SGA Saturday

I tried to pick something that would be intriguing - but I've got this song from the 1980s that has been blaring in my head all day.  So instead of having something more intimate, more thoughtful, you're going to get prompts from a song that I listened to in high school.

But when you think about it, "whisper" and/or "scream" can be really, really interesting as prompts.  It can be Rodney's whisper of "I love you" that floats in the air as John falls asleep that finally gives him a good night's rest, or maybe Ronon thinks about his previpus life with Amelia and how the whisper of her memory brings him comfort.  Or it could be the scream of anguish from Parrish when Lorne is captured.  Maybe Ronon offers himself up as sacrifice to the Wraith, and the scream Melena yells is so startling that that they're able to escape.

Think about it.  Your favorite character(s), one of these prompts - as Martha says, "It's a good thing."

And, GO!

Yes, I'm a day later than normal. But in my defense, I'm a bit tired, have an ear infection, and am possibly hosting a hangover. Or at least I think that's why my brain feels funny. Anyway, thank you to our three amazing authors for providing us with these fills!

brumeier  gave us  Bottled Poetry
goddess47  gave us Planning for the Winter Solstice Celebration
melagan  gave us Hold Onto Your Horses

If you are still working on something for "horse" and/or "wine", you've got until tonight to get it posted here to the collection. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for amnesty at the end of the year. Meanwhile, a new prompt is coming soon!

We've had some really amazing fics for the last few weeks for "spring" and/or "loss", and if you haven't read them, you should. Even if they make you cry (I'm looking at you, brumeier! ::grin::)  And thank you to melagan for also making me cry but in a good way 'cause it was for Claire. 

brumeier  has brought us The Inevitability of Spring
goddess47  has brought us To the Last Drop
melagan  has brought us A Spring in His Step
wideeyedloner  brought us chance has shut her shining eyes
wonkyelk  has brought us the loss equation

If you're working on a fic for these prompts, you have until Sunday evening to get it posted - or to let me know it's coming. Otherwise it'll have to wait for amnesty.

New prompt coming up!

The first Saturday is here, and that means that these prompts are rapidly coming to a close. Even though there are only a couple entries as I write this, I know of at least two works that will be posted a bit late. And if you're working on something for "limit" and/or "medic" but aren't quite done yet, just let me know. Otherwise, you have until tomorrow, Sunday evening, to post it to the community.

brumeier  brought us The Moonless Midnight

melagan  brought us Coffee Flavored Kisses

squidgiepdx  brought us At Noon in the Mess

wonkyelk  brought us Not Without Limit

A new prompt is coming soon, so buckle up!

Come one, come all, and post those stories using "bounty" and/or "card" before Sunday evening if you've got something in process. The time to post is drawing near, and even closer is a new prompt to get us through February.

goddess47  gave us The Bookmark
melagan  gave us In the Cards
squidgiepdx  gave us Check It Out - A Citrus Hill Moment
wonkyelk  gave us A Pirate's Life

New prompts coming up!

Kinda combining two different themes here, for our last prompt-fest of the calendar year.  Yes, November's prompts will be the last before we go full open on amnesty for the last month.  So here we go!

The prompts this time are symbolic in a way.  The first prompt is end - and it can be interpreted however you wish.  Maybe it's the end of Atlantis's time as a military outpost because they're transitioning to be a full-fledged, self-sufficient colony and people are having to decide if they want to stay on or go.  Maybe it's someone's last night being single - the end of their single life before they get married.  Or maybe it's just someone, say John Sheppard, watching Rodney McKay bending over and getting distracted from Rodney's rear-end.  Or maybe it's an AU where Elizabeth, the efficiency expert, is brought in to close down an inefficient office, only to find herself intrigued by the handsome Steven Caldwell.

And then we come to the prompt "Gather", which can be a few things like Lorne gathering his team for movie-night, or Rodney dragging soemone along to his sister Jeannie's house for a family gathering.  Or maybe Parrish is off-world and comes across the most striking blue flowers and gathers a few to make Lorne some paint.

Whatever the case, and whatever the character and/or pairing, your challenge for the next few weeks is to use "end" and/or "gather" in a fic and post it here. 

And, GO!

It's time for a new prompt, and perhaps these one will inspire the muse.  Your prompts for the next four weeks are "music" and/or "block".  Maybe Lorne is the unofficial Atlantis DJ when it comes to parties and whenever Sheppard and McKay get close to each other, he switches up the music for a solid block of slow dancing.  Or maybe Ronon got a taste of Earth music and walks around Atlantis humming something far too catchy.  Maybe Rodney ends up playing a piano that someone snuck across the galaxy to bring him, or maybe there's an attempted invasion and Atlantis has to block their gate from being overrun by invaders.  

Whatever the case, you've got four weeks to work with the prompts.  Good luck!

It's been a few weeks, and we're coming down to the last few hours for posting. Meetings and/or Fall was pretty good for us! Check it out!

brumeier  gave us Falling For You
goddess47  gave us Working Around the System
squidgiepdx  gave us A Blanket Fort in Iowa
wonkyelk  gave us a long cold fall to warm again and a series of meetings

If you're working on something, you have until Sunday evening, September 8th to post it - unless you need a bit of time. And if you do, just let me know.

Meanwhile, new prompt coming soon!

A huge thank you to everyone for contributing to this past few week's prompts of "wrath" and "heat". But those heat prompts during a scorching hot summer here in the Northern Hemisphere? Whoa!

brumeier gave us Bipartisan Pressure
sgatazmy gave us Unlikely Sympathies
wonkyelk gave us Written in the Cards and A Puzzingly Comfortable Temperature

If you're working on a fill for either "wrath" or "heat", you've got a little bit of time left. Typically you can get it in by tonight, but if you need an extension, just let me know - I know a guy.

In the meantime, new prompt coming soon!
