    I'm a slash reader mostly and I want to know if Methos had been a girl, would MacLeod have gotten the fact that he wanted him faster?

Challenge:

    I am a big fan of the show charmed. I love to read
    fanfiction and have been looking for some stories about
    Phoebe and the new guy Cole Turner/Demon. I think they make
    a really good couple!!!! Strangely, I just can't find any
    stories at all! If someone would like to write some or at
    least let me know where some are I would really appreciate
    it!!!! Thanks!

Challenge:

    There are a lot of excellent Highlander/X-Files crossovers, where Mulder and Scully are both Immortal. However, one thing is never really addressed in them, how would the X-Files story line be different with Mulder and Scully as Immortals.
    I would like to purpose a new challenge: Mulder and Scully
    both become Immortals (either just before, or after
    Scully's cancer), they are trained by Duncan MacLeod and
    continue to investigate the X-Files. The challenge is to
    rewrite an X-Files episode, and set it in the Highlander
    universe, where Mulder and Scully are Immortal. How would
    the episode be different, being Immortal, neither one of
    them would end up in a hospital! Would they encounter evil
    Immortals all the time? Would Scully's family, or the Lone
    Gunmen, find out about their being Immortal? What about
    Cancerman, or the Conspiracy, how would they deal with an
    Immortal Mulder and Scully?
    All I ask is that, if anyone tries this challenge, to stay
    as close AS POSSIBLE to the X-Files story line, and have
    fun doing it!
    If anyone wants to give this a try, please e-mail me!

Challenge:

    my idea isn't so much a challenge as a cry for help; I'm
    stumped.
    In the story I'm writing, Methos is a Star Trek-like
    captain, with his own ship and his own set of problems.
    His wife who he hasn't see in 400 years is back, but it
    turns out she is the slave of one of the many hostile
    aliens Methos (Name: Capt. Alexander J. Deveraux), is
    encountering.
    That's as far as I've gotten. All suggestions would be
    helpful as I've been stewing over this for over a year now.
    Thanx.

Challenge:

    A cross-over between Highlander and the soap opera "General
    Hospital" that features the Cassadine family. The
    Cassadines were Russian royalty who were forced to flee
    their country many years ago and take up residence in
    Greece. It would be interesting if either Methos or Duncan
    assisted them in their escape. Which leads to present day
    Port Charles were the Immortals arrive to help the young
    Greek Prince Nikolas Cassadine escape the clutches of his
    wicked grandmother Helena.

Challenge:

    Please someone write a tale of Methos/Amanda. I think that it would have to be a NC17. After all, have there ever been two naughtier people? I don't know how they could resist each other really. I know there are a few stories out there but...more, more, more

E-mail address: suaine@hotmail.com

Challenge:

    I think there are millions of people out there loving
    Methos to death, right? And there is Cassandra, a character
    I would love to see more in Fan Fiction. The problem is
    just how in the world can we bring them together and settle
    the big issues between them? Okay, okay, now you think,
    bah, we had that a thousand times before. And here is the

    Challenge:

      Write a crossover story between Buffy the
      Vampire Slayer and Highlander, it has to contain Methos,
      Cassandra, Buffy and Spike, I want a lot of heartbreak
      (maybe a little physical harm, but nothing really serious)
      and bring them together at least, that means Buffy and
      Spike, what I consider the REAL challenge, and Methos and
      Cassandra. You might kill any other character if it pleases
      you. (But a funeral is NOT actually a good place for a
      first date). Let your imagination take charge.

Challenge:

    I would like to see a crossover with Robert Jordan's wheel of
    time, with Methos as the main character. Anything goes, but
    I think it would work better if it's set in the universe but
    doesn't involve the WoT. There not much leeway in those
    plots. Use your imagination. Gook Luck:)

Challenge:

    OK, I know a lot of people out there didn't really like
    HL:TR, but I think it had possibilities. And yes, I know
    that there have been a couple of stories that take up where
    DOA left off, but there aren't any where Nick and Amanda
    *didn't get back together. Immortals can hold grudges for
    a long time, and I can see Nick as the type who holds a
    grudge. He should meet some of the other HL characters.
    I'd love to see Methos and Joe, but I'd also like to see
    some of the minor characters like Robert and Gina. I'm
    working on one myself, but I'd like to see one by someone
    else too. Gen fic, please.

Challenge:

    X-over with Millennium/HL. Emma Hollis is told to find
    Frank and his daughter, Jordan. A lead takes her to
    Seacouver, where she finds out that Frank was a witness to a
    beheading, and a name he gave her was Adam Pierson. As she
    delves further into this mystery, her life is put in danger
    when to get to Frank, she must solve the murders. And to
    solve the murders - puts her in the path of the immortals
    and their deadly game.
    Wouldn't mind if there was a romance between her and Methos.

