Now, I've got a copy of the Firefly script for Jaynestown as a prize for this month's competition. This is not an autographed copy-just the script itself, but it's still a sweet collectible, if you're an Adam fan (or a Firefly fan)!   Here are the rules for this month's competition: You pick a picture of Adam. Alone or with other characters from his body of work. We're looking for a story, no more than 500 words, no less than 100 words, about that picture, but not using the actual story from that film/show. Does that make sense? Oh, and the kicker? No pictures from Chuck and no pictures from Firefly/Serenity-choose one of his many many other characters to work with. I'm going to have an outside person judge this competition, just to be fair. My friend Laura has never seen Adam in anything-she's not a Firefly fan, she's never seen Chuck, nor Angel, nor anything else that he's been in as far as we can tell (this being discussed over a few martinis after work earlier this week). The last day for this competition is January 25th-she'll be reading them all on the 26th, and I'll announce the winner that day once she's made the decision. Good luck! |

You can post 'em here, or post them on livejournal and link, or any other site that allows for a picture and the story.
That'll let everyone have the fun of reading new original stuff!

 Adam, on the set of a movie and in full costume, looks up at the smoke coming from the fire that he is scheduled to jump in. He’s not afraid but just very wary of his situation- he wants to do a good job on the movie so he brings it to the attention of the director. Too bad this director is kind of a shmuck. “Ugh, Mr. Director…” he says, hesitantly. Engrossed in what he was doing the director ignores him… the chick he’s trying to check on is Lindsey Frost, one of the co-stars. She’s been parading around the set in a teeny tank-top and shorts. Figures it would be a dame that would have get this guys attention. Adam, on the other hand, is not amused. He works too d**n hard to be amused. Adam gets insistent and the director gives him a glaring look: “What?” he says. “Well…um it’s a real fire…” Adam points out. Adam didn’t think “What’s the title of the movie?” the director asks, nastily. “Smoke Jumpers…” Adam points out. He figures out what’s coming next and rolls his eyes. “Well…with fire. There’s smoke and you’re supposed to board the plane to jump into that…so….what’s the problem?” points out what Adam has suspected. “…real fire?...” Adam asks. He knows that made for TV movies had low-low budgets, but this was ridiculous… No stunt men and now real fire? “And…?” asks the director. If Adam were any other man, this guy would have been dead. Adam gives him a look, sucks up his pride, and proceeds to do board the plane to do the scene. Work is work… ..I mean at least he was glad the guy he was playing was hot and not some low life redneck type. He was sure that his character would do this. So he did it. He’s that type of guy.

Ooooh someone post some stories! Come on girls we can do it!!! Well the plot bunny just punched me in the face...Thanks LadyTalon... Just for fun  WorkinBeing kidnapped by Vampires is not… what I call “Fun.” Surreal…not fun… They killed my partner just because his laugh was annoying and because he wouldn't stop talking. I stand for a moment in silence for my friend-Lester. I’m scared..but I have an advantage. They need me.. “…Fer wha?” the dumb hick vamp named Lenny says over my shoulder. I’m kind of surprised he could actually read. “For...nothing..Why are you looking over my shoulder- The computers almost fixed.” I’m a nerk..geek..er…tech guy. That’s what I do. Lenny- strong like bull, dumb like ox, looks at me all indignant that “I” was rude to him. He’s probably going to kill me anyway. He grabs me by the throat. “Well ter me it looks like its all fixed up.” he says pointing at the screen- he then squints to read what site I was on… “Live. Journal?…” he says squinting. He’s a little too close for comfort. I can smell the teeth that are rotting in his mouth. “You done did writ about us in your diary pansy, what for?” “Testing” I squeak. He has huge hands. Darius, their leader looks up from his womanz and shrugs. One gesture and Lenny drops me to the floor. “What I want is my netz to be fix-ed and that I get to see dem womanz with the sexy underbritches.” He smiles an interesting (or interested) smile. I *hand face palm*. I regain my composure and sit back in the chair. It’s a rinky dink chair and with every shift I hear it groan under the pressure of my weight. “For your information, Denny…” I start. “Lenny!,” he growls. His hands close to fists and I gulp. “Lenny… Live Journal is not all about whining… It’s also about porn.” I say as I click on a couple of stories. One is about a Slayer and a hick Vampire that seems all too familiar. He reads, slowly and out loud and smiles. His yellowish green teeth out shining his blue eyes. He seems satisfied as I let him sit in front of the computer. I inch my way to the door. A hiss I turn around. Black and Red oblivion. My name was Trent. I wake up and there stands Lenny… “Heya Buddy!” he says standing over me. Oh No |

Well, I can see that tinadoll has won! My friend, Laura isn't awake yet (anything before 11 on a weekend is unheard of for her!), so we're not sure which of tinadoll's fics won.
tinadoll-I've got your details, I'll send out the package on Monday! Congratulations!
Don't forget to vote on the format for the next competition!
