Yes, it's that time of year again...no,
not the post-Xmas or New Year blues, not even the run
up to Valentine's Day...it's the run up to when the tax
returns have to be sent to the Inland Revenue on 31st
of Jan...oh joy.
So it got me thinking...how would the boys
fill out theirs? Would they get Backup to do it? Or would
Richards hack into the IR system and thus eradicate the
need? What would they put under 'professional expenses'?
Humourous or serious it's up to you...the
deadline of course is 31st January.
If anyone thinks the reason I'm posting
this is because I've become mentally unhinged filling
my own one in you're probably right...
Love 'n' hugs Charlotte xx

Since these lists have been quite quiet
recently with the RL Christmas rush and everything, Al
and I though we'd issue a new challenge to see if we can
spark people's interest. *g*
So...a New Year Challenge.
What do Sam and Chris do over New Year?
Are they on duty? Do they spend the day together, or with
their respective families/friends? What New Years Resolutions
do they make, if any? Can they keep to them once they're
made?
*g*
Lots of questions, and we want to know
the answers. <unsubtle hint>
Hope everyone has a great Christmas,
Love Al and Jen xx

Jan and I were talking again last night,
about words and how some of them have wonderful sounds,
and roll around the tongue and don't get used enough and...
We came up with another challenge <g>
Below are 20 words we'd like to see used
in a story. Again, no rules other than you have to use
all of them and only once (not that I think you'll be
wanting to use them more than once <g>). Some of
them are a little... unusual <g> so you might want
to use something like www.dictionary.com if they're a
little unfamiliar.
Well, we were bored! <g> And evil,
of course. But that goes without saying <g>
1. Verisimilitude
2. Consanguinity
3. Languid
4. Nonchalance
5. Serendipity
6. Desquamation
7. Satiation
8. Approbation
9. Dishabille
10. Esoteric
11. Succulent

Some of you may remember that last year,
when Lou and I worked out when Sam's birthday was (June)
I issued a fic challenge - write a Sam's birthday fic.
Well, it's almost June again. So I'm issuing
another challenge <g> However, this time it's Chris'
turn. Since we don't know when the poor love's birthday
actually is, I don't want him to lose out. So the challenge
for the month of June 2001 is:
Write a Chris' birthday fic. It can be happy,
sad, sexy, funny, as mad or as angsty as you want. There
are only two rules:
i) Chris' birthday must be an integral part
of the story
ii) deadline is 30th June
Have fun

Write a story about kissing. It can be a
dribble or a drabble, a little scene, a full blown fic.
Gen, Adult, Slash. Silly, funny, sweet, angsty as hell.
Doesn't matter. The only rules are:
i) it has to feature at least one CI5 character
(and not necessarily Sam, Chris or even Backup)
ii) kissing has to be the main purpose of
the fic. It can be a serious kiss, the kiss of death (think
Judas), kissing their granny, anything, but that has to
be the focus
iii) no sex - kissing only. No kissing just
to get to the juicy bits! If you're going down the romance
route (and I wouldn't blame you :)) then it's *just* kissing.
With me?
Have fun :)

I have just re read a lovely original Pros zine called
What If. The premise was a group of authors were given
the same illustration and asked to write a story around
what they saw. The result was the six very different
interpretations of the same image.
I can't give you an illustration, but I do have an
idea going through my head that just will not go away,
and because I am no good at putting ideas down onto
paper, I thought I would set a challenge to you who
can. So ladies, what can you do wih the following...
What if... Sam has been missing for a week, Chris receives
a tip off of where to find him. When he gets there Sam
is unconscious on a bed with the obvious signs of drug
abuse on his body and a supply of heroin on the bedside
table. On the floor is a dead pusher .....

One of the writer's lists I'm on had a
challenge recently, about writing a fic in the style of
a soap opera and I thought it would be funny if we had
something similar.
So the challenge is to write a New Professionals story
in the style of an American soap, i.e. not Eastenders
(far too depressing :)) It can be as outrageous
and as wacky as you like - evil twins, illegitimate children,
murder, mayhem, kidnap by aliens, waking up in the shower
to find it's all been a dream. Or it could be as
serious as you like. Just make it soapy.

Keel is Bodie's son. Only Bodie and Keel
know this. Bodie gets kidnapped and along the way Keel
bumps into Doyle who is Bodie's lover. They rescue Bodie
only for Keel to go missing presumed dead and then only
to turn up 2 months later. You could also pair Keel up
with Sam.

For those of you who don't know this, CI5
Operational Control will be a year old on 1 Feb 2001.
In celebration of this, I'm issuing the following challenge:
Write an anniversary story. The guys have
been together for a year. If it's slash, they've been
in a relationship for a year. If adult or gen, they've
been partners for a year. Who knows? Maybe they have to
undergo an annual partnership review and that gets them
thinking. :)
The only rules are that a first anniversary
of some sort needs to feature and the deadline is 1 Feb
2001. So get your writing hats on and pens in hand :)

Hi guys
It's that time of year, and our thoughts turn to Christmassy
things and more importantly... slash! So, once again,
Munchie and I have devised a 'use these words' challenge.
The words or phrases are:
1. turkey baster
2. tinsel
3. pantomime
4. mince pies
5. holly
6. fruitcake
7. fairy lights
8. lemming sanctuary
9. house of cards
10. baby oil.
Rules are as follows:
1. has to be a Christmas fic, featuring both of our boys
2. has to use all of the above words and phrases, and
each of them ONLY once.
3. the words can be used in any order, but you will have
our undying respect (or a bonus strait-jacket and 12 months
of free medication) if you actually manage to use them
in the RIGHT order :)
4. Deadline is midnight on 25 December.
Of course, if you fancy a SANE Christmas challenge, there
is always Lou's from last year
which I don't think got a response. You can find
it on the site if you wish.

