Me mucho confused.

*voice of Artemis* "I utterly despair of your grammer ever improving."

SHUT UP FOR NOW, OKAY? I'M JUST GETTING THE POINT ACROSS!

Okay, since SOMEBODY can't take a bit of bad grammar, I am extremely confused. Where do we post this stuff? Do we post it as a fanfic on the board? Or do we post it on here? Ugh....

*Arty* "Ugh isn't a word. Really, do you even know the meaning of the word vocabulary?"

*Me* Begins banging head on desk.

So, help! Since I really want to do the challenge.

Even though I don't know what to do, I still started to do the second challenge on Microsoft word at my house. I would've done the first one, but I don't think my parents would find a Chix/Butler story very funny if they found it. Oh well.

#8 Dec 29th 2005, 12:03pm

Much! Thank you. *bow*

#9 Dec 31st 2005, 9:11pm

You'll all be happy to know Ive completed the second challenge! *drumroll* It's titled Day of Disgrace. Read it, and know fear. XD

#10 Dec 31st 2005, 10:44pm

You post it the way you normally post fanfics, but in the summary you can say its a challenge. You can also give us the link by posting it here.

And I know what you mean about your parents; This one time, I wrote this M-rated Arty/Butler one shot with lots of lemon. My mom found it, and she started screaming at me. Then she burned it and grounded me for a month.

Okay, this is gonna be last post until someone else posts. I just wanna say, because no one else would do it, I did the first challenge. I now have an extremely disturbing image of Butler shaking his ** and singing "Dont Cha" by the ** Cat dolls, but I did it. Here's the link:

Its really short, but if it was any longer I might have died from writing it. Its called Butler in Love, because I couldnt think of anything else to call it.

#13 Jan 01st 2006, 11:57am

Oh, wow. SHe did it everyone! Miss Jamie pulled off an extremely anatomically incorrect fic!

*Holds up arm* Yes! You must check it out now!

#14 Jan 01st 2006, 1:39pm

You're weird, you know that? And I love Butler! I'm writing a romance about him called Diamonds are Forever. The only reason I did the stupid challenge was becuase no one else would.

#15 Jan 01st 2006, 3:41pm

I was going to, but decided I loved the idea of Artemis accidentally falling down a lava chute. And for such a strange fic, you did it quite well. ^^

I had to write something, you said you wouldnt come back until somebody said something! T T So I did.

And yes, I know I'm weird. XD

#16 Jan 01st 2006, 5:08pm

Maybe I should have used the song "All I Wanna Do". Thats way more romantic then "Dont Cha", and it's sung by a girl too.

Whats the record for most chaptered fic without a single reveiw?

#17 Jan 01st 2006, 6:26pm

Mmm...I'd say five or so. I had no reviews on a five chaptered fic for a LONG time. Now I have 1. No one even bothered enough to tell me it sucked. TT;

#18 Jan 01st 2006, 7:44pm

5! Wow! And I was getting worried cause no one had reveiwed my 2 chapter fic!

#19 Jan 01st 2006, 7:59pm

Dont worry. ^^ It'll happen eventually, youre a good writer. ^^ I know that I read and enjoy fics but have copied them to my computer to read on my leisure time, then wish I remembered who the author was to review it. Check the hit list. If it's not getting reviews, at least people are reading it, and hopefully being inspired. ^^

#20 Jan 02nd 2006, 1:07pm

Jamie Love, I read your challenge, (quite a few entries up). I did write a story that incredibly fits your challenge, last year, but it really needs tweaking. It's horribly depressing, and I thought people would think me suicidal, etc. Plenty of cutting, and so forth. The funny thing is, if I knew someone who did, I'd utterly flip.

Anyway, perhaps... just perhaps, I'll edit it and publish it. I only turn out about 10% of the the stuff I write, which is really sad. I'm too much of a perfectionist though. That's the problem. Anyway, if you want me to do it, I will. I've always thought Holly and Julius would make a pretty decent couple if Julius got over his temper.

O.R.

#21 Jan 04th 2006, 1:49pm

Oooh! I have another challenge! Okay, here it is (It's pretty straight forward):

Must Include:

-At least 20 pairings (Yaoi, Yuri or Normal)

-Someone getting drunk

-Someone bursting into tears.

