Challenge #25: Bad Fic

[jigofspite.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's the deadline, guys. Challenge # 24: Anniversaries is up. The link to the challenges in the memories is here, though there are no entries there yet aside from the prompt. But I'm looking at all of you for late posts, especially all of you who blamed poor, innocent Larry for your belatedness. Yes, you. Hee. Anyway...

The next challenge is brought to you by the lovely inklingfair. After the great discussion we (the fandom) had in clandestine269's post about likes and dislikes in a fic, she suggested that for April Fools we have a Bad Fic theme. It can function in two ways: To get those who don't post a lot to post (hopefully) and also to serve as a sort of What Not To Do in a U2 Slash fic. As she said, "I don't mean crack, I mean purposefully badly-written fic. This could be in terms of plot, dialogue, characterization, style, etc." Feel free to use Clandestine's post and comments as a tool if you like. I'm looking forward to some hilarious posts.

Your deadline for this challenge is 1159pm PST on Monday April 9th. And, as always, any suggestions or comments can be emailed to me. I've disabled the automatic LJ forwarding due to spam, but it's the same address as before, only at gmail instead of livejournal.

For challenge #24

Title: Crystal Anniversary
Author: Clandestine
Pairing: Adam/Bono with a slice of Larry/Edge
Rating: PG-13
Beta: pop_daisy
Disclaimer: I don't own U2, I don't know U2. This is strictly fiction.
Archive: u2slash, others please ask.
Author's notes: A short PWP, written very quickly for the Anniversaries challenge at u2slash. In my journal, I asked for a pairing, an era and a quote for inspiration, and inklingfair gave me ZooTV and this quote by The Edge: "We are all married to each other. Bono and Adam are married, and me and Larry." Again, pop_daisy did an amazing, last-minute beta and any remaining mistakes are entirely mine. Please read and remember that I live for feedback.
