We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Title: Someone Who Gets It
Fandom: Doug (Nickelodeon)
Pairing or Characters: Doug/Chalky
Rating: G
Warning: None
Prompt: Disaster Gay/Bi
Summary: "I guess I always did have a thing for jocks."
In which Chalky, the most perfect kid in school, is a gay disaster, Doug is still a disaster, and it turns out to be the best thing that happened to either of them.
( Of course it would be Doug, who even at his most self-focused and insecure somehow managed to be the nicest guy in school. )

Challenge 264: SUMMER VACATION |
Ah, summer! It’s a good time for a nice vacation, a break from school, work, or our heroes’ usual adventures. Maybe there’s a traditional holiday or festival to attend, or maybe it’s just an excuse to go to the beach, or camping, or just stay home and relax. But sometimes things don’t always go to plan! Maybe it’s a hundred degrees the entire week, or maybe it won’t stop raining. Maybe the adventure follows our heroes to the beach, and now instead of relaxing they’re right back on the job. Maybe they just picked a vacation that involves several million mosquitoes. Write a story about summer vacation. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
Challenge ends Monday, June 30 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 264 – summer vacation • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
