Alas, Awesome August has come to an end. It's 0014 on the first of September in my part of the world, so here are the Treasure Hunt results. (Actually after all that coding it's now after 0100, but never mind.
For the Treasure Hunt, participants had to find a story in the following categories...
01 that involves at least one alien.
And we have:
Pickers and Grinners, Lovers and Sinners by Jessa [sexalien!JC!!]
master of the universe by
nopseudThe Seahorse Story:) clutch, by Betty Plotnick
Lance in Space series by Randomling, in which Lance travels with The Doctor
From Mama C's Guide to Intergalactic Etiquette, Chapter One: Don't Look a Gift Newt in the Mouth in which JC is pregnant
02 in which at least one of our boys is an animal at least part of the time.
Nominees:
it's the perfect dream by Ephemera, in which JC is distressed to find he is a were-puma, and
walk, talk, stalk,
move like cagey tigers and
broken in pieces all by NoPseud and set in the same universe but concentrating on Nick.
and every dog his day also by Nopseud, in which Chris is a dog. And
A habitation of dragons in which Justin is a dragon. And, various boybanders as bats and wolves in
Temperance All by Nopseud. Hmm.
03 that uses song lyrics (but not the song title) as a title
In The Corners Of My Mind by Loca
Nopseud is again prolific in this category with
don't waste your money,
life has a funny way,
party like it's nineteen ninety-nine,
and you'll notice my smile (is like kool aid),
is the richard gere gerbil story true? and
hips don't lieWorld would end by Torch, has angels on the freeway, blocking the traffic.
Under the Bridge on the Brooklyn Side is by
withdiamondsReindeer Games by Jae
04 that references Lance's or Brian's heart problems
A difficult one, this.
O Bla Dee, O Bla Da by Arsenic (Brian)
live from the apopalypse and
i know it when i see it, both by
nopseud, are both epic-length fics but do contain references to Lance's heart condition
Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens by JM (Brian)
05 that's a crossover with a fiction fandom
There's quite a lot of scope unexplored with this one!
The Language of Hieroglyphs by Arsenic is popslash/Harry Potter, more particularly JC and Bill Weasley
Turn of Walling by KC is Nsync/CSI.
It's Like Your Hand by
giddygeek features a cloned Nsync in (Stargate) Atlantis, and the
poptarts in Atlantis series by Torch has JC, Nick and sundry walk-ons also in Atlantis.
I've also produced
A Hogwarts Christmas and
Anomaly. which is Nick and Lance aboard the Enterprise-D (ST:TNG).
06 involving Watersports (interpret this whichever way you choose)
Kink by Rhys was nominated by two participants. There's also Not Your Ordinary Romance by
mickeym. Or, to interpret the prompt in a rather different way, there's
Party at Lou's by Jericho, in which the hook-up begins in a pool, and
Water Baby by Pen, in which Kevin and Nick frolic in the sea. And in
nopseud's
practise these principles in all our affairs there are boats.
07 in which at least one Backstreet Boy is involved in a bodyswap
Backstreet don't seem to get about as much as Nsync, but in this category we have
Piece by Peace by Matther Haldeman Time, a Nickswap, and
The other side of the street by
puszysty in which Kevin is switched with JC. I'm sure I remember reading a story where Brian and Lance were exchanged, but I can't figure out who wrote it.
08 in which someone is wearing women's clothing, but not genderswapped
on the dark side of the bed by Halo has Justin/Chris and red silk panties;
and then he said, it's legal in illinois by
nopseud has a fabulously dressed JC, with Lance and a bewildered Aaron Carter; and if you are feeling brave there is
livin' doll, also by
nopseud;
Dress by Jane St Clair is described as 'uncomfortably hot'; Rhys's
Supermodel has JC trying on clothes for Chris, and
Silk and Roses by naiad features Joey.
09 featuring Justin and/or Nick in a threesome
Yummy!
Hot by Rhys mixes Justin, Chris and Joey;
music on your skin by
nopseud has Justin joining the Letterboys. Both Justin and Nick are featured in
Attainable by Matthew Haldeman Time,
Fall Into Place by Arsenic has JC, Joey and Nick together, and
Something So Right by Topaz has Nick involved with Lance and Jesse (and subsequently also JC). And I'll throw in my own
What You See May Not Be What You Get for the Chris/Justin/Lance,
Triple Treat for JC/Justin/Lance,
Toga Party for Justin/Lance/Kevin, and
Let's Do the Time Warp Again for Joey/Justin/Lance.
And Finally!
10 which pairs one (or more) of our pop boys with someone 'outside the box', ie not one of the other pop boys, or Britney, Christina, Wade, Jesse, Eminem (ie the usual suspects).... This is going to be an unexpected and probably unique pairing.
Dr Feelgood by
coreopsis is Nick Carter/Tommy Lee.
ephemera_pop wrote
Justify What I've Become with Chris and Randy Blyth.
There's an outline, rather than a completed fic, pairing (!) Brian with Marilyn Manson
here, by
xoverauStubbleglitter put Justin with Batman in
it was all very tidy.
reassembled just like me by
addictedkitten is Justin/Ryan Gosling.
And I may as well throw in my own,
Strangers (Lance/Ian McKellan) and
Audience (Lance/Alan Cumming).
I hereby declare
call_me_loca the winner, as she filled all the categories with lightning speed, but a big thank you to the other participants, who will be offered banners as soon as I get inspired with Photoshop. Thanks for playing!