Challenge:

    I just saw episode number twelve of my favorite anime show,
    Trigun, which was entitled Diablo. I was just wondering if
    any Trigun/Highlander fanatics out there just might write a
    story involving both series, and I mention Diablo because
    we get to see Vash's dark side in this one. This made me
    wonder: what if someone wrote a more complete ending to
    this episode in which Duncan (who has also faced his own
    darkness) meets Vash and has a conversation with him? I just
    thought that that might be interesting. ^_^

E-mail address: deb_wiez@yahoo.com

Challenge:

    I noticed lately that there are very few fanfiction stories that have strong female characters. I don't know about you but I think the woman of Highlander are very powerful, I think that more stories should tell the lives of these immortals through the ages- especially very old ones like Cassandra or even Amanda.

    SOOOOOO here is my challenge: 
    Choose a female character- must be older then 1000, this character wants to challenge herself and show to the world and to herself that she can do anything- so she joins the army... I'll let you choose what part ( I would recommend the navy seals but then it would look to much like a G.I. Jane crossover-but do whatever you want) she gets in and of course has some trouble. she should be attacked by at least one immortal who has been after her for centuries, and of course there is the possibility of people she knows in the army finding out about her...

Challenge:

    I was watching the M.I.B. cartoon earlier and the new show
    Andromeda just now. In the second episode, one of the main
    characters came back from the dead. I thought "What if
    humans weren't the only Immortals in the Universe?" The
    Immortal M.I.B.'s could sense the Immortal aliens and
    vice-versa. The only thing is that alien and human
    Quickenings are not compatible. The only non-M.I.B.
    immortals that know about aliens are the Horsemen (if it's
    pre-4th season) and Cassandra. Zeist may be used but human
    Immortals came from Earth. Any rating may be used. One
    thing only--no slash. M/F situations can be used.

Challenge:

    I really liked the three stories posted to your site by
    Michael Weyer, which x-over Highlander/X-Files/Forever
    Knight. I would like to see more stories set in this
    universe, on June 14th, and July 23rd, I posted two
    possible story ideas. Here is one more. A Highlander/X-
    Files/J.A.G x-over.
    JAG lawyers Lt. Commander Rabb, and Lt. Colonel Sarah
    MacKenzie join with Immortal F.B.I. agents Mulder and
    Scully to investigate a strange killing at a Naval base.
    There they meet Rabb's old partner, Lt. Meg Austin, who is
    now an Immortal. Together, they face off against an evil
    Immortal who could possible trigger a major war. Also, Lt.
    Colonel MacKenzie discovers that she too, is an Immortal.
    I'll leave the details to anyone who wants to try it, if
    anyone does please e-mail me. Thank you.

Challenge:

    I've really enjoyed most of the Highlander/X-Files
    crossovers that have been written. However, I would really
    like to see one in which Mulder and Scully are both
    Immortal, but they do *not* get married, or otherwise
    romantically involved (in other words, a noromo). Another
    requirement for this story is that it does *not* crossover
    with Forever Knight or Star Trek. If you write one, please
    email me and let me know.

    OK, let's see... here is my challenge...

    What if Kronos was not really evil, but was the victim of a Dark Quickening? 

    Please let me know if any of you decide to write this... I would love to read it!



Name: Ailis Neftzer Friday, October 20th 2000 - 08:21:04 AM
E-mail address: ailisa@hotmail.com

Challenge:

    This is an idea I've had and mulled over for a really long
    time, but I don't feel particularly moved to write it, so
    maybe it will spark another author's interest.

    A crossover, Highlander the Series with the X-Files,
    starting from the point of view of the X-Files Mulder and
    Scully.
    Mulder and Scully get called to the Northwest on a case of
    mysterious meteorological phenomena: brief lightening
    prompting power outages and explosions. Such phenomena seem
    to occur often in conjunction with the appearance of the
    occasional decapitated body.
    As the investigation continues, Mulder begins to suspect
    that in _all_ instances beheading has taken place, only
    someone is snatching the headless bodies and disposing of
    them--but why? And who are these people at every level of
    government and seemingly on every street corner wearing the
    same suspicious tattoo and trying their best to frustrate
    this case?
    Enter the Watcher Organization, and Joe Dawson.
    The story would deal with the Watchers trying to avoid the
    two agents and yet still carry on watching, also with
    Duncan, et al. trying to avoid not only the Watchers but
    also the FBI.
    Use whatever characters you like, only be sure to make it
    good and dangerous for the Watchers.

