Author: trickylady
Artist: vassalady
Fandom: MCU - Avengers + The Amazing Spiderman
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Steve/Bucky, Bruce/Natasha/Tony, Thor/Loki/Peter Parker, Sam Wilson, Clint Barton, Pietro & Wanda Maximoff, Nick Fury, Jarvis, Alexander Pierce
Rating: R~ish
Summary: Maze Runner AU involving a lot more complications than just a camp full of mostly men. Steve is a bisexual ex-army soldier with an incredible ability for leadership; Tony is a bisexual scientist who prefers wires to blood and veins (with the exception of Natasha and Bruce); Bucky is demi-sexual because of PTSD and traumas from the military, and only remembers Steve from his past life. The rest can do things they can't explain, but choose to only use it against threats. The Maze is a monstrosity for all of them, though they have each other to make it tolerable.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, nothing at all.
Warnings: canon-typical violence, aggression, minor & temporary character death, PTSD, psychological manipulation, co-dependency

Characters & Relationships: Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers/Bucky/Barnes, Tony Stark/Jim Rhodes, Pepper Potts/Natasha Romanov, slight Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson
Word Count: 10,018
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Content Notes: College AU, Modern AU, Established Relationship, Tattoo Artist Steve, Law Student Peggy, War Vet Bucky, College Professor Tony, Business Student Pepper, Offscreen Romance, Someone Gets Married And It’s Not Steve, Tony is a Little Shit, Pepper is So Done
Summary: That Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter are a disgustingly happy couple is common knowledge. It’s not like they’re discreet about walking around together, hand in hand, looking for all the world like they have eyes only for each other. But when Steve turns up one day with a tall, handsome stranger, Tony Stark can’t help but notice. And point it out to everyone in the vicinity. And then proceed to grate everyone’s nerves for the next week as he refuses to shut up about it. In his defense, it does look pretty suspicious. And despite Rhodey and Pepper’s protests, he’s going to get to the bottom of it if it kills him.

Title: Going Off the deep end
Author: gala_apples
Artist: alyacta
Fandom: Achievement Hunter
Characters & Relationships: Michael Jones/Gavin Free/Ryan Haywood, Michael/Gavin/Ryan/Ray Narvaez, brief Michael/Lindsay Tuggey, background Gavin/Geoff Ramsey. Pre-ot6.
Word Count: 36044
Rating: nc17
Warnings/Content Notes: Everyone's above the age of consent, but there are some high school/college relationships. Homophobia. A physical fight. Some victim blaming. Non-con magical curses leading to non-con kissing.
Summary: Michael’s pretty happy with his life choices. Dating a journeyman magician? Cool. Dating a college student? Excellent. Dating both of them at the same time, coming out, and getting thrown from the house? Great.

The problem is when Michael gets hexed. In that one moment all his choices get taken away from him. That? Not fantastic.

Title: pactum cum lupis
Author: ladyoneill
Artist: reena_jenkins
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Relationship(s)/Characters: Girl Stiles/Peter, Girl Stiles/Derek, Sheriff, Scott, Talia, Cora, OFC
Word Count: 24,261
Rating: NC17
Content Notes/Warnings: underage, AU, noncon/dubcon, forced mating
Summary: In a world where the supernatural is known and most of it is very dangerous, human enclaves made mutually advantageous pacts with stable and more benevolent werewolf packs. The humans received protection in exchange for one girl every twenty years to bear werewolf babies as fewer and fewer wolves are able to do so. In Beacon Hills, Stiles Stilinski is sixteen and the twenty year wait for the Hale Pack is over. Devastated by a fire, they need born wolves, and Talia Hale is determined her son, Derek, will produce the next Alpha after her daughter, Laura. Stiles is perfect for him. Except, Derek is broken and doesn't want a mate, and pretty much ignores her. Meanwhile, Talia's brother, Peter, is all too willing to keep the young human girl company, as they are both intelligent and strong-willed and get along way too easily.
Disclaimer: I don't own Derek, Stiles, Peter or anyone else on Teen Wolf or the show itself. I do own Daphne.
A/N: The noncon/dubcon is between Derek and Stiles because they have to have sex and neither wants to; that changes. Stiles is underage but this is acceptable in this darker world. I want to thank my artist, reena_jenkins, for her wonderful art and suggestions to expand the fic, especially the chocolate cake scene. It was her idea to use Ellen Page as girl Stiles and I heartily approve. Please see the fic for more notes.

Title: Traditionally
Author: dazzledfirestar
Artist: clex_monkie89
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe/Agents of SHIELD/Agent Carter
Characters & Relationships: Peggy Carter/Steve Rogers/Gabe Jones, background Peggy/Gabe/Howard/Maria, Nick Fury/Phil Coulson/Melinda May, (background poly web including Maria Hill, Victoria Hand, Bobbi Morse, Jasper Sitwell), background Nick Fury/Steve Rogers, Skye/Antione Triplett/Jemma Simmons
Word Count: 18549
Rating: M
Warnings/Content Notes: Violence, canon temporary character death (Steve & Phil), period-typical racism, period-typical sexism, interracial relationships, post-Captain America: the Winter Soldier, not Agents of SHIELD season 2 compliant.
Summary: SHIELD has always asked a lot from its elite. From the very beginning, they've made sacrifices to keep the world safe from threats the world isn't ready to deal with. And that's why there has always been some leniency in their fraternization policies. Because when the weight of the world is on your shoulders, it helps to have people you love and trust as close as they can be. And when SHIELD falls, it seems that some traditions are worth carrying over to the next generation of protectors.

