Prompt & Author's Notes: End of chapter 9. Much smaller. I'm sorry for not posting before going to bed last night. I meant to, but I guess I fell asleep before I could. :P Again, for the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. As always, betaed by asuka14.


( Chapter 9b )

Title: Seldom Second Chances
Author: Clay
Pairing: Ryan/Colin
Rating: NC-17 (for later chapters)
Summary: When a freak accident drops an impossible opportunity in Ryan's lap, it's up to him to decide whether to squander it, or to change his fate by going after the one thing he's always wanted.
Word Count: ~1800
Prompt & Author's Notes: Again, for the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. This scene didn't really fit with the last chapter or the next, but it's not long enough to be it's own chapter, so it's 8.5. I feel like I have the weirdest chapter numbering conventions for this story. :P As always, betaed by asuka14.

Further Author's Notes: Okay, so here's the thing—before now, this story was written out; I just needed to type and edit it. Now, however, I'm actively writing, so I'm going to need more time between chapters for most (if not all) of the rest of the story. So my question for anyone reading this is: would you rather I post a full chapter every other week, or I post every week, but a smaller, half chapter, like I'm posting today? Thank you in advance for your input, and I hope you enjoy this week's smaller offering. :)

Title: Seldom Second Chances
Author: Clay
Pairing: Ryan/Colin
Rating: NC-17 (for later chapters)
Summary: When a freak accident drops an impossible opportunity in Ryan's lap, it's up to him to decide whether to squander it, or to change his fate by going after the one thing he's always wanted.
Word Count: ~5000
Prompt & Author's Notes: Again, for the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. As always, betaed by asuka14. This chapter is split in half because it was very long, probably about 8,000 words total. The second part will be much shorter, but it's action packed! ^_^

Rating: NC-17 (for later chapters)
Summary: When a freak accident drops an impossible opportunity in Ryan's lap, it's up to him to decide whether to squander it, or to change his fate by going after the one thing he's always wanted.
Word Count: ~3400
Prompt & Author's Notes: A shorter chapter, as this was originally part of chapter 3 (thus the change from 12 to 13 chapters), but a fun one. Again, for the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. As always, betaed by asuka14.

Prompt & Author's Notes: For the Thon Prompt 33: Strangled by the red string. Also, I'm going to try and post every week on Wednesday or thereabouts, but only half of the story is actually written right now, so there might be a couple week hiatus in the middle of the story while I catch up. As always, betaed by asuka14


( Chapter Two )

This will be for prompts inspired for the next month of episodes, starting with last night's.

How to play:
1. Comment on this post with a story prompt. Anything from or inspired by the first four episodes of season 10, as long as you can even tenuously connect it to an episode, let's have it! What do YOU want to see people writing about? What did you see that made you go "I need to know the story behind that!" or "But what happens next!?" Even if you don't plan on writing, that's okay! Everyone is free to give prompts!

2. Choose a prompt. Write a story! Look through other peoples' prompts, and if you see something that speaks to you, write it! And then leave your story as a reply to their prompt/comment. And you can pick a prompt even if someone else has already written for it. The more the merrier!

3. Read and enjoy! Check out the stories that other people have written, and leave feed back by replying to their story/comment.

Rinse, and repeat! ^_^

Hello again!

I loved last night's episode. It was funny and slashy, and super inspiring, and I'd love to see some great little stories come out of it. In fact, the season as a whole has had much more of that 90s feel, and I'm loving it, and I want to celebrate it! So let's jump into this drabble event!

Right now, I'm not thinking of making this an anonymous thing (like with a kink meme), either with the prompts or the stories, but if there's enough requests, we can do that. If you want that, leave a comment in the mod post. And also remember that there are reaction posts over at whoselineslash [LiveJournal] if you want a reminder of what the first four episodes were and what happened in them. And of course, for those in the U.S., the full episodes are available at The CW's wesbite. (Anyone know were they're available to stream outside the U.S.?)
