The LoVe Bondage Smutathon 2005

October 4th, 2005 ~ October 24th, 2005

The Idea:

It's going to be a rough time for both LoVe and fans LoVe these the coming months. But how rough? That's for you to answer in this month's Bondage Smutathon Challenge, or as we call it with affection, the Tie Me Up challenge. The requirements are simple: Veronica and Logan, anytime, anywhere, any position. But somebody has to be a bit tied down. Handcuffs, belts, scarves, and rope: It's all fair game. The spooks and creeps of Halloween are just around the corner; it's time to get a little bit kinky.

Rules:

1. This a LoVe ficathon. That means Logan/Veronica ship only. Other pairings are allowed, but the smut (if included) and fic need to revolve around the Logan/Veronica relationship. Meaning Veronica could be with Duncan, but be pining away for Logan. The same with Logan(If you want to put him with Duncan that is :P).
2. The main theme of the story has to be LoVe with bondage. You can't just put one of them in a blindfold or have one rescue the other from a madman and have celebratory sex - well, unless they can't wait to get untied before commencing the *ehem* festivities, that is. We want the bondage to be an important theme in the fic. And this challenge is for ratings of R or stronger, no PG-13 or fluffy-handholding-sweetness.
3. When x-posting, we would appreciate it if you could mention loveathons in your author's notes somewhere when you post a fic from our challenge someplace else. So if you submit something, we better see a loveathons mention in there. Be nice, you guys. We all want more entries so that we can read them, but we all need to contribute to be spreading the word for that to happen.
4. We are now requiring participating members to put a button in your journal (see button below) for reasons stated in rule 4. It’s a requirement not because we’re planning on stalking you down and kicking you out of the community. We say it’s a requirement because we really hope you’ll spread the word around and help get this community on its feet. We also have an alternative banner if you'd like to promote this challenge specifically.

Guidelines:

1. Fics are due October 24th to be considered for voting.
   
2. Fics must be at least 800 words. (We encourage you to write looong fics though.)
   
3. Please write the title of your fic and then your username as the subject of your entry. Like so: "Hot, hot LoVe - Me."
   
4. Above the lj-cut, put the following information:
   
   1. Title
   2. Author
   3. Rating
   4. Word Count
   5. Summary

Other:
We want everyone to do something to contribute to this three week festival of fun. While our main focus is fic (because hey, who doesn’t love fic?) we would love to see some challenge icons, wallpapers, wallscrolls, fanvids, and anything else you can think of.

1. Must be posted by October 24th to be considered for voting.
2. Please put whatever graphic you are posting (I.E. 'Icons') and then your user name in the subject.

Additionally, we'd like to open the floor for one more mods to help with judging, graphics, posting, and moding. We are particularly looking for avid fic readers who are not likely to submit fiction to the challenge and can help us make a more objective judgment for Judge's Choice. If you are interested, please post below. Use of AOL Instant Messanger is a plus. Thanks!

Have fun and write me some good fic!
