Stargate Group Event Ficathon Sign Up
Aug. 17th, 2006 04:28 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
brainofckIn my opinion, there is not enough team smut out there. And I know I'm not the only one. Plus Atlantis seems to just beg for group stories.
So this is a writing event to increase the quantity of Group Event/OT3+ stories out there.
Dates:
Signups start now and end on September 5.
Assignments will be mailed by September 15.
Stories will be due on November 5.
I plan to post a masterlist and I encourage everyone to post to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
stargateslash, sg1_beyond_otp, and any other appropriate fora.
Based on feedback from various people, I suggest two options to participate – one for the externally motivated, and a second for the self-motivated.
Option 1: The Idea Exchange Format (for the externally motivated)
This is where you say what you want, and then accept a writing assignment in return.
Stargate is a big universe. I'd like this to be open to all groupings of three or more characters. Last year,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wisdomeagle had people make two requests, to make it easier to match writers with story requests. I'd like to do that again.
Each of your two requests should include a prompt as the basis for the story. Settings, episodes, objects, quotes, situations and genre are all good prompts. In addition, make a couple of suggestions of things you would like the writer to include, if they can figure out how. Also, please note any restrictions you would like the writer to honor – no rape, no death, no Sam-bashing – that kind of thing.
I also need to know what characters you can and can't write, and what types of stories you can and can't write. So if you won't write gender swap or kink or mpreg or f/f/f or het content or whatever, please let me know. I personally don't watch Atlantis and couldn't possibly write it. If you have problems like that with certain characters, please so state.
That said, please remember what you're getting into. Plan to be as flexible as you possibly can.
Sign up by replying to this post with the information requested in the forms below. On September 5, I will begin matching writers with requests. I hope to be able to send out assignments no later than September 15. (Unfortunately, RL issues caused it to take me about a week to write these signup rules, so deadlines may be fungible.) You should plan to select one of the two requests in your assignment and write a story of at least 1000 words by November 5. Special hugs and kisses if you write both! :D
I need the following information in your reply to this post:

If you sign up, but then find you cannot participate, please let me know as soon as possible.
On November 5, please post a link to your story in response to this post. I will use the links posted to create the master list.
Option 2: The Self-Motivated Format
Perhaps you are the type of person who doesn't respond well to external motivation. A prompt from someone else just scares the brain cells into silence. But you really want to write your most recent OT3 bunny and share with the group.
So Option 2 participants please respond to this post as follows:
Grouping: Commit to what group you are going to write and so state.
Story idea: Give us a 2 sentence mini-description of your story.
As this is a self-motivated format, I think it is only fair that you should be able to remain flexible. No penalties if the story grows in an unexpected direction between the date of commitment and the date of posting. So long as it's a Stargate OT3+, it'll be kosher.
I see the self-motivated people as using the ficathon format as inspiration to get that story down in electrons and posted, dang it! :)
Because of the nature of this format, I will include your story in the master list if you notify me of your wish to include it no later than November 5.
On November 5, please post your link in a response to this post for inclusion in the master list.
Thanks for writing! I can hardly wait!

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters would prefer? I'm pretty flexible at least with most of the main characters...Daniel, Jack, Cameron, Sam, Sheppard, Beckett, Ronon, Vala, not quite as strong with McKay or Teal'c...will take a stab at minor characters...almost any groupings or pairings...though I prefer not to do strictly femme-slash.
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? Um...I think my verbose response to the previous question rather covers that...
What other restrictions should I know about? I like a challenge...bring it on...
Can you write backup? Possibly...usually...
Request 1:
Grouping: Sam/Cameron/Daniel
A required prompt or category: Mission gone bad turns into kinky stress relief
A special request: Daniel in charge
A second special request: leather pants
Restrictions (please limit to three): None
Request 2:
Grouping: Daniel/Cameron/Jack
A required prompt or category: Episode: Ripple Effect
A special request: Two Daniels and a Cameron and a Jack take refuge from the deluge of doubles in the same place
A second special request: did I mention the two Daniels?
Restrictions (please limit to three): Um...as long as there are two Daniels, I'm a happy, happy girl.

