Summary Selections Round 2: Free-For-All!
Did you miss out on Round 1 of Summary Selections and still want to make artwork? Did you not get assigned enough summaries in the first place? Have you already finished your projects and need some more to entertain yourself over the coming months? Have you only just found us and are desperate to make some Mentalist fanart for some fantastic stories?
Well you're in luck!
This is Round 2 of Summary Selections. And unlike Round 1, it's a free-for-all. That means it is literally first come, first served. So, you get to pick whichever summary (or summaries) you like best... and chances are, you'll be able to work with it.
But remember:
Big Bangs requires a minimum of three pieces of artwork
Little Bang requires a minimum of two pieces of artwork
Mini Bang requires a minimum of one piece of artwork.
...but you can do more than that if you choose. These are just the minimum requirements! There is no maximum or upper limit.
There's also no limit to the number of fics you make art for either. Just please bear in mind your personal time constraints when you're choosing how many stories you want to make art for in total.
Please make sure you read ALL of the summaries, even if, at this time, you don't think you'll be interested in doing Big Bangs or whatever. You never know, the summary that really excites you might be hidden in that signup group.
If you want to claim a story just reply with 'I claim fic x' or words to that extent. Either miss_peg or I will get back to you to let you know if your claim was a success. You're also welcome to claim more than one fic at once too!

Author: kathiann
Potential Title: untitled
Current Word Count: like 500?
Projected Word Count: min 10.000
Short Summary: Ok, so basically it's an RJ fic. Kind of switches POV's between RJ and the team. RIhgt now it's just Lisbon and RJ, but you know how it oges. I may through some other people in there. He's basically stalking her and her neighborhood, she just doesn't know it, as the story goes on she realizes what's happening. Don't know that there will be any pairings (don't have plans for that right now, but that might change). Based on this drabble that I wrote awhile ago (which sums it up nicely I think).
They called him legendary because he was the one that baffled them all. And with a sweep of his fingers and a slash of his knife he brought fear and anger to everyone he meet…or didn’t meat. He was a shadow always watching, a nightmare that never quite went away when you were awake. You saw him out of the corner of your eye, even though you didn’t know who he was. And if you had the good fortune to meet him then you would only need to meet him once to know that the tails he told were true.
Pairings Involved: No pairings as of yet, probably wont be anything more than just friendship.
Preferred types of art: Anything would be great. I'm not picky and am open to anything really.

Don't know that there will be any pairings (don't have plans for that right now, but that might change). Based on this drabble that I wrote awhile ago (which sums it up nicely I think).
They called him legendary because he was the one that baffled them all. And with a sweep of his fingers and a slash of his knife he brought fear and anger to everyone he meet…or didn’t meat. He was a shadow always watching, a nightmare that never quite went away when you were awake. You saw him out of the corner of your eye, even though you didn’t know who he was. And if you had the good fortune to meet him then you would only need to meet him once to know that the tails he told were true.
Pairings Involved: No pairings as of yet, probably wont be anything more than just friendship.
Preferred types of art: Anything would be great. I'm not picky and am open to anything really.

Short Summary: Bonds deepen in the wake of Red John's death as Jane and Lisbon confront grief and loss and the achingly open question of what comes next.

Short Summary: Grace centric fic (because I do love her).

Pairings Involved: Um, Grace and the guy in the bar. Not sure who else is going to show up in the fic actually.
Preferred types of art: Anything would be wonderful.

Potential Title: Let This Crimson Ink Fade
Current Word Count: ~4500
Projected Word Count: ~7000
Short Summary: Crossover with Stargate SG-1/Stargate Atlantis (story is set on Earth post-SG-1). Jane really is a psychic with a mutated ATA gene who subconsciously repressed his powers after his family was murdered. After finally killing Red John, his powers resurface and he's recruited by the SGC. Takes place before the end of S3; details leading up to Red John's death are mostly glossed over but there's a short portion with some blood and violence. The focus is on Jane and his interactions with the Stargate characters, so Jane's team make only brief appearances.