    I would like to see a story with Connor and Duncan in the universe of the books from a series called "the photon series" of which the first book is entitled "Guardian of the Light" I believe it was written by David Peeters and continued by another author if any one has read the series please e-mail me to let me know I have lost my copies of it*S*

E-mail address: Xeyra_Dragonblade@excite.com

Challenge:

    I have another challenges, these far more easier, I think.
    Challenge 1: I have gone through the archives of stories
    and have, until now, only encountered ONE crossover with
    The Crow. I would like to see more. An Highlander/The Crow
    (the movie or the TV show). If you take this challenge,
    please do tell me what are your ideas and e-mail me with
    the title of the story if and/or once you finish it. I'd
    appreciate it.
    Challenge 2: A humorous fiction involving Sabrina the
    Teenager Witch. What if the Westbridge High School was
    graced with the presence of a very interesting History
    teacher, with a cute English/Welsh accent? Sort of Sabrina
    the Teenager Witch, guest starring Methos... ::smiles::
    What do you think?
    Challenge 3: A Matrix/Highlander Crossover (I wonder how
    that would be pulled).
    If I have more ideas on crossovers, I'll be sure to let you
    know. Please e-mail me if you choose to write any of these
    stories, just for me to know you took interest in them, and
    if possible, when you finish it, let me read it (or
    pinpoint me the location where it is posted)...



Name: Xeyra Tuesday, October 10th 2000 - 06:02:10 AM
E-mail address: Xeyra_Dragonblade@excite.com

Challenge:

    I have been battling with an idea that has come to me many
    times, an idea I tried to write about but ended up
    disappointed at my lack of fanfic writing skills. I gave up
    on the story but the main idea remained. And I want to
    challenge the wonderful authors around to dwell on these
    ideas. Now, to the subject at hand. We all know Methos
    claims everything before he took his first head 5000 years
    ago is a blur. He can't remember much of anything. Well,
    then... I have a question: What if the head Methos took
    5000 years ago was not his first one? Let us take it from
    there. Methos may be older than he thinks. How much of his
    past has he lost? Just this part already makes for a good
    story but my original idea ran deeper. Let us now dwell on
    the origins of Immortals. Where did they come from, who was
    the first, how do they breed? Someone with a good
    imagination might pull this out so, lend me your hears. I
    challenge you to write of Methos as the first Immortal. Not
    just the oldest, but the first. Yes. Moreover, he was born
    between 15000-12000 years ago in the city of Atlantis. To a
    good imagination, extrapolating on the society of Atlantis
    is a challenge. How he discovers this, how he realizes and
    remembers how Immortals came to be, how he and his friends
    react to these revelations, it is up to you. Please,
    include Duncan, Joe, and even Amanda and Connor MacLeod
    (and as many originals you want), make it rated R or less,
    and e-mail me saying if you are going to take this
    challenge. I would really like to see a story such as this.

E-mail address: demonmother@hotmail.com

Challenge:

    Buffy/Highlander-crossover.
    What if Buffy were to be faced with an evil immortal. Now I
    know there are some like that out there, but I would prefer
    it if there were no good immortals out there to help her,
    nor any of the Scooby gang that are immortal. Pre-immortal
    is fine, but no immortals.
    The gang is then forced to face this enemy that keeps
    coming back and they have no idea what an immortal is or
    how to deal with one. Buffy's Watcher council can be in no
    way connected to the Watchers from Highlander.
    They have to deal with the situation on their own.

Challenge:

    I believe it was Warren who blocked out the memory of killing his student, right? 

    What if something similar happened to Duncan after killing Richie? Instead of just blocking out Richie's death though, he blocked out EVERYTHING. Duncan wouldn't know what he was doing in Paris, where Tessa was, who Joe or the Watchers are and Methos... Methos is a myth, isn't he?




Name: JAMES Wednesday, October 4th 2000 - 10:59:33 PM
E-mail address: iamjamie316@gateway.net

Challenge:

    Ok this is my challenge. I would like read another ending to the to Archangel. I think it would be cool to see what happens if Ritchie doesn't die and Duncan does not take his head. It would be cool to see just what kind of ending u could come up with but make the story long and full of action and non stop head chopping. 

    Also what do u think would happen if Tessa awoke to immortality the same as Ritchie. 

    Please if u would, accept my challenge.

E-mail address: jvinsel@yahoo.com

Challenge:

    Purpose of immortals and the games they play,

    It was actually started as a betting pool between God and Lucifer.
    They created a bunch of immortals and they and the other
    angels, fallen or otherwise placed wagers on who would win.

    Why aren't all the immortals put on earth at the same time?
    Easy, it's like when you pick players in a draft, so many
    beings betting and picking the champions takes a long time.

    And the Gathering. That's when everyone has chosen.

    Could be an amusing story.
    See how Methos reacts after winning?

