harlequinkradamWelcome to our sixth round of Harlequin Kradam Fest! Please comment here with your prompts.
~We will accept prompts through July 5th.
~All of the prompts will be collated into a list and posted here at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
harlequinkradam on July 6th for claiming. Prompts will be available for claiming (and you may post your fanfic or fanart submissions) from July 6th through September 30th.
You may submit:
~general prompts or more specific scenarios;
~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 go ahead and submit your own prompts!

Date: 2013-07-05 12:18 pm (UTC)~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?
~Kris Allen is the heir to the Allen fortune. He is expected to finish college with a degree in business and go to work for the family, learning the business from the ground up and eventually taking it over from his father. Kris is prepared to give up his dream of becoming a musician and settle down with the perfect wife until he meets Adam Lambert and discovers a passion he’d only before found in his music. Will Kris accept the life everyone expects of him, or choose the life that makes him happy?
~After bad investments [or reason of author’s choice] leave the Allen family broke, Kris Allen turns to the one person he knows will be willing to loan his father the money . . . for a price. Adam Lambert is a scoundrel, but he’s never lied about one thing – his desire for Kris. Will Kris be able to hide his own attraction for the other man long enough to complete their business arrangement and get out in one piece?
~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.
~Adam Lambert’s a little tipsy when he mistakes Kris Allen for a fan and takes him home for the night [or blows him off, author choice]. Things are a bit awkward when Adam realizes that the Kris he met the night before is the same Kris Allen his band is supposed to be opening for on their upcoming tour. Can Adam convince Kris that he’s not quite the player [or jerk] he appears to be, and show him that they’re perfect for each other?
~Kris Allen wakes up in the hospital having lost his memories of the last six months of his life. The one thing he remembers is Adam Lambert, and the love they share. Adam takes Kris home from the hospital to the home they share, but things feel strange to Kris. What happens when he remembers the truth, that Adam left him for another man and has just been playing a role to help Kris get his memory back? Can Adam convince Kris that he truly loves him? Can Kris trust him?
~Kris Allen and Adam Lambert were once friends. Now they’re being forced into an arranged marriage so that Adam’s family doesn’t lose their home and standing. Kris had been in love with Adam when they were growing up, but Adam only had eyes for Bradley Bell. Kris believes that Adam is pining for his ex and only marrying Kris to help out his family. He agrees to the marriage only if they never have to share the same bed. Can Adam convince Kris that he is the one Adam loves?
