Hey guys!
I know it's been a really long time, but I would like to try to get this comm back up and running.
Leverage is a wonderful fandom, and since we're on our fifth season, with interest higher than ever, I thought I might be able to generate enough interest to start this comm up again.
Last time I tried to revamp the comm, we received very few entries for each contest. So, is there still an interest in this comm? If so, please comment here or message me. I will gladly continue the comm if there is interest, but if not, I'll let it fall into oblivion.
Also, if you have any ideas that you think would help to generate interest in the comm, please comment on this post. I have thought about expanding the comm into other fandoms, but I'm leaving it up to you.
Thank you.

Leverage500's sixth challenge is lines.
Maybe a friend/relative of Eliot's missed their repayment deadlines, so Eliot has to "take care of it". Perhaps Parker has crossed a few too many lines and has a story to tell. Or maybe Nate takes a late-night stroll to study the city lines. It's all up to you!

Leverage500's fifth challenge is open.
There are two ways you can handle this challenge:
1. You can take this literally, and center your piece around something being opened. Perhaps Parker stumbles across Pandroa's box and can't resisting peeking in. Or maybe Nate and Sophie open up to each other emotionally.
2. You can write about whatever you want. Seriously, anything you want goes. If you suddenly see Eliot dangling Hardison off a rooftop and decide to write about it, share that here. Or if you think of a quick, three-sentence-type of thing, drop us a line. Anything goes for this prompt.
To respond, simply post your entry to the community. You do not need to post every week to stay a member.

Our fourth challenge, inspired by my upcoming trip to the art museum, is colors.
Is someone feeling blue or seeing red? Maybe Parker is marveling over how her ivory skin looks against Hardison's brown. Why does Sophie so prefer her blue Jimmy Choos to the yellow ones? And what exactly did Eliot say or do that made the color drain from the team's faces that quickly? You tell us! Anything you come up with, we'd love to see it!

Our third challenge, inspired by the lack of fives in the register at work yesterday, is Fives.
Doesn't everything in Nate's life seem to happen in fives? Write about that. Maybe it's hard for Eliot to see his friends pair off and leave him being the fifth wheel. Perhaps Parker prefers fives to any other denomination of money, and you want to tell us why. Or maybe one of the team has five minutes left to live. What are their thoughts, feelings, etc? Anything you can think of, go for it!
