Moonlight Fifth Anniversary Challenge: Five Years, Five Days

[allegrita]

September 28, 2012, will be the fifth anniversary of Moonlight's series premiere. In honor of this special occasion, we are having a special, five-day Challenge on the subject of "Five Years," and we hope that many of you will write short stories and pieces to help us celebrate.

Your piece can be any length, and it doesn't have to be a story. It can be an essay, or a poem, or even a description of actual events. The only limitation is, it has to be about Moonlight, and it has to fall into the loose category of "Five Years."

This special Fifth Anniversary Challenge will end at 9pm Pacific Time on Friday, September 28th, 2012, because that's the time that so many of us first experienced the show that changed our lives..

Please post your story in your office and put a link to it, with the title and rating, as a reply on this thread. We will keep the opening post updated with links to the stories. If you don't have an office, please pm me and I'll set one up for you--or if you are writing a nonfiction piece, feel free to post it here in this thread.

Please note that, since this is not an official Champagne Challenge, you are welcome to submit stories or other pieces that fit the Challenge subject, even if they weren't written in response to this Challenge. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Happy Moonlight anniversary -- and happy writing!

Carol, you're always among the very first responders to our challenges, but I think this is a first, even for you--beating our announcement by 24 hours or more.

Hey, have you been using that Delorean from your crossover story to find out what we're going to post?

Seriously, though, I'll update the first post with your story link. And thank you for being so amazingly proactive!

She's not a Barbie-phile....she is WONDERWOMAN!

This story actually did come from the prompt. I don't know why Coraline told me about this tidbit of vampire life but...

Thanks Lucy! I'll update the first post.

I got so excited about posting my story, I forgot to come here and leave the link.

Anyway, it's "Five Years Back."

Ever wonder why Mick was getting up SO late, the night he met Beth at the fountain? I'm guessing why...

ETA: And I see the wily Allegrita was way ahead of me, and already put the link in the first post!

I'm adding a link to VampFan5's hilarious one-shot, And Wait in the Car Means? Rated NC17.

5 years......5 stories....a coincidence???? Let's send Mick out to investigate......

[allegrita]

That is a very cool coincidence! But you know us, we always welcome late entries. So if you've got a "Five Years" story in your head, please don't hesitate to share it with us, whenever you get around to finishing it!
