Sign Up for Team Angst!

[sage]

Signing up for Team Angst:

Angst can have happy endings or not, but along the way our heroes may face heartache, loneliness, physical pain, bad breakups, being thrown from airplanes into thirty feet of snow, exile in Las Vegas, exile in the Arctic, exile in the wilds of Chicago, and so on. Hurt/comfort is awesome; so are ships passing in the night, deathfic, grief-fic, and fic about cases gone bad and stories fraught with desperate standoffs and gut-wrenching tension. And of course there is romance within the angst: longing, lust, quiet-smoldering love, misunderstood affections, reconciliations after rough fights, etc. Evil villains and their minions can keep our boys apart -- mobsters, shady US government agents, shady Canadian government agents, rogue arms dealers, and so on. There's so very much a writer can play with here on the angsty side of the sandbox.

Sound like fun? If so, fantastic!! Read on...

nos4a2no9 is your team captain and there are 17 places open. Positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and you can sign up yourself and only one other person. If you are signing someone else up, please do so in a SEPARATE comment.

We will mark the cut-off point in the comments when the team is full. We invite anyone who would like to join the team as an alternate/in order to write backup fic to please wait to comment until AFTER that point.

All set? All right! To join Team Angst, please comment below with your LJ name and email address. Thank you!! :D

[omphale]

Yeah, okay. Fair enough. In my defense, I'm frantically trying to clean my apt so that I can leave for the airport in 45 minutes.

[jamethiel]

EEEE!!!! You can haz a slidellra!!! GO YOU!!!

[omphale]

I can! Except...she's not allowed to look in my bedroom, because it's a disaster. I haven't even made the bed. Or put the laundry away. Or...

oh my god, I totally fail at hosting people.

*frets*

[eledhwenlin]

Pst: the post says that if you sign up someone else, too, you should make a second comment.

[omphale]

Totally missed that the first time. Thanks, honey!

[eledhwenlin]

[secretlybronte.livejournal.com]

What the heck? If I make the cut-off, put me in for Angst. If I get caught and fired under the morality clause by my employer, then at least I'll have something to be angsty about. Thanks! :)

Do I get some sort of handicap in the voting for being the first person to screw up at this?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

BWEE.

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, I feel like Pele just joined my varsity soccer team.

I read "End of the Road" 14 months ago and told myself that I'd send detailed feedback just as soon as I recovered from the experience. Sadly, I never did.

[aerye.livejournal.com]

Oh, what the fuck. Sigh me up. LJ name: aerye

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

AND YAY AGAIN! WOOO!

[katallison.livejournal.com]

Yay! (*high-fives you*)

Now all I think Team Angst needs is some team jackets -- black leather, of course. Maybe with tasteful accompanying black leather pants of Evil. And of course, hobnailed boots for a-trampling on the tender hearts of our beloved readers.

(*dons the Uniform of Angst, flexes*)

[aerye.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm thinking slightly scuffed, from all that emotional wear and tear.

*smiles sweetly*

[aerye.livejournal.com]

Phffpt! You romance types are so lame.

::g::

[qe2.livejournal.com]

*sniffs haughtily* We prefer the term "differently abled", thank you. Or perhaps "laughing at you on the inside, since all y'all angsty types not-so-sekritly want happy endings, too".

*smiles even more sweetly and puts molasses on your pom-poms*

Team Angst is FULL!

[sage]

If you sign up after this point, you are signing up to be an alternate / backup fic writer. You'll still be on the team, but your fic may not be seen until the end of the challenge.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Happy to be alternate/backup:

redchance @ aol.com - that's me, shayheyred

[bertybertle.livejournal.com]

Also happy to write backup/alternate fic. Go team angst!

bertybertle @ yahoo dot co dot uk = Berty = bertybertle

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Argh, dammit. I really wanted to sign up as back-up/alternate. Am I too late for that?

Am loneraven, address is iona.raven @ gmail.com.

[verushka70.livejournal.com]

Damn, how the hell did I miss this?

Clearly I missed the signup, but put me down as a Team Angst backup. I have nothing against romance. But darkness has always been my best subject. It's somehow so gratifying when the guys go down a dark path and come out the other side more twisted in love with each other than before. *g*