Challenge:

    I would love to see a story were Methos and/or Mac are
    assimilated by the Borg *from Star Trek* if they are just
    like the rest of the Borg or different... also how they got
    that way... the STV season 6 finale and season 7 first
    shows could be used... *some individual Borg are living in a
    dream world were they are normal people* I like DM/M slash
    but it does not have to occur... I hope there are HL and ST
    fans out there that would like to do this.. if not then
    *sigh* such is life... oh yes they have to have a happy
    ending.. I'm a sucker for happy endings!!!
    Thanx

Challenge:

    I'm a gay man who loves Slash. Slash has romanticism and eroticism than porn really lacks. Duncan and Methos's first time has been described in many ways and all their friends are most understanding, which is atypical. I'd like a story where the guys hesitate to come out as a couple, while their friends (subconsciously or not) do not acknowledge the tell-tale signs, or even when faced with truth.

Archivist's note: I have noticed a few RR/M series that have Duncan in severe denial...

Challenge:

    Okay here goes noting, I read through some of the other
    challenges and came across the B5 challenge by Mark Pacetti
    (7-26-00). I thought I might add to his challenge, juts a
    little. Hope you don't mind Mark! 

    Mark's Challenge: 

      I thought of this challenge while watching an episode of
      Babylon 5. On Babylon 5, Claudia Christian played the role
      of Commander Susan Ivanova, but, in the sixth season
      episode of Highlander "Two Of Hearts", she played an
      immortal called Katherine. The challenge is this: write a
      story where Ivanova is really Katherine in a new identity,
      and having everyone find out at some point. Have fun!!
      I thought "So what if Marcus Cole was Immortal long before
      B5?" Maybe he and Katherine knew each other back in the
      day. I would hope that Marcus become an Immortal in
      Medieval/Renaissance time frames. It would explain the
      chivalrous attitude.

Challenge:

    I was wondering if any of you Highlander/ Xena or Hercules fans had ever thought about writing a crossover. Not with any of the major Characters (ie. Duncan, Methos, Herc, Xena, Gabby, or Iolaus). I was thinking of Amanda and Autolicus(I know I didn't spell that right). Imagine the possibilities!

    Requirements:

    • Either team Amanda and Auto to steal something
    • Amanda/ Auto can work alone but going after the same thing
    • Can transport Amanda into the past
    • Bring Auto to the present/make him Immortal.

I hope this is enough to get your creative juices flowing.
Hope you have fun with it. Good Luck!

Challenge:

    Here's an interesting question, with all the strange events involving Immortals, why hasn't anyone tried to investigate and put all the pieces together? That's the idea behind this challenge. A Highlander/PSI Factor crossover. PSI Factor is a show concerning the exploits of a private organization called The Office Of Scientific Investigation and Research (O.S.I.R.), who investigate reports of strange phenomenon.

    What would happen if the O.S.I.R. came across the truth about Immortals during an investigation? Would they reveal the truth? Even when one of their team, Lindsay Donner, becomes Immortal herself?

    If anyone wants to give it a try, let me know. Have fun!!!

Challenge:

    HI. Being a fanfic writer with no time I have thousands of
    good ideas. I would love to see highlander fanfiction that
    puts importance on friendship. No slash pieces, please. Plus
    I would love to read some new crossover stories. Only I
    don't want to see the main characters from other shows as
    potential immortals. I think their characterizations are
    wonderful the way they are. Shows I recommend are Angel,
    X-Files, Charmed, or even something completely different.

    This is rather strange, but What if Julian Bashir of DS9
    was Methos. I think that it would make an interesting
    story. If someone chooses to write this story, please keep
    it R or less with no slash. Email me when it's posted so
    that I can come and read it.



Name: David Thursday, September 7th 2000 - 05:51:56 PM
E-mail address: _Highlander1_@excite.com

Challenge:

    Throughout the movies and the series the origin of immortals and the power that is gained from the Quickenings have only been touched lightly. This is the area of growth and imagination that is left for the story line. The movie jumbled everything up and did it too fast. I guess they wanted to retire Lambert since his age is showing through.  A. Paul redefined the character as being well schooled in almost every aspect that a man of any age can be and even explored. 

    My challenge is to b inventive and not far fetched
    with what is already there and take it to the next level
    without spitting it out. Suspense is the key as it was
    with the dark quickening. Some biblical hits were made in
    that well thought out episode which brings to mind that
    Methos is a gun that hasn't been used but only once. Great
    idea about the four horsemen but not well executed. Don't
    invent a new story but try to branch off of what was done.

    Last touch on this subject is there are two major differences
    between Highlander movie and tv and that is the handling
    of the beheadings after the fact. TV won the argument for
    the movie but consistency with the (facts) in this fictional
    story will keep it going since all of the critics that have
    reviewed the movie don't understand the movie, characters,
    and the following of the fans especially.

