Birch '04: Write a 'first time' story. Now in the slash genre, this usually means when the fellers first get together as lovers, howsomever, for me, any first time will do. I *love* first time slash stories - to me those are so romantic (I'm a sucker for that!) but any first time experience for your pair/trio/or more...is fine. This will blend well with an earlier challenge on established couples moving in together...so it could be a first time they do something together in their new abode.

Birch '05: Make the setting central to your story. I don't care if it's inside or out of doors, seasonal, local or foreign climes - just spend a bit of time helping us to really *see* and *feel* where we and the boys are - and bonus points for making the place pivotal to the plot.

Birch '06: Write a story that deals with the aftermath of Christmas/the holiday season. It could be nice and easy, drinking leftover eggnog and trashing wrapping paper, laughing over the gag gifts and lovingly packing ornaments away. It could be hard, dark or stressful, coping with a job that kept loved ones away from each other. It could be emotional - maybe some of our boys really hate the season, or really hate seeing the season *go*.