I dont know why I thought of that. It can be parody or whatever. And dont tell me there arent 20 possibilities for pairings! Use some characters twice or more.

I'm weird, I know. o_0

#22 Jan 06th 2006, 11:28am

You should post it! My mom gets kinda scared about some of the stories I write, but who cares?!

#23 Jan 06th 2006, 11:28am . Edited Jan 06th 2006, 11:30am

I don't tell anyone except some of my friends what I write, or they might get worried. Even the people who know me, you know?

Anyway, I read through the story, which is about 76 pages, and uncompleted. It needs a LOT of work! Maybe in a year? Anyway, I'm working on four stories at once, one of which is been updated currently, and I don't think I can handle it. Truly.

Sorry.

O.R.

#24 Jan 06th 2006, 12:13pm

Hoonah

I have two crazy plot bunny challenges:

Butler is really Artemis's father

Butler is really Juliet's father, but tells her that she is his Sis to keep her safe from an old enemy.

I know that these are crazy, but they ARE plot bunnies.

#25 Jan 06th 2006, 1:11pm

Ooooh! I like the sound of that, Honnah. I'd love to write one, but I'm too busy writing chapter 3 for Diamonds are Forever. :( Oh well, maybe if I find some free time.

#26 Jan 06th 2006, 8:49pm

Potestas

My challenge is write an Artemis Fowl fanfic, the challenge? KEEP HIM IN CHARECTER! People almost never do.

#28 Jan 14th 2006, 5:54pm

humhallelujah

Sounds interesting. I can try that one.

My challenge:

Write an story (can be one-shot) entirely in future tense (Insted of He waits/he waited, use He will wait.). I don't know if this is possible, but I've tried before and it did not work well. At all. If you can, I will love you forever.

#29 Jan 15th 2006, 7:37pm

I think I can do that. Any other requirements?

#30 Jan 17th 2006, 9:53pm

Are you serious? Do you have any idea what bad writing that is? I mean, unless you have characters in the middle of a computer game run by some aliens, and the aliens are programing the rest of their lives for amusement, you can't really have future tense! It forces all kinds of odd grammar situations on the writer, and is confusing to the reader. Besides, since we usually don't write in future tense, the writer is liable to slip up here and there.

O.R.

P.S. If you can actually give a good reason for writing a story in future tense, and write a good story to go along with it, I shall take back everything I said.

Oh yes, and everyone I've talked to has said that many more people are reading than reviewing. Only about 10% of the people reading my story are reviewing, and that makes me mad! Has anyone else noticed that on their story?

#31 Jan 20th 2006, 7:31am

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2762030/1/

MWUAHAHAHAHA!

I did it! I actually did it! It took forever, but I DID IT!

I wrote the "Butler's Arty's Father" Fic!

Its called Falling. It's sorta sad. Didnt make me cry, but it made me pretty depressed. It's a oneshot. And its Angst/Drama. Here's the link:

Butler's POV. All Present-tense. You have no idea who annoying that was for me. But it sorta had to be...

#32 Jan 20th 2006, 6:24pm

Yeah, I noticed. I think I can do it though, Ive done rather well on things like it. Any other requirements before I start?

#33 Jan 25th 2006, 3:40pm

I had to astonishingly childish ideas for challenges, and just to let you know, I would never write these, but I would dearly love to read them.

1) Foaly has a crush on Lili Frond, and someone finds out.

2) Julius is found in the lingerie section of a large department store. (perferably with some woman, and hopefully Vinyaya)

Totally random, rather funny ideas. Have fun.

O.R.

Kieko Goes ROAR

Oooooooh, yummy topic. That would be really awesome!

~Aki, who is suffering a deadly case of writers block due to scheduling next years classes and so cannot think of anything else to say! Yeah, for the record people, I have more than one name that I go by online. Aki is one of 'em. If I call myself something else on a different post, it's still me-just writing with a different name on that post.