    Ahah! A crossover based purely on cannon: Star Trek: New Frontier and Highlander. If you love Trek, you need to have read this new series. A Starfleet character (Robin Lefler) has a mother who is immortal. She slits her wrists and they heal, and she's been alive since the 1600s, and therein ends elaboration upon her character. A great GREAT Xover opp.!

    Ooooooooh. I have a fear--a great fear that Highlander: End Game will spawn many a Mac Angst Fic. I plead with my fellow HL obsessives to avoid the dark and clichéd side of the Force. No 'that scene that never happened' fics, either.  Rather, I challenge someone to write a flashback fic where something from Mac's "dark" past comes to bite him. Past as in that convenient watcherless period between killing Kate and before Waterloo. Nice Methos possibilities.

Most of the story must take place in Star Trek time line. because the story takes place in the future, all the characters from the shows Buffy and Highlander that are not immortals or vampyres are now vampyres "of the chronicles type". and despite their "new" nature are still on the good side. the bad boys on the story are the Borg

    I had an interesting thought the other day, and thought I should share it here. It's quite Vague, very open-ended.
    If you read crossovers I'm sure that you've seen Crossovers between Highlander and Buffy. Usually these stories have Buffy, Willow, Xander, etc turning out to be an Immortal. 

    I've yet to find a story where Faith turns out to be Immortal. The scenarios this provides have a lot of
    potential for fun, don't you think?

    is evil and his friendship with MacLeod is nothing but a
    rouse to get MacLeod to kill off all the powerful Immortals

    no one can stand between him and the prize.

    Take a butchers at this. How about a Highlander/Lovejoy mysteries Crossover. 

    A mystery solving antique dealer of questionable morals and boundless wit sniffing around the 
    life of a former antique dealing immortal. Could have Lovejoy in Paris on the trail of some antique that some dead immortal had, say Darius. Lovejoy and Mac could be old rivals in the antique trade or old friends. Evil immortal of course makes some sort of dastardly clever appearance. The real trick would be to have Lovejoy come real close to discovering Mac's secret without it ever happening. Toss in the Watchers for good measure. They're not above nicking artifacts from dead immortals. Anyway I think it can be done.

Challenge:

    I would like to see a crossover between Higlander and the X-men.  I've had this idea in my head for months but I can't seem to write it myself.


    Zoe from Landau Lockman and Lake makes a screw up and a portal to the X-men universe ends up in the HL-universe.  An evil immortal of the HL-world ends up in the X-men universe. Zoe is then forced to ask MacLeod for help. Methos won't let him go alone on his own and comes along with the Highlander.
    It turns out that in this alternative universe a lot less immortals were born, but that those that were born were given some mutant abilities as well. Making them the Externals.


    Samuel Guthrie has to turn out an alternate version of Richie Ryan and Methos alternate has to En Sabah Nur aka Apocalypse.

    I would love to see a Cable-Methos-confrontation after the first one finds out about the connection.
    (Please keep Methos a good guy, I just want to confront him and Mac with what could have happened if Methos hadn't stopped his killing sprees after the Horsemen. Not to mention that weird as it may sound, being subordinate to Kronos actually kept Methos sane.)

    Please someone write this for me and I'd prefer if you kept it serious instead of turning it into a parody. I don't like those kind of things.

Challenge:

    This idea takes place in the same universe as shown in the
    three stories by Michael Weyer ("Today Is The First Day Of
    The Rest Of Eternity","Vengeance Never Dies","First Time
    Out"), which crosses over Highlander with the X-Files and
    Forever Knight. This story crosses all that with one more
    show, Law & Order.
    The Immortals Mulder and Scully go on a case to New York
    and meet up Det. Lennie Briscoe, Det. Eddie Green, Lt.
    Anita Van Buren, and ADA Abbie Carmichael. Carmichael
    turns out to be an immortal, and Briscoe and Van Buren know
    about her secret.
    During the investigation, Briscoe, Carmichael, and Van
    Buren reveal one more surprise to the FBI pair, an Irish
    Pub called "THE ENTERAL FLAME", which is owned and operated
    by a woman named Kat, who is a vampire. In fact, most of
    the employee's and customers are vampires, as well as
    immortals. Former ADA Claire Kincaide who is now a vampire
    (having been brought across by Kat following her auto
    accident) now works at the pub under a different name.
    Briscoe and Kat are long time friends and Kat often helps
    Briscoe during his investigations. Briscoe's former
    partner Rey Curtis found out about immortals and vampires,
    but agreed to keep it all secret.
    Det. Green does'nt know about any of this yet, but during
    the story he is going to find out
    Duncan, Amanda, Richie, or even Matt Connors could even get
    in on the act.
    This sounds like a real winner. If anyone takes up this
    challenge, please let me know.

