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*

~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.

~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.

~Vampire Prince Kristopher Allen must bond with his mate or forfeit succession to the throne. When Kris meets Adam Lambert he knows immediately that he’s found his mate, but there’s just one problem: Adam’s still human. Will Kris give up Adam, or the throne?

~Kris Allen is under a lot of stress – finishing his album and doing interviews and photo shoots and radio promos – and the more responsibilities that build up, the more control he tries to exert. Until the day Kris meets Adam Lambert, and the soft command of Adam’s voice takes the weight off of Kris’ shoulders for one blissful night. Kris thinks one night isn’t enough, but can he accept the peace he found with Adam on a permanent basis?

~Someone’s trying to kill Kris Allen.

Kris is not pleased when they cancel his tour and put him in protective custody, until he meets the man responsible for his safety. Kris doesn’t mind being stuck in a hotel suite with Adam Lambert, because he’s interesting to talk to, and he makes Kris laugh. He’s not bad on the eyes, either.

Adam is also the best kisser Kris has ever met.

Kris wants to taste Adam’s kisses again, but Adam refuses to let himself get distracted (not even when Kris walks around in a towel, fresh from the shower, or all sleepy and bedhead-y). People underestimate Kris; they think of him as mellow and laid back, and don’t see the steely determination that lies beneath the surface. And Kris is determined to get his man.

Can Kris convince Adam to take a chance on him, and will the killer give them the opportunity to explore a future together?
