Sometimes someone get the idea for a story that we feel everyone might like to participate in, so we offer it as a challenge. Challenges are usually simple and include a few things that must/should be included in your story.

If you'd like to issue a challenge then please contact me.  All challenges will be posted to the Nathan and Kristin mailing list unless otherwise specified. When submitting a challenge, please include your name and email addy so people can contact you regarding the challenge if need be.

Okay, technically this isn't a challenge but, On the Nathan and Kristin Mailing List there has been talk of What would happen if Carol was alive and came back to cause problems for Nathan and Kristin?  So if you have a story idea along these lines write it up and send it to us :o)

   I thought I'd throw some challenges out to the list, just to get those creative juices flowing and jump start the plot bunnies.  Here are a few that were posted on one of my other lists and I thought could work for N/K so here they are:
 
 

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) :) is to write a story (whatever rating) where Nathan and Kristin make love in some place unusual. It can be anywhere, just not the obvious--a bed at home or on the  seaQuest (Can be anywhere else on the ship, just not in bed [evil grin].
 
 

It's very simple and includes two things... sex and candy. Write a story were the love scene, now this can be NC-17 for those more adventuous souls on our list, or just implied but the main point is that some type of candy has to have a major part in the love scene. That's it people, let's get those  creative ideas flowing :o)  (Me thinks we could expand the Gummy Worm scene, heh Becky [grin]) Please post any ratings higher than PG to the adult list
 
 

Okay here is something for you to think about:

It's  after Nathan and Kristin's first date or first night spent together. Kristin and Katie  meet for a late lunch. Just what and how much will Kristin tell her?
 
 

Write a story about what might have happened or could have happened if Nathan and Kristin had met at some point while he was still married to Carol.

Well, I hope we have some takers.  I've got some ideas for a couple of these.  [grin]
 
 

    -Mistletoe---- extra points if it's N/K kissing under the mistletoe
    -somebody spiking the punch
    -Kristin in one of those santa style dresses (you know...looks like a santa suit but it is a short dress)  and her singing---to Nathan (extra points if she gets him "hot and bothered") [evil grin]   Santa, Baby Lyrics
 
 

Pick any song from the soundtrack page and use the lyrics in a story or build a story around the lyrics.
 
 

Use these in a story: A candy heart, hot air balloon, cartoon character, strip tease,
                               alarm clock.
 
 

Build a story around one of the following themes or lines:

 -The mud and water cascaded down around her, swallowing the very air.

 -"Fine," she snapped, "no more sex."
 -He used his fingertips to softly stroke the contours of his true love's face, taking care not to wake her.

-"I will NEVER surrender!" he shouted and fell to his knees.
 
 

I thought we could use a humorous one... :o)  build a story around the Irish Rovers song "Wasn't That A Party"  If you need the lyrics, please email me.
 
 

Write a story where Nathan and/or Kristin kill each other.
Is it a virulent disease and Nathan kills Kristin in self-defence? Does the disease take over and Kristin kills Nathan because she's insane? Of course, it doesn't have to involve a disease,  it could be an accident, deliberate, jealous rage, an evil twin...and yes you can even use the Dallas "it's all a nightmare". You decide all options are open
 
 

Your story must have something to do with one or more of the traditions involved with St.Patrick's Day.

Have fun  :o)

The Christmas season is fast approaching and I figured it was time to post the annual challenge.  The deadline for entries will be Dec 23 and can be posted to either the General or Adult list, or both.  So get your thinking caps on  :o)  The Challenge must have only Nathan and Kristin but other characters can be mentioned in passing. It must also have one, more or all of the following:

1. Mistletoe

2. mulled wine or hot spiced apple cider

3. snow  (gotta get them out of the heat and sunshine this year <grin>)

 4.  Nathan on the roof

5.    a straw

6,    tinsel

7.   Nathan and Kristin roasting chestnuts themselves or roasted chestnuts they've purchased somewhere

8.     a game of truth or dare

9. Trimming the tree.

Your story MUST contain the following lines

"If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun."  (originally spoken by the great Katherine Hepburn BTW)
AND  "Don't even bother to explain, it'll only make it worse."

Those two lines must have something to do with Nathan and Kristin and the rest of the story must contain ONE or MORE  of the following:

Chocolate--any shape or form
Satin sheets
Yellow Roses
A teddy bear
and a toothbrush

And : inquireing minds want to know..  Is Nathan a boxer or briefs man? You decide :o)
 
 

Your task is to take Nathan and Kristin , and anyone else from seaQuest and put them in the era of Pearl Harbor.  Write them as though they lived in that time and not the time period where seaQuest is set.

The characters.. should have the same personalities and basic backgrounds and should interact as they would on seaQuest. So Nathan would be a Captain in the Navy and Kristin would be a Doctor but there are some small things to remember that since it is 1941.. Jonathan would *not* be Nathan's XO nor would Katie be Chief Engineer.

You can have Nathan and Kristin already in an established relationship, or meet just in the days before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The rest of the details are up to you.  :o)

I would be very interested to see what kind of stories we can get out of this.

A seaQuest launch with 5 people including N/K has to find somewhere to
beach for repairs and accidentally find the island from Jurassic Park.

In this challenge you have to tell us what would happen if Kristin was assigned to the new seaQuest to work withWendy on a science project.
 
 

Okay this one is very simple. N &K are in the mood but something happens to
kill the mood or prevent them from continueing. <evil grin>

Okay, I know we've seen several  shows with episodes that deal with alternate
or parallel universes and I thought it would be interesting to see our fave couple in an alternate universe... .How are things different from the 'cannon universe' we know.
Also another twist could be  to see a mirror universe based on those done by Star Trek. For those that don't know ( if there are any on this list ) <grin> In the mirror universe everyone and everything is a mirror reflection of their selves in the other universe. People are cruel and sadistic etc, or those who are normal nice people are cruel in the
alternate universe and visa versa. So your mission is to write a N andK based on this mirror universe. Dig out the old Star Trek episode if you have to :o) (Mirror, Mirror)Another interesting twist to this could be that N & K are cruel and sadistic to the outside world but when they are together, alone they are like their counter parts.
 
 

I know I've already written a story thatdeals with this.. but I wouldn't mind seeing other scenarios on this subject.  So.. Nathan and Kristin... sneak off somewhere for a little nookie and get caught. How, when and by whom is up to you?
 
 

Okay...  Your story must involve Nathan and Kristin in some type of heat wave... can be on seaQuest, the island or at home. The story must also include them cooling down..or heating up <grin> in 'falling'  water: a shower , rain, or a waterfall. Must also include
either... ice cubes (bonus points if they are part of the 'cool down") and/or something cold and sticky.
 
 

The girls, Kristin, Katie, Janet and any other female friend ( Please no WS) have a girl's night out.  Must include.. A game of pool with the girls winning, the song "Man I Feel Like A Woman", one or all getting sloshed.  Extra points awarded if their significant others (ie Nathan, Bill.. Ben if you like) arrive at the same.. Bar, club what have you, and witness all or most of their antics and perhaps are dragged into
said antics.. ie pool game.
 
 

 Nathan and Kristin are involved in a party night where they all get a little  'smashed' and play a game of truth or dare... or spin the bottle... or twister... or some silly ass game that either gets them really close... or forces them to admit to their feelings.
