We have a week left to go to for posting entries. There's just two things to remember for the fest. Anything goes after that.

1. John and Rodney happy endings are required.

2. Please post a link to your entry at Romancing McShep (at either DW or LJ) so that I can find it when I create the masterlist.

This basic info should be included in your post. Alter and add to as needed for your entry.

One week! How's very one doing?

If you'd like to sign up for this year's Romancing McShep Fest here's the place to do that.

This is meant to be low pressure so signups aren't necessary. It does help us to know who's still interested and it's a great opportunity to tell us what prompt you've chosen whether it's from the prompt post or one of your own choosing.

Please comment to this post with your prompt suggestions. Prompts may be anything including, but not limited to, pictures, poetry or song. You may offer as many prompts for the fest as your romantic heart desires. We'll continue with our shameless begging for prompts until midnight Jan 31st.

Feel free to check out the prompts posted in previous years. (If there's an idea you love, feel free to post it again.)

Post as many prompts as you like, but please number them or leave sufficient space between them so it's easy to tell they're separate prompts.

eta Banners can be found Here.

It's a Fest! A McShep Romance Fest! Yes, we're doing it again.

Looking for that Happy Ending for John and Rodney? Feeling that urge to write that Happy Ever After story for our guys but just need a little incentive? Maybe you've found that perfect piece of McShep art and want to share.

Boy, have we got a Fest for you right here at romancingmcshep

We know the road to love and happy endings can be a rocky one, full of danger and angst. And we know our guys are more target practice and computer code than hearts and flowers. ( That's part of why we love them after all)

No matter how they get there, in the end we want them to be happy together and that's what this fest is all about.
In fact, that's the only requirement to the fest. A happy ending.


Relax, posting runs from February 14th to February's end. Plenty of time. I just like to give a few weeks notice in case anyone has plans for a longer story.

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. More about that later.


Questions? Ask away. Pimping? Please do. No niffy banners for pimping as of yet. Any volunteers? Yes, shameless begging is completely allowed.

Rules? We'll be following a similar format as previous years. Just as soon as I find last year's rules and dust them off.

Suggestions? Sure! Leave them in the comments to this post along with any questions you may have.
