly because Adam left Kris’ phone at his house so no one could trace him, but also because his family was complicit in said kidnapping.

Kris is determined to remain irritated with Adam for kidnapping him, but being with Adam 24/7 reminds Kris how much he likes Adam and enjoys hanging out with him. And just why he fell in love with him in the first place. Kris finds himself less concerned with the madman killing Idols, and more worried that he won’t be able to hide his growing feelings from Adam.

~Kris Allen’s first love was music, but when he was drafted by [baseball franchise of your choice] right out of high school, he figured it was too good an opportunity to pass up, so he packed his guitar, along with his favorite glove and bat, and headed to [wherever their triple A team plays].

Kris is doing pretty well. Even though he’s a bit homesick, he gets along with most of the guys on the team, and he’s even heard rumors that he might be sent up to the majors if they need a back up [catcher], just to give him some experience at that level. He misses playing with his dad, and his friends, but he’s got his guitar and his roommate doesn’t care if he plays it in their room, so Kris figures he’s doing alright.

Until he walks into a club he’d never been in before and meets Adam Lambert. Adam has a voice like an angel (or the devil, Kris thinks, because it makes him want to do very naughty things to the other man), and he’s gorgeous to boot. Just when Kris believes he’s chosen the path his life is going to take, Adam comes along and makes him rethink that.