#35 Feb 01st 2006, 2:05pm

Kitty Rainbow

Avovisto, since I read your "future tense" challenge I couldn't stop thinking about it... In the end I had to write a drabble (100 word fic) just to get my brain back.

http://mesmerised.kittyrainbow.co.uk/certainty.html

As it's so short I've only posted it on my website, and not on this site. Anyway, I hope you'll think it adequately fulfils the challenge. :)

#36 Feb 08th 2006, 10:19am

Hello everyone. I have a challenge for you.

This fic must take place when Artemis is 16-18. Butler has died (someone faked it) and Artemis has tried to encompass both of their roles ie having Juliet teach him to defend himself. Do your best to keep him in character though I know some ocness is immpossible to avoid when writing this kind of pic.

* no pairings slash or het

* must include at least one battle even if only a sparring match between Juliet and Atry

* must be at least 5,000 words long

* Butler returns

* Butler gets drunk and acts weird( for comedy reasons)

Now if this is too demanding then yell at me and I will try to tone it down. I am veyr curious as to how everyone will approach this.

#37 Sep 06th 2006, 4:06pm

-gasps dramaticcaly- Brilliant! I'll do it! I'm already planning the story out in my head! (out. in. Isn't it hilario......Sorry fot my warped sense of humour)

Can it include stuff like Butler having a huge hangover? Purely for comical reasons. And I think I can keep them around 75-95% in character.......

I also have my own challenge! I know people aren't gonna respond to it (they didn't to my challenge at the KH fandom.....), but I don't care anyway! Here goes nothing!

*Main pairing: Timmy/Angeline. Other pairings are allowed except twincest/incest.

*MUST include Artemis playing the piano in a correct fashion, and the title of the song has to be specified. Why? Because I think he'll be awesome in playing the piano. And I just can't get it out of my head.

*Either Holly or Juliet has to act reasonably feminine. (either one of them has to appear)

*Minerva has to act reasonably un-sue-ish. (if she appears)(optional)

*Must not be a drabble. Must be at least 627 words long.

Completely random. Oh well.

#38 Oct 15th 2006, 6:24am

Sure you can do what ever you like as long as you put in what I asked. I look forward to reading your story.

#39 Oct 24th 2006, 12:02am

Yay! I'm doing the rough draft now. I got 50-75% of the plot covered and the ending too, but I'm just stuck on the introduction/beggining.......

#40 Oct 27th 2006, 10:58am

Know My Dark

Here's a challange!

Plotline: Think up one worthy of Eoin Colfer

Must NOT include:

*Relationships of any kind

*Past villians unless it's Opal Koboi or possibly Jon Spiro

*Main characters dying

Those are all things I hate to see in Artemis fanfictions. So if anyone is capable of writing a 'good one' I for one, would like to see it.

I'm taking the challenge. I'm working on a fanfiction like that right now. Should be up soon.

#41 Nov 06th 2006, 2:49pm

Hey Larxene II! If you need any help I have been trying to get my muse to go away for some time now....ya want him? (he is very strange I have to warn you)

Actually I was just curious as to how things are going. If you need any help give me a email or something.

#42 Nov 12th 2006, 9:39pm

Know My Dark

My story will be up later today. It's called "Artemis Fowl and the Last Atlantis", as Eoin-Colfer-like as I can get it. If you're tired (like me) of reading stories which have no resemblance to the books, then this is the story for you.

#43 Nov 16th 2006, 2:39pm

Actually, yes, I AM having difficulties. MAJOR difficulties. I think I'm having a "Writer's block"........ FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

........and all right. I'll take him. -takes muse away from Cyllwen-

#44 Nov 24th 2006, 8:19am

If there is anything I can do let me know. I am told that I am good to bounce ideas off of. Spellspinner Vincent Valentine does it all the time...while he is hiding from farawaydawn.....gone to think about it we all sound like we are in a secret society....I'm Cyllwen...but not really...your Larxene II but that isn't what your parents named you.............what od ya know ff.net just became even more fun!

#45 Nov 27th 2006, 10:08am

PaddySnuffles

Hello! Well, er... here's my challenge, if anybody cares to know...

An AF LotR crossover.

Doesn't have any specifics to it, but some Arty/Holly would be great. and a bit of crazyness is always welcome. ~grins~
