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 has realized that he made a mistake when he left his music career behind. Now he’s mounting a comeback, and opening for Adam Lambert during his summer concert tour would be a coup, but there’s a catch: Adam wants Kris as more than his opening act.

~Kris Allen was blissfully in love and looking forward to his happily ever after . . . until he found out that it was all a lie. Now, years later, Adam Lambert has come looking for Kris, and he’ll use whatever means necessary (blackmail, bribery, other method of author’s choice) to get Kris back. Is Kris doomed to a loveless marriage, or will he be able to forgive Adam and forge the future he’d once dreamt of?

~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. Will either come away intact? More importantly, by the time Adam's done with him, will Kris care?

~Adam Lambert’s days of tabloid notoriety are behind him if he wants to keep his record contract. To complete his newly reformed image, his management wants him to settle down and get married. Adam refuses to even consider the idea until he meets his prospective husband, Kris Allen.

~When Adam Lambert left college early to hone his craft ‘on the job’, the classroom wasn’t the only thing he left behind. Over the years Kris Allen tried to forget the young man who’d stolen his heart and then left him without a word, but he’s never quite managed.

Years later, when Adam hasn’t yet made it big, and Kris is on the verge of giving up his dream of playing music and going back to school, they both try out for American Idol. Sparks fly when they are finally reunited during Hollywood Week, but Kris is afraid that Adam will break his heart once more. Can Adam convince Kris that he’ll never leave him again?
