First We'll Take Manhattan


Every year, the amazing Wendy takeson the daunting task of herding authors, artists, betas and who knows what else, and the fruits of her labors is always an amazing collection of stories and artwork that blows the mind. Our thanks to Wendy for her efforts. We love participating in this challenge, and we absolutely adore the results!

This year's story was inspired by a song, which you can find here. It may or may not be about the fashion industry, but Leonard Cohen always added nuances and undercurrents to his words. That's why his poetry will go on forever.

We'd like to thank our artist, sandy79 for her artwork. She really came through for us, and the results are soooo beautiful. Go here to check it out and sing her praises.

We'd also like to thank jennylynneh for stepping up and beta-ing our messy story. Thank you for your help, even though all that studying still needs to be done.

Summary: Jensen is a fashion designer looking for a model to be the ‘face’ of his line. Enter Jared, an aspiring Broadway actor who hasn't ever modeled, but Jensen believes he's perfect for the part. Jared has no idea what he's getting into. There's glitz and drama. There's the excitement he craves, but there's also heartbreak and misery lurking just under the surface.

In the rush to get everything ready for fashion week, things get complicated. Jared joins Adrianne Palicki and Aisha Taylor, his other models, and Jensen, along with his staff, get busy putting outfits together for him.
