After the last Special Challenge resulted in no entries, I'm afraid because of lack of activity I'm going to have to put pairechallenge on hiatus until a few more people are interested in reviving the community again.

I'm not closing it, and this community will always hold the great fanfiction posted here as an archive.

Thanks to all the members for making this a great place!

Cheers,

paynesgrey, you mod.

Sorry this is late! I was waiting for more votes. Here are your winners!

( Alternate UniverseCollapse )

Don't forget about our "Special Challenge, Three's a Crowd"! Details can be found here.

In an effort to breathe life back into this community, I'm hosting our first Special Challenge!



Here are the Guidelines:

[x] Word count is 100 words or MORE.

[x] 1st, 2nd, 3rd place will receive banners as usual, but the banners will be bigger.

[x] 1st place will get their choice of 6 months of paid LJ time, or 6 months of paid userpics!

[x] All fics must include Peter and Claire as the main characters. It can be platonic or romantic. That's up to you.

[x] Theme: Three's a Crowd - Interpret this however you like. It does not have to be a threesome fic (but it can be), it just has to involve a third person besides Peter and Claire. (E.G. Peter and Claire are caught, someone is watching them, one of the characters breaks up with someone, etc. Be creative!)

[x] Your fics may be canon, AU, or include a crossover with another fandom. It's up to you! No RPF please.

[x] Fics must be new to the challenge. No old fics! One entry per person.

[x] All entries are due Friday night, October 1st at midnight central time.

If you have any questions please let me know by commenting below! Members, please get the word out about this challenge! It will be very helpful if we keep this community alive as long as we can!

Thanks! And Happy Writing!
