Thought that was a good solution

Title: Cha Cha
Author: Piratelf
Rating: G
Fandom: Gilmore Girls
Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls. Or Dean Forester. Which means he is safe - for the moment.
Beta: Nadnewraid
Author's Notes: This is in the same universe as Harmony, but was inspired by the cha cha talk scene from 1.11 'Paris Is Burning'

SOOKIE: Aha. How long have you been dating?
LORELAI: Why?
SOOKIE: Two months you've been seeing him right?
LORELAI: Point Sookie?
SOOKIE: Mmm. Just right on schedule that's all.
LORELAI: I have no idea what you're talking about.
SOOKIE: This is about the time you start doing you little getaway dance. Two months right on the nose - you're good.
LORELAI: I do not do a dance.
SOOKIE: You're cha-cha-cha-ing right now.

Summary: What she was really looking for was someone who wouldn't let her get away. But it takes a very special, very insightful, very patient man to cha cha with Lorelai Gilmore.

Of course she ran.

The second monthly challenge at lorelai_decaf is Alternate Universes. You can interpret this prompt any way you wish, from placing canon characters in a whole other universe to changing a single event in canon.

(And yes, I know this community isn't exactly active, but I'm going to keep posting challenges anyway.)

As always, any genre, rating and pairing (other than Luke/Lorelai) is allowed.

All entries in the challenge should be tagged with your username, characters and pairings, medium ("fic," "icons," etc.), and the challenge tag: "challenge: alternate universe."

The challenge will run until the end of the month, however, you should feel free to post challenge response fics at any time.

Title: The Pursuit Of Lorelai

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay

The very first challenge at lorelai_decaf is Crossovers.

Any fandom, any genre, any rating. All Lorelai-centric pairings are welcome (crossover or otherwise), as are Lorelai-centric genfics. Additional pairings are allowed.

All entries in the challenge should be tagged with your username, characters and pairings, "crossover," additional fandom, medium ("fic," "icons," etc.), and the challenge tag: "challenge: crossover." (Don't worry if it seems like a lot of tags; if you miss some, we'll happily fix it up.)

The challenge will run until the end of the month. If there are enough challenge entries, voting may be held and banners awarded.

It can be difficult to find non-Luke/Lorelai, Lorelai-centric fic. Which is, of course, why this community exists. Here are a few to get you started:

Finn/Lorelai

A pet pairing of mine. Who needs canon when you have cute accents?

Crossovers

I love well-written crossovers. There aren't a lot of crossovers in the Gilmore Girls fandom, but here are a couple I really enjoyed.

Title: In The Key Of Major Finn (Gilmore Girls/BtVS)

Title: Outskirts Of Normal (Gilmore Girls/Supernatural)

Rating: R
Summary: He looks like Dean and tastes like sin and all Lorelai knows is that she's out of her mind.

Welcome to lorelai_decaf! If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, this is the place for them. I don't expect a huge amount of activity here, given that Luke/Lorelai is definitely the dominant pairing in Gilmore Girls fandom, but hopefully it'll become a place where people can find quality non-Luke/Lorelai fic, art, etc.

At this stage, I'm planning on running monthly challenges to encourage activity. If you have ideas for challenges, if you'd like to make some shiny graphics for the community, or if you'd like to volunteer or share anything else, go right ahead. And, as always, pimping is greatly appreciated, because there can never be too much Gilmore Girls.