Methos and/or Mac get sent to our universe how would they

switched?? That could be funny... or lastly what if Methos
and Mac when they got out of each others buzz range were to
get extremely sick or in pain or something... so they could
not go very far from each other... that could be fun too...

Jean-Luc Picard is now an Admiral. He then meets a shadowy
figure who we later find to be Methos. Picard in the course
of his duties discovers our immortal friends in old
federation pictures, records etc
he finds out that Methos is the mover behind the
federation, and runs starfleet intelligence etc (which
happens to use the old watcher symbol).
Confrontations abound, secrets come out (horseman, Methos's
single-handed role in creating the federation).
It should be interesting to see the interaction between
these two characters (please no slash), Picard's self-
riteous nature and the ruthlessness of Methos.

Dwarf/Highlander crossover? Like, what if Rimmer turns out
to be Immortal didn't really die in the radiation leak, and
has been living on some planetoid for the past 3 million
years? Of course, it would have to be a comedy!! :)

Challenge: Can anyone out there make a crossover with gundam W?! I've
seen a few on some gundam sites but they were never
finished. If no one even heard about this series its an
anime that cartoon network has just started showing. I
think it'll be interesting to have more crossovers with
this series (especially if someone makes Duo immortal! ^_^)
So pretty please! Make a crossover! ^_^
Also make more crossovers with anime! Anime is becoming
very popular so it makes sense for more people to write
about them. So far there's only a few crossovers with them
so someone who is a fan please write! ^_^

Challenge: I know there are already quite a few Buffy X-overs, but how about one staring Whistler, we know so little about this guy only that he does not smell Human and that he feels a need to do good for people and save mankind. So the Challenge is to have him as an immortal, with a story set somewhere between the time he finds Angel and the time he helps Buffy kill Acathla, storyline up to you...I like adult themes, but angsty could be good too, the choice is up to you, I just think Whistler is an under used Character in Buffy so why not use him in Highlander?!?

Challenge:

    Have Methos fight a very young (like younger than Richie) female immortal (she can be a hunter snob bitch monster from hell... but she more or less wins from cheating!!) And like I already said Methos loses (oh my poor baby!!!!) BUT he is 5000 to her mortal plus immi of like 20 so her mind is vaped zapped gone brain dead... loser... is dead... and my hero Methos' personality, mind, soul.. what makes Methos Methos is transferred into the female immortal.
    I do not want it to be strictly a comedy... it can be a little funny but I want plot of some kind and drama (come on people you guys are brilliant work with me here)
    I personality do not think Methos would be too happy... the body he had for 5000 is gone
    and he ain't gettin' it back.. (there can be some feeling of the special kind between Mac and Methos but no major sex thing) what can I say the though of f/m is just to weird after so much slash (LOL) Hey another thought what if this female had had a immortal boyfriend?? How would Methos deal??? or whatever.... JUST DO IT!!! Lisa

Challenge: Does anyone feel up to writing a story about Methos/Duncan set in Northern Ireland? 

Challenge here is to make it non-political. There's some amazing history to the country that transcends the modern view of the place. Its only a short trip on the ferry from Scotland (even shorter by Sea Cat!). Maybe Duncan could be visiting the Highlands and it gives Methos a chance to visit the grave of someone he once
dearly loved, allowing for a flashback. Flash back would be great set in the time of the Viking raids on Ireland, 800 BC I think, but authors prerogative here. Go on, you know you want to!

Challenge: Here is my second challenge (as you can tell, I have too
much free time, boy, I'm glad I'm starting a new job next
month!). How about a story of Methos fighting some enemies
while vacationing with Alexa? This time, Methos has no
help from any of his friends, he will have to beat his
enemies by his wits alone. How can he stay alive and keep
Alexa safe?

I'd like the characterization of Methos to be based on the
episodes involving the Horseman and the episode of
"Indescretions", where Methos is shown to be intelligent
and crafty and thoroughly capable of outwitting his enemies!

Good luck to you all!

Challenge: Hello, Fan Fiction Writers!

Of all the characters inhabiting the HL universe, Methos
has got to be the most mysterious one. A lot of writers
loved to write about how Methos changed from being "Death
on a Horse" to the modern day Methos we know now.

What if the present day Methos, somehow turned back into the Horseman? Can one imagine what kind of havoc he'd wreak upon this world? Duncan McLeod has to find a way to stop this evil Methos, but of course, Duncan is reluctant to take Methos' head because of their friendship. What will Duncan do? Will Duncan make the ultimate sacrifice to destroy Methos?


My challenge to all you talented writers out there, is to create this story and then write an ending resolving Duncan's dilemma.

I know you can all do it! Good luck to you all!

