Romancing McShep

Beginnings - I love 'em.

Is it love at first sight? Ah, maybe it's antagonism at first sight (it is John and Rodney after all).

But this definition - little messy or imperfect - has John & Rodney and their romantic endeavors written all over it.

I'm sure the question will arise, What can I post for an entry if I'm not a writer?

The answer is - Anything goes. If you've made a pancake of John and Rodney kissing, we want to see it!

Truly, how you imagine John and Rodney's Romance is up to you.

All mediums, stories, meta, rec lists, podfic, pancakes, etc will be met with welcome delight. Remember - this is a Fest!

Don't think this means a story has to be fluff. Some of the best tales involve a rocky road, misunderstandings, and angst. The only requirement for the Fest is to give our boys their happy ending.

"John, look, it's time for our happy ending!"

Yes indeed, it's almost time to celebrate Valentines with John & Rodney and let our guys have their happy ending (er, which sounds vaguely dirty).

As last year, there will be a prompt post - a gathering of inspiration if you will. You may choose an idea or several from the prompt pool or use your own prompt for this years entry.

Then we'll have be a prompt-claiming post and a chance to select your posting date. I'd love to see an entry a day for the first 14 days of February if there's enough interest. Sign up dates will continue throughout the Fest (because it's never too late for a happy ending).

Further info on how this will work is on the profile page and if you have any questions just ask.

This is the announcement post. The prompt post will go up tomorrow.

Please post your Banner entries here where we can shower love on them.

I've put the offered prompts here in a numbered list. ( Under a cut because the list is long. We had over 50 prompts! )

Yesterday we had Pilots and sexy planes. (No my dears, this is not the same as plane sex, but I won't stop you from going there.)

As for astrophysicists...



...let's just say I'm fairly certain Rodney would find this very sexy. If you stare at it too long, it's bound to give you ideas.