Title: United, Bound, Pack: Finding a Place
Author: pairatime
Artist: reena_jenkins
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slyer
Relationship(s)/Characters: The Pack: Xander/Kyle/Rhonda/Tor/Heidi, Kyle/Rhonda and Xander/Tor
Word Count: 10,402
Rating: PG-13
Content Notes/Warnings: Not sure of anything that needs to be warned for. Not much to say other the they are teenagers and I tried to keep that in mind so they’re a bit randy at times but not much more then the show itself I feel.
Summary: They’re friends now. No one at school gets it but they are. And sometimes that means hanging out together. Doing homework in the back hard, going to the big match to support Tor and the team and everything else. But at the same time they’re more then friends, they’re Pack but between the dog piles, empathic link and hair petting they really haven’t even started to figure out what that really means. But they’re starting to.
Author's Notes: I’d love to just thank reena_jenkinsfor the wonderful art work. It really is just the coolest.

Hey! Just letting you know that claims are now open for multiples by the same artist -- as in, if you are an artist and you've already claimed a story to work with, but there's another one you like and you're confident you can do everything you're claiming, you can go ahead and claim it :)

I feel like that was a long, run on sentence, but it probably got my point across.

There are still a slew of fantastic stories available, if you're on the fence about trying your hand. Let me know if you have questions!

Summaries are here!

Claiming can go here!

CLAIMS ARE NOW OPEN

At this point, just one claim per person, please. If we have remaining summaries, we'll open it up for multiple claims in few days.

Artists, use this copy and paste form to make your claim:

<strong>Username:</strong> <strong>1st Choice #:</strong> <strong>2nd Choice #:</strong>

Proxies, use this copy and paste form to make a claim for your bud (and thanks for your help!):
<strong>THIS IS A PROXY CLAIM</strong> <strong>Artist Username:</strong> <strong>1st Choice #:</strong> <strong>2nd Choice #:</strong>

SUMMARIES

Mirrored post on Dreamwidth.

OHEMGEE. It's very nearly artist claim time, which is basically one of my favourite days of the year. There are a few outstanding summaries (well like, they're all very clearly outstanding, but I meant they haven't been turned in yet) for a few people who have extensions, so if we get any stragglers, I'll add them on to the bottom of the post so as to not mess up the carefully ordered numbers (spoiler alert, they're in numerical order!).

Artists: peruse at your leisure, and set up a proxy claimer if you won't be around for the opening of claims and you see something you cannot live without and don't want to run the risk of losing out on. Claims are first come, first serve, and we won't double up on claims (read: more than one artist making art for 1 story) unless/until all the stories are claimed once. There's going to be a separate post for claims (take a peek at previous rounds for an idea as to how it looks, if you're unclear).

Authors: if something is wrong with your summary/info, or you submitted it and yours is missing, let me know ASAP so I can fix.

Without further ado...

( Round Six SummariesCollapse )

It's that time again. :D

WHAT?: Rough drafts and summaries for artists are DUE. Also to be included is the following information (no, no titles needed at this point in time): Author: Fandom: Characters & Relationships: Rating: Warnings & Content Notes: Summary:

WHEN?: 12th November, 2014, midnight, your local time. Earlier is always acceptable, but if you're going to be later, email or PM the mod ASAP for further instructions.

WHERE?: Email your draft as an attachment or a link to an unlocked Google Drive/Google Docs file to polybbmods@gmail.com. Do not paste your entire draft into the body of an email and send it.

WHY?: Because Sexy Round Six is going to be awesome and you so want in on it.

When you have sent in your draft, you will get an email back once it's been checked over and there are no further questions from me.

SO ARTISTS. Hi. How you doin'? You all look nice today. You can expect to see the preview page of summaries up on 13th November (probably evening times, EST), and claims will be opening Saturday, 15th November, 3pm EST (GMT -5).

It is not too late to sign up as an artist, and hey, if you can put together a fic draft that you're proud of and confident in to send in on 12th November, more power to you and you're totally not too late to sign up either <3

Questions? Leave 'em here!

Second author check in!

Only 23 days left until drafts are due. Just a reminder that you need 8,000 words to qualify, as well as a summary that will make artists sit up and take get all excited about your stuff. If you're anything like me, you will need to get thinking about that summary. Ugh, summaries. Titles not required though, so... maybe it'll be okay? ;)

<strong>Username:</strong> <strong>Fandom:</strong> <strong>Current Word Count:</strong> <strong>I feel ______ about my story:</strong> <strong>Snippet:</strong>

Questions and comments always welcome! Hope everyone's drafts are shaping up, but don't worry if they're not. It's still more than possible to write up something kick ass. I have faith in everyone <3