Challenge: I have two challenges.
1) I would like for someone to try to do a series of
stories about Watchers and how they deal with learning
about Immortals and Watchers. I would also like these
stories to be first person and collected by someone because
they are afraid that the watchers are going to be
dismantled from the inside.(what would happen if the
Watchers were ever discovered.) These would highlight the
good the bad and the ugly of the Watchers and their laws.
2) I would like a Stargate Highlander crossover where one
of the SG members, (Not necessarily SG-1) is a Watcher and
is confronted by Hammond et al, when everything about a
mission isn't adding up. How does he deal with being a
Watcher while in the SGC? Who does he report to and how in
a closed facility? Are his orders different than any
ordinary Street Watcher? The other rule is, they have to
discover the Immortal Homeworld. It is lifeless now but
still leaves them puzzling. The Trefoil must be on the
homeworld so that the SG teams will question the Watcher.
I am trying the same thing.

Challenge: Has anyone noticed that American TV bosses seem to like
killing off our favourite characters? First Richie, now the
incredibly cute half-demon Doyle from Angel!

My challenge is that someone write a x-over set after
'Archangel' and 'Hero'(Angel ep where Doyle died) that gets
both boys home and safe with the people who love them,
maybe with them slipping into each other's places...

I'm attempting one, but I'm a reader, not a writer, and I'd
love to see what someone could do with this.

Challenge: I am a Trekkie, and I know that there are Trekkie/ROG fans,
so I'd like to see a Highlander/Star Trek:TOS crossover. I
would also like to see a lot of the character of "Bones,"
since we have unfortunately lost De Kelley. Maybe, Methos
is found to be the only survivor of a lost colony from 200
years ago. Or he escapes from a Federation science lab
where he was the lab rat. Anything you want, just so that
it is mostly Methos and McCoy. PG-R, as long as there is
no slash...Methos is my love slave, nobody elses!

Challenge: I have had this idea for awhile, but alas I haven't the ability to do anything with it. What if a well-meaning but misguided immortal surgeon (doesn't have to be an immortal) ran an organ ring? What if he/she discovered immortals organs greatly improved the health of there recipient? One of our heroes somehow (I have an idea, but this will be your story) discovers what is happening to countless immortals. This sounds something like the hunters, but with a different moral twist. Any character you enjoy writing about is fine with me. I love Methos stories, but believe me I realize to is hard to write with a main character you don't prefer. So have a time with it, and if you want to contact me I have lots of ideas. I have tossed this story around so much I easily have a dozen takes. A romantic add-in would be nice, but again, this will be your story to do with what you please. Good luck and have fun!

Challenge: i would like to see the continuation of the "not to be" ep.
from the point of view of the parallel universe, what if DM
had never existed... (the fight with DM and M never really
happened so Methos is not dead)... I would love to see this
world continue on for a while longer ... those still alive
that we know of are Joe, Kronos, Methos, James H, Tessa...
but all the people Duncan killed may still be alive (ex
Kalas) I love Methos so he should be a main character but
big time no slash between him and Kronos (big bad no no *
LOL*) I think it would be a story about the ending of the
war between the immortals and the watchers (with Methos
killing Hortan of course) and maybe Methos becoming good
again??? please let it be smartly writen and long I just
loved Winterborne but it does not have to be that long!!!
kudos!!!

Challenge: In my town we've got this legend.
It's about Charlemangne, whom we call Keizer Karel and his
visit to Olen. (a little town in Belgium)
I think it would be a perfect story to fit Methos into. The
problem is that I'm not very good with comedy, so I would
like to challenge someone with a better sense of humor than
me to write it.

The original legend.
Charlemagne and his court are travelling through the area
close to Antwerps and they visit this little town called
Olen. It's a farmers-community.
He goes in this tavern and orders a beer.
The owner comes up to him and hands him his drink but he's
olding the ear in his right hand. Something that makes it
harder for the emperor to accept the beer.
After that Charlemagne orders him to make sure that the
next time he visits, the pot (kind of like a glas made in
metal but with an ear to hold on to) has to have two ears.
Time goes by and the emperor visits Olen again.
(supposedly 'cause the huntings really good in the area)
He orders another beer and this time the owner holds the
pot with both hands. Charlemagne again has trouble
accepting the beer and tells the man to make sure that the
next time the pot has three ears.
OK Some more time goes by and once again Charlemagne visits
Olen. He once again goes to that same tavern De Zwarte
Stier (or the Black Bull in English) and asks for a beer.
You'd think that since the pot now has three ears the
emperor should be able to easily accept his drink. But once
again the owner manages to ruin it by holding the third ear
pointed towards himself.
After that Charlemagne decided that enough was enough and
just left. Even now bigger versions of the three pots are
standing on the market right in front of town's hall(or
whatever the name for the place where the mayor works is)
and at least three cafe's around the square claim they own
the original pot.
Anyone think they can make something out of this?
Believe me the original legend is really funny, I just tell
it bad. And if you think this was stupid, you should hear
the ones about the time they decided to move the church by
pushing it or that other one about a cow that was sent up
the church to eat a bush away from the roof.

to write a sequal to their favorite story that is posted

it was not written by the original author. Respect the
characters and universe of the original author though, and
use them with permission.

