The alphabet is something everyone is familiar with (at least we hope so, lol) so why not sparky-fy it, after all everything needs to be sparked at least once, lol. We've already sparkyfied a year so this should be a piece of cake compared to that and I think we'll do brilliantly with it!

Anyway, I propose that we write a fic for each letter of the alphabet, that's 26 stories starting from A and ending with Z. The title has to match the letter you are covering. Some letters are going to be harder than others, but I think that's the fun part *grin*. The best part about this is you can do what you want, the fic can be a one-shot, a multi-chapter, hell, it could be novel length if you wanted it to. It doesn't matter as long as it's a story and as long as it's spark. That means any genre and rating as well.

RULES

1) The stories must be posted alphabetically. It means we'll have to communicate with the person assigned the letter after ours so they know when they can post and so on. No exceptions! However, multichapters can be updated later, as long as the first chapter is up.

2) The title has to be one word.

3) It has to be SPARKY! Other ships can be involved but Sparky has to be the main focus (that one's kinda obvious huh?).

4) Each fic or first chapter of multi-chapter must be posted within two weeks of each other.

5) All fics must be completed before the end of year if it's a multi-chapter.

6) Letters can be traded between Sparks as long as you let me know so I can change the author list.

Spark-a-bet will start in Feb, so everyone has a month off (we deserve it after YOTS) before we begin. All I need to know is... who wants in?

Me and Hannah have already signed up. In fact, Hannah is going to start us off with 'A', and will also show the layout for the fics. If you do want in all you have to do is reply and say if you want to cover one letter or wouldn't mind a few.

All letters will be assigned on the 15th of January...I'm drawing them out of a hat (apart from 'A' obviously and 'Z').

Here's a website that I thought might help us:

http://phrontistery.info/a.html

It's a website listing unusual words, and the definitions, of each letter of the alphabet. It was my inspiration for this challenge, lol.

After Year of the Spark, I can totally do this! So I'm in. That website is really cool, too.

I'm totally in! I'm excited and will do whatever you pull from the hat :)

I'm in! After all, I really do need to flex the ol' corporeal processors and housing of non-corporeal sentience manifestation-ers . . . Brain cells!

I'm In - after a nice hiatus, the muse is kicking my backside to try and get it in gear!

I'm in as long as I can have the letter Z (it'll give me a lot of time to think of something...and by then my mocks will be out of the way!)

SGC

Yay! We have players, lol! This is going to be fun *claps happily*

Miss Mon - welcome to the forum. I'm glad my muse isn't the only one kicking some butt, lol. I look forward to reading your fics *smiles*

Crazy - Letter 'Z' is all yours hehe. I'm curious to see what you come up with *grins*.

That sounds great! I'm in as well. :)

I know we weren't planning on drawing the letters until the fifteenth but Steph and I got impatient and just drew them, the list has been posted above so check it out and make sure to check back regualarly in case anything changes. I will be posting the first letter in two weeks, don't worry the rest of you don't have to start until February, Steph will be posting the second letter toward the end of the month. You've all got three fics to write and plenty of time to write them.

Remember, communication is important, all letters must be posted in order and within two weeks of the previous letter.

Go forth and write!

Hannah and Steph - who will most likely be awake all night now.

*takes a look at list and cracks up in laughter* I knew you were good, really good but that good?! Wow! lol I've been thinking of asking you if I could have S because I have a short and sweet story lying around that I'm tempted to write but unfortunately never got around to...

Kuro - still laughing

Oh hey Miss Mon! we have a new player! cool :D

And ha i have Q! i think that'll be fun! and we have too many forums going at once....so much fun though lol. sparky rules!

Welcome to the forum, Miss Mon!

Kuro, that's really cool that you got 'S'. I have 'P' and 'R'. I think those will be easy. 'F' will be an interesting one for me to do.

OK then, I got "J", "O", and "X". Luckily, I already got the titles all worked out . . .

Jareor

Omi

and X-TREME!!!!!!

Kuro, SGC, no giving away the bi-lingal bonus.

Cody, your titles are making me very curious now. Looking forward to reading your fics! I have not titles yet, but at least I've still got quite a bit of time.

I've found more new words from doing this than anything else. I'm in love with that website, lol, but there are some really strange words...I'm just glad I'll never have to say them out loud *grins*.

I've got three options for each of my letters and am going to regret staying up this late tommorrow hehe!

YES! I have Z!! lol Eventhough Steph already said I could have it...*is happy*

I know JUST the word I'm using...hehe

SGC

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all buzzing with ideas, it's been a little quiet on here, hope that means you're all busy writing lol. I've finished all of my sparkabet fics lol, all five of them are done and waiting to be posted when their times come. Now I must go work on my own two fics and maybe start work on my spark-a-movie fics as well *gets excited* all the ideas!!!

*sends hugs, cookies and inspiration to all*

Hannah

You've finished all five of you sparkabet fics??? My gosh, Hannah! That's really awesome. I wish I could do that.

