Characters ♡ The OTP & Pairing Thread ♡ | Challenge #34 Posted: Sonnets Roulette! (4/17, p. 92, #2282)

Got it in the index, earlybird! Thanks so much and glad to have you in the challenge.

And now just a quick announcement that we have two (2) weeks left before stories are due on May 26!

 

And now there’s just one (1) week left before our challenge wraps up! It’s down to the wire now!

 

And now just three (3) days to get stories in for May 26! Anyone else?

 

And today is the day! Any remaining stories that come in by the end of today PST will be included in the voting, which will go up tomorrow.

 

Alright, I got mine done at last. Here's "A Fun Date", in which Mara is having a low-key existential crisis in a nice Coruscanti restaurant while Lando is late for their first date.

 

Great! Got it in our index—thanks so much! And now we are up to three. Voting post coming momentarily!

 

All right, everyone! The stories are in, and it is now voting time for our Destination Events challenge! We have three awesome stories from which to choose:

Surprise Reunion in Theed by devilinthedetails (Padmé Amidala and Palo Jemabie)
Reunion on Corellia by earlybird-obi-San (OCs Jarin Keana and Elsi Bel Innis)
A Fun Date by UltramassiveUbersue (Mara Jade and Lando Calrissian)

Spoiler: …and one ad-hoc entry

With This Ring by Raissa Baiard (OC Wren Ordo and Kazuda Xiono)

As usual, there are two (2) weeks to send in your votes to this sock, so votes are due by the end of the day PST on June 10. The winner will be announced at the end of that time, and the next challenge will go up shortly thereafter. And of course you all know the rules for fair voting!

 

Me again! There’s now one (1) more week left to vote on the three (3) awesome stories in this challenge! See the post directly above for details.

 

And me yet again, announcing that we’re down to three (3) days for voting. Get ’em in!

 

And today is the last day to send votes in! Almost there—let’s see what we get!

 

The results are in for OTP Challenge #29: Destination Events! I’m pleased to announce that we have a two-way tie:

Surprise Reunion in Theed by @devilinthedetails
and
A Fun Date by @UltramassiveUbersue​

Congratulations to you both on your joint win, and many thanks to all who took part and made this a wonderful challenge! And watch this space for our next challenge, which will go up in the next few days!

 

Congratulations

 

Congrats to both winners! And a big kudos to all participants -- as usual I'm about 20-30 years behind on comments but I did read and enjoy every single entry this round.

 

Congrats to the winners

 

Thank you so much, everyone! And now, once again, it is time for a new challenge. This one is is a very straightforward one, provided by @Chyntuck (thank you so much, Chyn!):

OTP Challenge #30: An Old Flame​

That’s all there is to it! Again, stories are due in eight (8) weeks, on Monday, August 7, at 11:59 pm (23:59) PST. TOS and all usual rules apply, as you know. Let’s see what all you fine OTPists come up with!

Main Challenge Index
The Dead Lovers of Mykr by Mira Grau (Eryl Besa and Raynar Thul)
Nostalgic Keepsakes by WarmNyota_SweetAyesha (Leia and OC teen crush; Han/Leia)
The Fair and the First Flame by devilinthedetails (Owen and Aika Lars)
Thoughts on the Loved by earlybird-obi-wan (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Satine Kryze, Siri Tachi)

 

Oh this looks scrumptious! I have a question though. Does the story have to feature the 'old flame' while the relationship is still on or can it be after the fact and one half of the OTP is already with the one they're destined for.

 

I hadn't even thought of the ex post facto option @WarmNyota_SweetAyesha! I guess anything goes, really, and it could certainly make for a great story.

Now to see how I'm going to find time to write a story for this, what with the Olympics and all...

 

Thank you so much for making me win a thing, guys! And congrats to my co-winner, @devilinthedetails!

This new challenge looks like fun-- I look forward to reading what you all come up with!

 

Congratulations @devilinthedetails and @UltramassiveUbersue! And as always, fantastic work by everyone who participated!

 

Oops! I came here for such a drive-by post yesterday that I didn't even read the outcome of the last challenge. Congrats @devilinthedetails and @UltramassiveUbersue

 

That actually looks like an intresting new challenge.

 

I actually have at least two pairings of ex´s that could be intresting but will probably go with Raynar and Eryl. That brings me to a question tough, does the story need to take place during the relationship? Or can it be at a later date them looking back at what could have been?