Challenge: Okay, here's a long challenge. I recently had some ideas
wandering around my head for a story but I don't have
neither the time or the talent to write it so, maybe
someone out there might want to pick the idea up and write
the story. It requires some knowledge in greek mythology
and lots of imagination...
Here it goes: The Gods existed during the Ancient Greece
Time period and they still exist though they have been cast
down by the one and true God of the Christians. During the
time they ruled one Goddess decided to visit the mortal
world where she fell in love with one Immortal (our dearest
Methos, of course). He found out she was a Goddess sometime
during their relationship but that didn't matter. Anyway,
she had to left him (imagine a reason) and she didn't say
good-bye (bad, bad goddess). Millennia after, during our
days, she shows up again (imagine a reason - remember the
Gods are not as powerful now as they used to be in their
time - if you want ideas I have plenty of them) and...
well... can millennia of sorrow and pain and hearbrake be
cast out by eternal love? There must be flashbacks to
ancient Greece (good ones) and you have to put a little
action onto it (and in the end things must change... as I
said I have the ideas but not the talent to write). If you
wanna co-write the story with me or follow my ideas and
yours, contact me. If you think you have ideas of your own
to write a similar story, fo ahead. E-mail me telling
first, okay? Put Duncan and Joe there as well and if you
want, throw Richie in too (I like the red-headed kid). Pos -
Horsemen story. Any rating you want. Ahhhhh, here's the
thing I didn't tell before. I would really like the Goddess
to be... tchan... tchan... Athena, the mighty Goddess of
Wisdom and War ( I think it's war... I'm not as good at
mythology as I would like to be...). Thanks for enduring
this long message.

Challenge: Several challenges actually.
Highlander/Star Wars X-over. What would DM make of Ja Ja
Binks, (if that's how you write his name!), and the obvious
immortals/Jedi thing.
Highlander/Terry Pratchett's Discworld X-over, or just a
Highlander story in the style of Terry Pratchett.
Highlander/great classics X-overs. DM meets Oliver Twist
for example. Or DM involved in great SF - Asimov's
Foundation series might make a good background. Anything of
that nature.
Highlander/Babylon 5 X-over. What happens if an immortal
ends up in a shadow ship?
Highlander/He-Man X-over. This would have to be either a
joke or a children's story!

I'm quite happy for Richie and Tessa to be alive, and it
would be nice if it involved Charlie DeSalvo as well. I've
only ever seen some of the first and second season of HL,
(being a poor penniless student with no permanent access to
a TV, alas), so I'm fairly indifferent to such characters as
Methos and Cassandra and so on. I'm happy for them to be
included, but I'd rather have DM, RR and Tessa.

E-mail address: Calsun@hotmail.com
Challenge: O.k. this is a weird one. I'd like to see the following
things in the story.
1) X-Over with Star Trek DS9.
2) All characters from both shows play roles in the story.
For DS9 use Judzia Dax not Ezri Dax. And for Highlander
I'm one of those poor people who just can't deal with the
death of Richie so, he has to be there.
3) Methos is Julien Bashier. ( I told you it was weird )
4) The characters from DS9 have to find out who and what
Bashier really is.
5) Somthing bad happens to bring the major characters of the
stroy together in a fight or somthing. For instance Q
comes back and thinks it would be fun to resurect the
Horseman or something.
If anyone does do this challenge I would appriciate you
e-mailing me to let me know. Thanks and happy writing.
Oh and it might be kind of fun to have our resident theif
on Highlander to try to steal something on DS9 and get
caught by Odo only to be helped by the resident doctor who
happens to be the oldest living immortal and her friend.

Challenge: I have many ideas for challenges. The following can be all
in one story, or in many different, I don't care. 1.Adam
Pierson (as a teacher)/Buffy, but no one knows about his
real self until something big goes down,then Methos leaves-
but Buffy follows, leaving slayerettes confused. buffy
returns, knowing the truth. 2. Richie has survived and goes
to UCSunnydale, meets Buffy, gradually find out both
secrets, Richie stays and helps.3. La Femme
Nikkita/highlander crossover, preferably w/"Adam Pierson"
involved somehow. Add Birkoff too. 4. Star Wars/Methos
crossover. All of the above can be at any pt in time, and
with any rating above PG-13. Also, tell me if u do do
something about this!