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters would you prefer to write? Anything SG-1, through Season 8. Any characters, any combination.
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? Can't write Atlantis.
What other restrictions should I know about? No bloodplay, no misogyny.
Can you write backup? Yes.
Request 1:
Grouping: Jack/Daniel/Sam
A required prompt or category: First time, any rating, emphasis on motivation and characterization.
A special request: Smart!Jack
A second special request: Use of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and chain of command angst.
Restrictions (please limit to three): Can't think of any. Would prefer no character death, but hey. Writers should write what they want.
Request 2
I have a serious jones for Paul Davis. I would love a fic utilizing him; any pairing, any rating, het, slash, any amount of angst or polyamory, although I do have a preference for happy endings.
(Thanks so much for doing this. I will cheerfully accept an assignment, or if there's an odd number of participants to match up, will produce a fic of my own under your other set of rules.)

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters would prefer? I'd prefer SG-1 m/f/f
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? I've written pretty much everything, so I wouldn't count anything out. Atlantis is a little iffier than SG-1, but I think I could manage just about any SG-1 prompt thrown at me. :D
What other restrictions should I know about? I have never tried mpreg, so no promises on what that would turn out like. So... avoid mpreg. :D
Can you write backup? Yes, most definitely
Request 1:
Grouping: Sam/Vala/Weir
A required prompt or category: During Elizabeth's brief stay on Earth in Season 3/10, Vala schemes to bring Sam and Elizabeth together.
A special request: Not just a PWP. Give it SOME story.
A second special request: Sam and Elizabeth teaming up on Vala.
Restrictions (please limit to three): Go crazy.
Request 2:
Grouping: Sam/Janet/Teal'c
A required prompt or category: Early series, still kind of dancing around one another. Not the close-knit family we've gotten used to (I do love the SG-1 family, but I'm itching for some old school stuff!)
A special request: First time, please!
A second special request: I want Walter to be in the story somewhere. He doesn't have to be present, but... Walter needs some love, too! Maybe Daniel/Walter (kidding!)? ;-D
Restrictions (please limit to three): Go nuts. :D

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters would prefer? - I'd prefer m/m/f. I write Sam the best for females.
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? - I'd have problems with f/f/f. I'd rather not write Janet. I don't have a good grasp on her.
What other restrictions should I know about? None.
Can you write backup? No.
Request 1:
Grouping: Sam/Jack/Daniel
A required prompt or category: First time.
A special request: A developing relationship on Earth, not stranded off-world.
A second special request:
Restrictions (please limit to three): No Sam bashing, obviously. That's about it.

Grouping: Sam/Daniel/Rodney (sg1/sga)
A required prompt or category: Camping
A special request: Rodney burning dinner and losing his sleeping bag. ;)
A second special request:
Restrictions (please limit to three): None. Go for it.

Date: 2006-08-29 04:22 pm (UTC)Also, I wanted to let you know that based on some of the interested parties mentioning possible threesome writing for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], I made a post mentioning this ficathon as a possibility for OT3+ fic.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-29 05:43 pm (UTC)Grouping: Jack/Daniel/Daniel
Story idea: Ripple Effect missing scene -- Jack came to town to get together with Daniel for a weekend getaway, but a base emergency keeps Daniel from being able to leave. A conversation with another Daniel gives him an idea for making things up to Jack

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters would prefer? prefer m/m/m or m/m/f or m/f or m/m. I can write McKay, Sheppard, Zelenka, Daniel, Jack, Paul Davis, some other minor characters. If needed, I can do darkfic if necessary. Don't think much of Weir or Teyla, but could be persuaded for Sam Carter/Vala/other minor female character.
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? Cant do f/f/m
What other restrictions should I know about? No deathfics.
Can you write backup?Yes. Just please give me a weeks' notice.

