The Epic Proportions challenge opens on the 1st January 2008 with a closing date of 5th April the same year. The aim of the challenge is to prompt longer stories and, dare we hope, epics from the femslash world. All fandoms adhering to the site's rules and regulations are welcome, as are original tales, so long as they conform to the following guidlines:

        • Minimum of 20,000 words.

        • Any fandom, pairing and rating - so long as they don't contravene the site rules.

        • Femslash. That means the focus should be on the lesbian characters and/or relationship.

        • All stories should be new and not previously archived elsewhere.

        • No incest. No underage sex. No depictions of rape or child abuse. No real people.

        • Beta read.

To sign up for the challenge you need to send an e-mail to me at ralst31@gmail.com including your author name, fandom and genre, if known, and a joke. Okay, the joke is optional. Your name will then be entered into the table below and you'll be able to proudly display your 'Epic Proportions' entrants button.

If you've a story idea but aren't able to write it yourself, feel free to send it to me at ralst31@gmail.com and I'll put it up here for those writers searching for the perfect plot. Although the example I've given is on the silly side, only legitimate story ideas are wanted.
Name: Fandom: Idea:
ralst Voyager Example - Voyager is attacked by tribbles and Janeway is taken away to be the tribble queen, leaving B'Elanna and Seven to work out how to rescue their captain, while Chakotay negotiates with the tribble leader for a new pair of slippers
lexa CSI Catherine and Sara , Sara are in jail for a crime she didn’t do, Everybody think she did the crime (murder or something very bad) except Catherine (she’s a CSI) and they have attraction between them.(They finish together) and I think I will be interesting to see catherine and sara play to the game if you answer correctly 'I’ll undo a button'.
Meghan Devil Wears Prada Miranda is divorced, still does have the twins. Its just Andy never worked for her. Instead they meet because Andy is the girls teacher. They have to get together. Andy/Miranda that is.
Meghan Devil Wears Prada Art show-----Miranda needs to have a part for Irv for his birthday. She has Andy set it up because she can. Andy only knowing one thing about Irv, that he likes art, sets the party up at the gallery Lily works at. While at the party Miranda sees Andy and Lily interacting and finds herself becoming jealous. Not sure why she sets out to find out why and realizes her attraction to Andy and the jealousy she now harbors because Lily gets to see Andy outside of work and see her whenever she likes.
Meghan Devil Wears Prada Sometime after Andy quits Runway and is working at the Mirror something leaks to the press about Miranda and Andy being a couple. So on a random day Andy walks past a newspaper vender and sees she's all over the covers of everything with Miranda in the picture as well. All pics of them at functions and Andy looking at Miranda or Miranda looking at Andy, and then those few that have been edited shots of the two alone just on the same page. Andy freaks out when she is cornered at the Mirror by all her 'friends', all of whom want the scoop on the relationship. It pisses her off so much she goes to see Miranda. Miranda hasn't seen the newspapers yet because Emily, Nigel and the new assistant don't want her to kill them. The three are trying to find a way to bring up the subject of the newspapers when Andy comes storming into the office and straight to Miranda's office.

It all ensues with Miranda just finding all this out about the newspapers and Andy still fuming about it because it says it was leaked from the office and the kicker of the whole thing is they are NOT together...yet. Oh if anyone is interested in this one PLEASE have Emily being with Miranda and Andy in at least two of the articles so when Emily makes a joke about this whole thing insulting Andy, Andy brings up the fact that they're supposedly getting married and Emily says some British curse.

Meghan Devil Wears Prada Cassidy and Caroline are kidnapped and Andy is with them. Miranda is forced to bring in the police when she is given a ransom demand. Lily being Andy's emergency contact is informed about the kidnapping and goes to try and get her friend back. Lily and Miranda disagree about everything and Lily finally calls Andy's parents and one of them agrees with Miranda's ideas while the other agrees with Lily. If the girls and Andy are rescued it would be interesting to see Andy and Miranda form a relationship because the girls need to see Andy once in a while. (It being a trauma they feel they need to stay in contact with Andy)
Meghan Devil Wears Prada Miranda and Andy run into each other randomly on the street. As they are almost talking awkwardly they are both pulled into a van and abducted. While trying to stay alive with their captors they finally admit to the other their feelings. (Previously felt feelings that they had decided never to say anything about because Andy no longer works at Runway)
Meghan All My Children Instead of meeting Jonathan at BJ's after catching Babe and Bianca in bed together Maggie meets Erin instead. They start a relationship and keep it hidden for a while before they are outed by their brothers to everyone at Babe and JR's (second) wedding. Bianca is jealous and decides to fight to get Maggie back. Miranda is given back to Bianca and it helps Bianca reconnect with Maggie but not enough to steal her away. Bianca goes all Kane and starts to really get into the fight to get Maggie. Up to person that writes if Maggie stays with Erin or decides to go with Bianca.
Meghan All My Children Greenlee doesn't leave after she finds out that Kendall is carrying her own child. She stays because Kendall convinces her that she is doing this to her and that she loves her. Kendall has fallen in love with Greenlee but hasn't told her and as they go through the pregnancy together (after kicking Ryan to the curb) Greenlee realizes she's fallen in love with Kendall. Their story as they try to understand their feelings while deciding whether or not to tell the other of them. All while preparing to have a child.
Meghan Criminal Minds Garcia falls in love with a woman and is afraid to tell the team about her having a girlfriend. JJ finds out about Garcia's girlfriend and is very supportive. JJ admits that she's in love with a woman but is afraid to do anything about it. Thankful for JJ's support Garcia convinces her girlfriend to help her set up JJ and Emily because even though JJ never said it was Emily Garcia knows.
Meghan Criminal Minds Emily and JJ go on their first date and Emily is kidnapped due to her mothers political status. She's used as the bargaining chip to do with some kind of political feet the kidnappers want done forcing Emily's mother to do it or Emily dies. The team, even though not their field, are helping. JJ is insane with guilt and worry because she was there when Emily was kidnapped and knocked unconscious as Emily was taken from right under her. About the team’s worry and their need to find Emily while JJ fights her guilt and worry and helps find her girlfriend.
Meghan CSI Wendy/Catherine----Catherine finally takes Wendy up on her offer to dinner and a movie. They start to become serious right around the time of Catherine's drugged drink, Lindsey's kidnapping, and Sam's death. Wendy helps both Catherine and Lindsey through it all and sticks around because she wasn't just interested in a fuck buddy relationship that Catherine had assumed she was interested in. Their trials and tribulations through their budding relationship and their relationship coming into the light when they weren't ready for it. (Please whoever rights this have Lindsey slowly warm up to Wendy when she sees that she cares for her mother and in turn her.)
Sign ups will remain open until 15th January, so you'd best get your skates on and sign up. All finished stories should be submitted on or before the closing date and include a synopsis and story rating.