It's late. Munchie and I are talking.
Always a bad combination. :)
So we came up with this idea of a challenge. Write
a fic using all of the following phrases:
i) "Now you know why they call it the 'emergency
handset'."
ii) "Ride me, big boy"
iii) "Oh no, not on the Armani"
iv) '"I said it wasn't possible in the boot of a
Trabant"
v) "No NO! Not while I'm wearing roller skates!"
You can use them in any order, and points will be awarded
for the most original working in of the relevant phrases.
And yes, we know we're insane. Wibble, wibble :)

Hi guys
Some time ago Lou and I were having a discussion about
backgrounds to the characters and I worked out when Sam's
birthday was. Lou was inspired to write the wonderful
'Birthday
Surprise' and I added the info to Sam's
database.
The point of this post? Yep, you guessed it.
His birthday is in June (if anyone wants to know the reasoning
behind this deduction, that's also in Sam's
database)
So in honour of one of our favourite (fictional) guys'
birthday, I challenge you to write a 'birthday' fic.
No rules apart from that it has to feature Sam's birthday
as a key component of the story.
As an added incentive, in the show he's supposed to be
29, so this birthday should be a biggie :)

I challenge you, the wondrous creators of fanfiction
more entertaining than the show it is based on, to write
a story featuring the following words:
1. nymph
2. doggy
3. Bible
4. piggy bank
5. Tippex
6. typewriter
7. stereo
8. paper
9. elf
10. boat
11. body
12. garden
13. death
14. sex
15. seduction
16. whip(s -- plural optional)
17. e-mail
18. Hewlett Packard
19. tennis
20. oi! (character can shout or think this -- it's
up to you)
21. basketball
22. football
23. plants
24. protestors
25. evil
26. religion
27. Fascists
28. science
29. evolutionary psychologists
30. Paris
31. summer
32. Kennedy
33. FBI
34. hoover (the household appliance, or J. Edgar --
you can choose)
35. transvestite
36. lesbian
37. tenner
38. Alnwick (town in Northumberland with the most amazing
fuck-off huge castle and gardens you've ever seen)
39. history
40. culture
41. organiser
42. Bupa (the health insurance organisation)
43. floppy disk
44. raid
45. plunder
46. treasure
47. Captain Cook
48. Whitby (gorgeous little town/village in Yorkshire,
right on the coast, and I mean right on the coast, used
to be a focus for smuggling)
49. smuggler's den
50. fuck
51. murder
52. drugs
53. smile
54. headphones
55. music
56. classic
57. BMX
58. sixty nine
59. Queen
60. Kielder (the resevoir and forest, both man-made,
in Northumberland)
Now, that's sixty words (you may have noticed that.)
If you lack information on any of the places mentioned
(Paris, Alnwick, Kielder, Whitby), let me know and I'll
pass some on. Anything else you don't know about, look
it up.
The Four Rules are:
1. I've deliberately chosen northern English locations.
I'm sick of reading Professionals and New Professionals
stories set in London. Hence, "London" is the one word
that is not allowed. If you use it, your entry doesn't
count.
2. You can only use each word once. That's *once*.
That includes "fuck". I know how your minds work. You'll
just have to get creative with your expletives. <g>
3. You can use the words in any order you choose.
4. The story can be short and humorous, long and sexy
(although how you could work "evolutionary psychologists"
into a sex scene is beyond me...), or even, if you feel
that way inclined, plotted to death. Anything goes.
Basically, you can use these words however you want,
in whatever context. The only stipulation here is that
the above sixty words *must be used*. I'll be checking
any submissions, be sure of it. <g>
That's it. Feel up to it? Come on, I know you can do
it! Have a go. G'wan.

An old fashioned, old hat, "fluff" BUNNY! *g*
CI5's periodic checks on the internet come up with a
major security breach. A mailing list where everything
that is written imitates their case backlogs for the last
three years. There's only one problem. If
the writers are right about the cases are they right about
Curtis and Keel too?
Backus has her suspicions (and subscriptions *g*) that
they could be correct in their appraisal of the situation.
While attempting to discover the writer's sources will
Curtis and Keel discover each other?
Possible interpretations: Angst overload! Now Keel has
anonymous understanding for the loss of his wife, will
Curtis be able to keep *schtum* about his growing affection
for his partner? In the light of the web-bound soothsayers'
predictions that they will inevitably fall head over heels
for each other, if they haven't already, will they get
it together? Or is this too spooky, even for them, and
they end up hiding under Keel's dining table waiting for
the end of the world?
An embryonic bunny. Have
fun. *eg*

What do CI5 agents do at Xmas? I had
some ideas for silly presents (Fluffy bunny slippers -
Curtis would look great in those. Alyse had the wicked
idea of Keel and a Tigger toy) but what about serious
sentimental presents? And do they sit down to watch
the Queen's speech after dinner with a glass of sherry
or do they do something a little more risque? Do
they even believe in Xmas at all
or are they just too cynical for that kind of thing?
