Posted on 23/11/2010 by Kris


The story prompts you chose for Tam’s story!


1. part of the setting – a toy *waggles eyebrows* workshop

2. some background to one of the main protags –

one of them is completely oblivious to attempts to get him under the mistletoe


3. another character/s –

a weekend motorcycle club whose bikes are all named after Santa’s reindeers


4. a conflict – *deep breath*

finally engaged to the so-called woman of his dreams, one of the main protags finds himself left holding the baby after he discovers he was drugged and seduced by a former colleague at last year’s Christmas office party *gasp* who was determined to have a child before her biological clock ran out but tragically died only months later leaving her gorgeous younger, gay brother and the main protag as joint guardians of the child… as long as they live together… *panting*


5. an object/phrase to be mentioned in the story somewhere –

the last line of the story has to be ‘And that’s how you put the ‘ho’ in ‘ho, ho, ho”. *This e) is brought to you by L B Gregg.*

maybe it’s me, but…

Posted on 21/11/2010 by Kris


Have you ever noticed how things seem to go in cycles in the book blogging community?

For example, one day everyone loves/hates {insert author, book, genre, something here} and the next day they hate/love it?

Swear to God, if I didn’t know any better I’d say everyone was on the rag together.

Posted on 17/11/2010 by Kris


So I took total advantage of our friendship and con-erm-vinced the awesomesauce Tam to write a choose your own m/m Christmas story.

Yeah, I rock.

And, yup, no one is safe. 😀

How to play:

Step 1. Peeps choose different elements to be included in a story.

Step 2. After counting the votes, I let you know the results and…

Step 3. Hand it over to Tam, who has agreed to produce the short story incorporating your choices just in time for Krissy! Yay me!

The story prompts:

1. part of the setting
a) a toy *waggles eyebrows* workshop
b) a bakery that specialises in Christmas goodies
c) a theatre staging a non-traditional Christmas play
d) the place where Santa sits in a shopping mall… whatever the hell that’s called

2. some background to one of the main protags
a) one of them has a pointy ear fetish

b) one of them is a twink who has always wanted to play Santa
c) one of them is completely oblivious to attempts to get him under the mistletoe
d) one of them is a Christmas extremist who is convinced that he is the secret love child of two of Santa’s elves

3. another character/s
a) a conspiracy theorist who believes that Santa is a vampire

b) Jack Skellington is the Ghost of Christmas Past… Present and Future *cos he fucking rocks*
c) a weekend motorcycle club whose bikes are all named after Santa’s reindeers
d) a Christmas bauble genie

4. a conflict
a) someone has kidnapped Rudolf

b) Santa and one of the elves have eloped and ‘Mrs’ Claus is inconsolable
c) the dreaded Christmas office party where every cliche imaginable seems to be happening, including the boss/secretary deal 😉
d)

finally engaged to the so-called woman of his dreams, one of the main protags finds himself left holding the baby after he discovers he was drugged and seduced by a former colleague at last year’s Christmas office party who was determined to have a child before her biological clock ran out but tragically died only months later leaving her gorgeous younger, gay brother and the main protag as joint guardians of the child… as long as they live together…

5. an object/phrase to be mentioned in the story somewhere
a) a group of women – as yet unnamed – who are fascinated by two boys kissing

b) ‘Every time a bell rings a Drag Queen gets her wings.’
c) a candy cane cock ring
d) ‘Vegemite is the 8th Wonder of the World.’
e) the last line of the story has to be ‘And that’s how you put the ‘ho’ in ‘ho, ho, ho”. *This e) is brought to you by L B Gregg.*

Feliks, one of the boy kittens, will be choosing the names out of the hat. Basically because I can’t stop him doing it anyways so we might as well have some fun with it.

your m/m story by jambrea jo jones

Posted on 13/11/2010 by Kris

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for…

*drum roll*

Your m/m story by Jambrea Jo Jones!

*crowd goes wild*

Do you remember what you chose? An abandoned stone tower… or is it…; one wishes the seven guys he lived with were more his type; a snarky side kick AND a talking wand; a dragon thinks the virgin hero would make a yummy meal; and, ‘Where the fuck is a Fairy Godmother when you need one?’.

Click on me.

Nothing like a fairy tale to make a gal happy.

And the fact it’s m/m? Pure win. 😀

Jambrea rocks!

*hehehe*