*takes inspiration* I hope this helps. :)

Saphire

(Steph7085)

Saphire you should see her in action. I've never seen anyone type like Hannah, even professionals don't go as quickly. And you know what, they're all awesome! Seriously, every single fic is just...brilliant (don't try to deny it Hannah!).

*takes some inspiration as well*

If anyone sees my muse hiding anywhere, please tell me. She ran off the other day and hasn't come back...grr, lol.

Steph - who is staring at a blank word document.

hi

i've got 2 non spark-a-bet stories written and 2 of the spark-a-bet ones written as well as having started about 4 others (including the spark-a-movie ones), however i am in need of a beta reader to look over them before i even think about posting them. anyone interested?

Miss Mon - I'll look them over for you if you want, but I am a terrible beta, lol. I don't even check my own stuff :) I don't mind being a sounding board though.

Steph x

thanks steph. where did you want me to email them? Mon

My email is on my profile page :)

*offers self up if there's need for a back up*

thank you both. once my head (and liver) are slightly more recovered i'll email it through to you steph

A fic is now up and finished, roll on B fic, yes Steph that's you.

Yes, thank you for that reminder Hannah *rolls eyes*. I know full well it's me, lol!

Just making sure, youre a little dozy this morning. :D

No I am not! I'm perfectly fine *huffs*. Just distracted by JC fic...

Ok, B is nearly finished and will be up at some point before monday, depending on when I finish it obviously, lol. Miss Mon, I'm going to beta and send your stuff back to you by this weekend. Sorry for taking so long.

Thanks Steph.

Hopefully posting some sparky will be something to do this weekend.

Mon

B is up *parties*, so C is due on the 23rd.

Steph x

Hey guys! C is posted, finally. sorry it wasnt up earlier. i'm sure ff.net wasn't letting anyone log in earlier. But D is now due soone! :)

love ya'll

Just seen about this. Would be interested in joining in if you want me back? But will have to wait till I got some time on my hands, my weekends are filled with conventions at the moment, and I’m only just finding time to write my own.

On a side note: Still eagerly waiting for second part of B ;).

D is posted, E is up!

Wormhole, the letters have already been drawn but if someone wants to give you one of their's then that's fine. I'd give one of mine but I've already written them all but please only take one up if you're gonna have the time to do it. I really would prefer not to have a repeat of YotS, people not posting their parts. Hope that didn't sound mean.

Love you all!... Lots!

Hannah

(Hannah)

Steph hasn't been able to write a fic for E and won't be able to anytime soon so I've written something instead. It's posted so whoever has F, you're up.

F fic is overdue, Saphire I think that was one of your letters, if you can't do it please let me know so I can cover it.

You're right, F is my letter. I'm so sorry! I know I shouldn't give excuses but I had an AP exam to study for and just a lot of work for school. But I do have time now. I can do it and I'll have it up soon I promise! School is almost over and during the summer I should have lots of time to write so I'm planning on doing my other two letters as soon as possible so I can have those ready. Again, I'm so sorry and I will have it up soon!

Don't worry about it Saphire, I just wanted to make sure it was going to get done at some point. Everyone seems to be busy at the moment, myself included, I'm not updating as often as I would like. Hopefully with the summer coming up people will have some more free time on their hands.

So I've got an idea and know what I want to write, so it will for sure be done and up this weekend. I guess everyone is really busy right now. But I am officially done with school in 6 days! Though I do have to help out with graduation. But once summer comes, I will have plenty of time to write.

So 'F' is up. It's actually been up for almost a week now, so I'm sorry not to have gotten on here earlier. I believe that 'G' is Miss Mon.

Ok everyone, 'G' is up. I think that Kuro is up next with 'H'

H is due, Kuro I think that's you. If you can't do it please let me know so I can sort something out.

I know I'm very sorry. I tried to get it done till today but it was all just a little bit too crazy. I will be gone over the weekend but it should be up by Monday. I'm very sorry for the delay!

(Hannah554)

Steph won't be doing spark-a-bet anymore. I already covered E for her and I've written a fic for I. I'm gonna have to figure something out for B but can anyone else take one of her letters so that I won't have to do them all?

I really don't want to seem like a pest but H still isn't up and I'm guessing no one is able to take on any of Steph's letters. If you can please let me know, I really don't want to have to do them all myself but I will if no one has the time.

Kuro has posted her fic for H and I've covered I for Steph so it's J now, Cody you're up.

Regarding Steph letters. I thought about it and went through the list of words and I think I can write a fic for M. Then you don't have to do them all Hannah.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kuro!!!.

I was just about to start looking up words I can use for Stephs letters so having one taken off my back is a real help. I still have to finish B for her yet, I have no idea how I'm going to do that but I'm sure I'll figure something out somehow.

I believe V is one of Steph's that you've taken over Hannah? I will take that one.
