baby, it's cold outside

[foxxcub]

harlequin_bands has slowed down considerably, so I started thinking about more prompts, only to realize I have two whole books full of Christmas-themed romance stories. And then I remembered one of my favorite ones, which is:

When perky Chicago weather girl Marisa Langley gets stuck in the cold with her survivalist camera man, Rob Sheridan, she can't begin to forecast just how steamy it can get between the two of them...

THIS STORY IS THE BEST, OKAY? She has to do the weather on Christmas Eve on top of the news building, only they get locked outside, and it's snowing really hard, and uuuugh. The camera guy is all grumpy and sullen, and then you learn that he secretly has the hots for the weather girl (duh). PLEASE HELP ME PICK A PAIRING FOR THIS SCENARIO. I'm leaning toward Brendon/Spencer, but I can't deciiiiiide.

OH GOD, AND THEN THIS ONE:

Josh Black is so in love with his friend Cassidy that he writes her into his cartoon strip, making Cassidy think he's fallen for another woman. Can two confirmed "friends" unwrap their true feelings in time to share a night of unforgettable holiday passion?

I don't write a lot of Frank/Gerard, but I WOULD WRITE THE SHIT OUT OF THEM FOR THIS STORY. Y/Y/MFY??

Sadly, the rest of the stories in these books aren't that awesome. But if anyone wants to hear them, ask away! I will gladly spam you. :D

Oh, whoops, someone typed up a bunch of new prompts for us, let me go get them. :(

BRENDON SPENCER BRENDON SPENCER BRENDON SPENCER. Ahem. Sorry.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

She already did it?? That was fast!

I WAS ORIGINALLY THINKING BRENDON/JON, BUT BRENDON/SPENCER MAKES MORE SENSE IN MY HEAD. THE DUDE IN THE STORY IS VERY, VERY PRACTICAL.

[seimaisin.livejournal.com]

Spam me! After NaNo, I totally want to go back to writing more fanfic. But something that would be slightly less epic than the one I'm still editing. And I still need to write something for harlequin_bands!

Oh, and the weathergirl is obviously Brendon, but ... I don't know, grumpy and sullen obviously screams Spencer, but there's also a part of me that would be absolutely amused at survivalist!Jon.

*spams*

Dressed as a sidewalk Santa, undercover cop Corinne mistakes Tony Danielson for a purse snatcher. What Tony sees is a beautiful, lonely workaholic, and he'd love to take her out of disguise and help her slip into something a little more comfortable...

or

Showing up naked in Tyler's bed has more to do with Karen's rotten luck and bad sense of direction than actual intent. But Tyler's sure she's right where she belongs, and he's got one Christmas snowstorm to prove it to her...

or

What Booker Dean wants for Christmas isn't under the tree, it's right next door. Frances Kennedy is everything Booker desires...and the gift he has planned for her involves a lot of delicious unwrapping...

[LOL]

[eleanor-lavish.livejournal.com]

Pete/Patrick would work for the first one, with Patrick as the sullen cameraman! Also Frank/Bob. Also Gerard/Brian. Also... god, a lot of pairings here. Though i think Singer/Johnson wins FOR THE LULZ.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

But the weather girl is so, so Brendon, you don't even know. Her whole ~issue is that she's compulsively optimistic.

[vixalicious]

OMG, please Brendon/Spencer! Brendon would be the perkiest weather girl ever!!!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

It reads like girl!Brendon, practically!

[sunsetmog.livejournal.com]

I have been telling anyone who will listen that I want to write a holiday themed harlequin bands fic. Finding the time is another thing entirely, but reading other people's is going to be AMAZING. I thoroughly back a panic pairing for the first one. And I really, really want to read the second one. I'm such a sucker for Christmas romance stories, I really am. :DD

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I've read the weather girl story a million times, mostly because it's short and super cute and sexy. I LOVE Christmas romance stories SO MUCH. You still write oooooooone. *puppy eyes*

[iamiamamachine.livejournal.com]

i vote brendon/spencer \o/

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Hee, okay!

[r1cepudding.livejournal.com]

I love holiday romance novels! My favourite is this Mills & Boon where this chick randomly decudes she's not going to date anymore, and therefore moves to Alaska on an exchange with her work (IDK) and the house she lives in is right next door to this super-sexy single dad, right, and they're all, OUR LOVE CANNOT BE, because she's not dating and he's never going to leave Alaska on account of that where his son's mom lives and he doesn't want the kid to have a family split across the country.

Except then all this ludicrous stuff happens, like she triest o fix her roof in the snow with like a fork and some tape, and he sees and comes to help her and then they jump off the roof into a snowdrift together. Also there's a part in a hot tub, and then she gets lost in her own backyard because there's like a snowstorm, only sexy single dad from next door comes to find her with his nineteen dogs, and then he takes her in and warms her by the fire with his penis.

Then she has to leave! At Christmas! And it's so sad! BUT THEN HE COMES TO FIND HER ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. IT IS AMAZING.

