In more fanfic contest news…I would be in deep, deep trouble if I didn’t share this contest with you. The main reason being, my betas are “large and in charge” in this one! Haha. (Sorry my wonderful betas…but I had to tell them. 
) That being said, I highly recommend you enter this one – it’s more Eric and Sookie centric than most!
Whether you are a girl who likes a bump and grind on the dance floor, sings into your hairbrush or imagines a slow dance with a tall blond sex god, this is the contest for you! Any song will do as long as it inspires you to write, you can’t get much more ‘Free Bird’ than that can you? Join us, we want to ‘Teach the World to Sing’ (well the SVM fandom anyway
“Do Me” “Feel Like Makin Love” “Pillow Talk” “Love to Love You Baby” “Freak Me” “I Want to Sex You Up” themes encouraged but not required. (These are perfect songs for the perfect couple, Eric and Sookie.)
If you have the urge to write some Pam and Eric snark; “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away”, “Papa Don’t Preach” or any other non-romantic pairing with Eric then ‘Have the time of your life’.
Your Host is: Northwoman (Anne)
