Seven Days of Summer 2017: Sign Ups
Seven Days of Summer 2017: Sign Ups
It’s that time of year again!! We’re taking sign ups for this years Seven Days of Summer. I’m putting out the challenge like I did for Spring Fling. There are 1015 Characters in the Sylum Wiki Blog – take out the ones you know have major storyline or wrapped into major arcs etc… that still leaves about 815 Characters that have no stories written on them. These characters are all over fandom, and they spread across history – so its a pretty good guess there are a few of you who could tackle story and/or art for these characters.
The main writers of Sylum have a lot on their plates mapping major arcs and stories. We can’t tackle a majority of characters in other Clans. So I’m callin’ y’all out. Take up the challenge – sign up for Seven Days. Browse the wiki, find someone you’re interested in.

Sylum Inspiration: Jack Harkness
Sanctuary: Hunter
Very little is known about Jack.
He was born in England, hints have been dropped that it was in or around London.
He joined the Army during World War 2. His service record disappeared, so no one was sure what unit he was in or how he ended up behind enemy lines. (Dilios Note: Rumors and theories … both of which I hate speculating on … point towards him working as a spy – I’ve not yet had this confirmed and Shadow isn’t returning my phone calls)
Spike ran into him while he was fighting a group of Rogues, he was impressed that Jack was holding own against them. Once Jack finished off the last Rogue, with a flourish of his sword, he turned on Spike.
He still wasn’t sure how he ended up Turned and Mated.
New Fic: Dragon Hunt by Bj Jones
Title: Dragon Hunt
Author: Bj Jones
Rating: R
Summary: Harold, I’m compromised. Get Out.
Creative Consultant: Timothy Quinn
Disclaimer: Don’t own anything – people with more lawyers than they need – do.
Author’s Note: I haven’t written a piece of fanfiction outside the Sylum Universe in about 4 years. POI pulled me back into fandom … ish. And in typical fashion – it’s not just one story but the beginning of a series. So yes do expect more stories in time. It will actually be a nice change from Vampires.
2nd Author’s Note: This is set a few months after Dragon Mate’s Club
Beta: Janet

Reminder: Guest Archive – Closing May 1st
Reminder: Guest Archive Closing
The Sylum Guest Archive will be Closing on April 30th.
To Clarify this isn’t the Sylum Archive! Repeat this isn’t the Sylum Archive!
So you can stop flailing 🙂
This is the Guest Archive where authors uploaded their personal fanfic stories.
None of these stories are Sylum related.
Authors: If you have stories posted please make sure you have copies or download them off the Archive before the 30th.
Readers: If you have favorite stories that you want to keep, make sure you download copies before the 30th.
I’m sorry to state that since E-Fiction is an older program and not supported, there is no easy way to download the stories. Basically you’ll have to copy/paste.
On May 1st it will be gone.
Note: I’ll be moving my stories over to the blog over the next few months, I’ll make an announcement when the stories have been moved.
