Angst vs Schmoop Challenge: Angst

[spikedluv]

From the way the sign-ups have gone so far, I think there might be an issue filling up Team Angst. I get it, because I certainly don't want to write the boys in angsty situations. I love the idea of them living happily ever after.

But since I need to encourage people to sign up for Team Angst, I wanted to mention that you do not have to write a dark or completely unhappy fic to fulfill the requirements of angst. As long as there is angst somewhere in your fic (the boys have their first fight, a misunderstanding where Zach thinks Shaun is seeing someone else, etc), and you've made us feel their pain, giving us a happy ending doesn't negate that.

Not to say that you're not welcome to write a complete angst fest if you want to.

So, with that in mind, anyone want to sign up for Team Angst now? *g*