[r1cepudding.livejournal.com]

P.S. GIMME THAT CARTOON STRIP STORY OMGGGG OTP.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

IT DOES, BUT BRENDON/SPENCER IS BETTER, IMO.

I've spammed several people with summaries so far, LOL, so I'd check the comments. But here's another one:

When sexy pediatrician Matthre Carlton plays Santa, pulling Faith Roberts on his lap, he has no idea what's on her Christmas wish list...or how much he'll enjoy fulfilling every bit of it...

[snarkaddict.livejournal.com]

LOL! I dunno. Brendon/Jon could work but Jon isn't very grumpy and sullen though. So Spencer/Brendon it is!

AND Y/Y/MFY FOR FRANK/GERARD! I WOULD READ THE SHIT OUT OF THAT STORY! :DDDDDDDD

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I MAY END UP WRITING BOTH, IDK.

[danacias.livejournal.com]

*raises hand* I want to hear them! It wouldwarm my heart on this cold, cold morning!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Successful model Bella Jacksom may look steamy on covers, but under them, she's a total novice. What she needs is someone who can make her feel the way she looks. And hunky Texan Jake Barton seems exactly what she needs in her Christmas stocking...

OR HOW 'BOUT:

The one thing brand-new yacht captain Burke Morgan didn't need is a last minute replacement cook who also suffers from motion sickness. But once he sees luscious Kamala Apolo, he's got a perfect idea for getting her body in sync with the rhythm of the water...

[siryn99.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE RIDICULOUS AND AMAZING.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

WELL, I TRY. ♥

[crowgirl13.livejournal.com]

I WILL READ THE SHIT OUT THAT CARTOON STRIP STORY! PLZ WRITE FAILY FRANK/GERARD! PLEEEAAAASSSEEEE!

I will beg on my hands and knees even.
[That's me, voting for MFY, in case you wondered. ]

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I WILL SURE TRY, even though writing Frank/Gerard intimidates the hell out of me. ♥

[elucreh.livejournal.com]

NONONO, JON/BRENDON. JON/BRENDON!!!

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

You are wrong and you should feel bad. :(

♥

[prettykitty-aya.livejournal.com]

i have to say that my first thought was jon/brendon, BUT I WOULD READ IT WITH SPENCER/BRENDON, TOO.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Jon/Brendon seems to be the consensus!

[wildestranger.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, please write these, both of them. I would pay you with Brendon as a disgraced governess fic, um, whatever you wanted.

The world would be a better place if these fics existed. You wouldn't want to deprive the world, would you?

[harriet-vane.livejournal.com]

Iiiiiiiiiii want that!

[o4fuxache.livejournal.com]

PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU DID NOT JUMP TO JON/SPENCER FOR THE FIRST ONE IN 1.3 SECONDS. TELL ME THAT, PLEASE.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE THE WEATHER GIRL IS SO PERKY, SHE IS GIRL!BRENDON, OKAY?

[munkykiss.livejournal.com]

christmas prompts!!

i totally see spencer/brendon in the first one....give us moar!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

But I'm now convinced it's Jon/Brendon! *hands*

[trippypeas.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna have to say..Brendon/Spencer..Because I can totally see Brendon excited about "CHRISTMAS EVE! SNOW!! It's gonna be a white Christmas guys!" And Spencer's grumpy, he was gonna go home and snuggle his dogs and talk to Ryan on speaker phone and manfully not cry when he mom calls..

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

He's TOTALLY like that in the story--well, I mean, the girl is. This is why I refer to the girl as girl!Brendon, LOL.

[lyo.livejournal.com]

I keep picking up harlequin novels and looking at the backs of them and going "oh, that would make a great fic!"

I blame you, you realize.

Also, that first scenario is totally Brendon/Spencer. :D

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Dude, I do it ALL THE TIME and sometimes text them to siryn99. *obsessed*

[spindlelimbs.livejournal.com]

I CHOOSE BRENDON/SPENCER TOO!! (with a side Ryan/Jon? maybe?) XD
oh and I'd love to hear other stories if you don't mind!

AND DID YOU SEE? DID YOU SEE? (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z160/boyziconposts/patd/msg-122741001775.jpg)

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Check the comments, I've posted all the ones I had! :)

(And yes, I saw, thanks for the heads up, though!)

[jencendiary.livejournal.com]

Quite obviously, the "survivalist camera man" is Andrew John Hurley.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

Andy/Brendon would totally break my brain, though. D:

[adorkable37.livejournal.com]

BRENDON/SPENCER YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! ALSO OMG I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING FOR SOMEONE TO WRITE THAT FRANK/GERARD <3333333

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO BOTH.

[airgiodslv.livejournal.com]

Perky Brendon, grumpy survavalist Spencer? I...would read that.

Frank and Gerard!!! ♥

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I am so going to try to write both, omg. It might possibly kill me, but I WANT THEM BOTH SO BAD OKAY.

[belle-bing.livejournal.com]

What I would like to know is why no one has tapped the lucrative fic well of Mills and Boon Medical Romances.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

bexless mentioned those, but I am unfamiliar with them!