Grouping:McKay/Jackson/O'Neill
A required prompt or category: Rodney takes a trip to earth
A special request:Jack watches Rodney and Daniel
A second special request:
Restrictions (please limit to three):Please no plot lines past end seas. 1 for SGA...haven't gotten that far. Or past Seas 9 for SG1
Request 2:
Grouping:Rodney/Sheppard
A required prompt or category: Seduction of John Sheppard by Rodney
A special request: Rodney doesnt let on it's him that is seducing Sheppard
A second special request: Lots of 'romance' like chocolates, poems, flowers (if there are flowers' in atlantis) or the little things John would appreciate
Restrictions (please limit to three): Again, please no spoilers past end of seas. 1

Date: 2006-09-04 12:49 am (UTC)That means I have to sign up!
I'm gonna go with option two, if that's OK. I had a bad experience with a ficathon by getting assigned a pairing I knew nothing about when I told the person that I didn't know about them. I know you wouldn't do that, but I'm so new to this fandom, I thought it would just be easier on me and you. *bites fingernails*
Two ideas:
Grouping: Jack/Daniel/Sam
Story idea(OMG, I have to summarize!): The team is captured by a group of women hellbent on repopulating their village.
Teal'c is there too, so I haven't decided if I'm going to include him and make it an OT4 or not. I just don't feel that I have a handle on him yet.
Grouping: Jack/Daniel/Sam
Story idea: Jack feels that he has to make amends when an away mission goes wrong, with Sam and Daniel getting hurt in the process.
Hope this is what you wanted. Thanks so much for doing this. It'll be great.

What groupings, kinds of groupings, or characters? I lean toward SG1 vs. SGA, because that's where my knowledge lies, but I can write most of the prominent SGA charaters.
What groupings or kinds of groupings can you not write? Almost anything, as long as it focuses on prominent characters. I'm better at SG1.
What other restrictions should I know about? I'd say character death, pregnancy, severe schmoopiness
Can you write backup? Sure.
Request 1:
Grouping: Vala/Sam/Daniel
A required prompt or category: piracy!
A special request: some girl!smut would be nice :)
A second special request: cute animals
Restrictions (please limit to three): character death, pregnancy, severe schmoopiness
Request 2:
Grouping: Classic team (J/S/D/T)
A required prompt or category: We're friendly people, and we get along well, but really, nobody else can know what we've seen.
A special request: snow
A second special request: please try to properly include Teal'c?
Restrictions (please limit to three): character death, pregnancy, severe schmoopiness

Date: 2006-09-06 01:34 am (UTC)I'll be going for Option 2, I believe.
Grouping: Sam/Jack/Daniel
Story Idea: Well...I've got several that are just waiting to be finished. Not gonna commit to one of them tonight, cause I'd probably just be lying anyway and switch it later.
The choices (all S/J/D), however, are:
1. Time Loop. What really happened, why, and what happened next. NC-17.
2. Strength in Numbers. Off-world, first time. Odd, to be honest. Non-major character death. Strong Sam. NC-17.
3. Aliens-Made-Em-Do-It. Classic. Off-world. First time. NC-17, mais oui.
4. Daniel Gets Pushy. Thinks Jack isn't doing so well, living loveless by himself. First time. NC-17.
5. Daniel and Sam have been screwing in Jack's bed. It's probably time he talked to them about it. First time (well, not for S and D...). NC-17.
6. Tollans scan Jack's head, in the course of trade negotiations and put the contents on the Nice Big Screen right there overhead. Effing Tollans. NC-17.
Actually, come to think of it, I've got a few more than that, even. There's the matriarchy one, where Sam's in charge and Daniel tells the natives that Jack is the junior male, mostly to shut him up during the negotiations. Then there's...God...stop me now. I really need to get some stuff finished, obviously.
