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*

1) REGENCY: The young pickpocket, Kris Allen, gets more than what he bargains for with his next mark, the dashing Adam Lambert.



2) Left alone on the Allen family ranch, Kris believes in making the most of the life he was born to. So, according to his late father's wishes, he's ruthlessly buying all the surrounding land he can get his hands on.

Raven-haired Boston heir Adam Lambert wants to forge his own path—from socialite to independent rancher—and has settled on Texas for his fresh start. His new neighbor, Kris, doesn't like the competition one bit. But Adam's not going to let an infuriatingly sexy cowboy get in his way! (The Lone Rancher by Carol Finch)

Got 'em, thanks! *g*

I forgot to mention with 1) It's up to the author who Adam Lambert is. Some ideas can be Adam as a rakish lord aiming to seduce, or as a captain of the guard who then embarks on a cat and mouse game or wants to help Kris change his ways and take him under his wing (and into his bed), etc. etc.
