Welcome to March, where we celebrate Women's History Month, National Reading Month, and International Women's Day on the 8th. There's so much to celebrate this month, that we thought we'd try combining some of this month's activities into prompts - reading and/or history. Maybe combine them, like having John watch Rodney fall asleep reading a scientific journal. Or maybe Lorne brings back a book on the history of botany because, "It looked interesting" - when in reality he misses falling asleep next to Parrish, who used to ease Lorne out of the stress of the day by talking about botanicals in the 1800s. Or maybe we go campy, over the top and have Stackhouse reading the entire expedition to filth (a primer on the best Drag Race reading challenges can be found at this link).

Whatever you choose to do, you've got four weeks to get some ideas on paper and just go for it!

Shantay you stay!

Well, we all knew February into March was going to be busy what with all the Valentines Day themed events going on. So far we've only had one entry for the last prompt of "dinner" and/or "date":

melagan gave us Dinner Date

If you're working on a fic for these prompts, you've got until tomorrow night, Sunday March 8th, to be included in the roundup (or an extra few days if you let me know). Otherwise it'll have to come under another prompt or wait for amnesty this December.

New prompt coming soon!

Since we are in the midst of Romancing McShep, Romancing SG-1, and Romancing SGA, I figured a little prompting that is around date nights might be in order. For the next four weeks, you can deal with "dinner" and/or "movie" and maybe tie an SGA story together with one of the accompanying fests. Dinner? Movie? I think this is something Colonel Slinky Hips could get behind.

So you've got 4 weeks for this challenge, though the fests end in 3 weeks. You get to figure out how SGA folks get to celebrate. And, GO!

We had some wonderful fills for our "tea" and/or "cup" prompts!

brumeier gave us Steeped in Remembrance

goddess47 gave us Working on a Vague Idea

melagan gave us Uncharted Road

A new prompt is coming up soon. Meanwhile, don't forget that this comm will be busy hosting our usual prompts, but also the Romancing SGA Fest 2026, while companion Romancing McShep Fest 2026 and Romancing SG-1 Fest 2026 will be held in their respective communities.

So whatever you do - consider the prompts and fests you want to undertake, and run with it! And if you're still working on a fill for "tea" and/or "cup", you have until Sunday evening to post it - or just ping me and I'll grant you a short extension to get things wrapped up.

New prompt coming soon (but groceries first!)

Sometimes trying to come up with prompts is definitely a challenge in and of itself. But this morning, all I got on the brain is my cup of tea to start my day. So why not try and make a thing of it, huh?

Coffee is what makes Atlantis run, but what happens when they run out of coffee? Is Tea something that you think Rodney McKay would drink? I mean, if he's out of coffee and wanted some sort of caffeinated boost in the morning, tea is pretty much it. They wouldn't have energy drinks out in Pegasus. And cup? Well, cup can mean so many different things. Sure, you can write an AU where single dad Caldwell is trying to make a cake for his birthday kiddo and needs to borrow a cup of sugar from their prickly neighbor, Ambassador Weir. Or you could go the other way around. John Sheppard watches as Rodney goes to grab a cup to get something to drink only to accidentally break it - so John learns ceramics from the Athosians and makes Rodney a new cup. Or maybe it's a stolen moment together where Carson cups Cadman's cheek before kissing her - or Lorne drinks a cup of liquid courage before he asks Parrish out on a date.

For the next FIVE weeks, you've got "cup" and/or "tea" to try and put something together for the prompt.

And...GO!

That right, friends! Amnesty is almost over - but it's cool, we were all too busy to get anything written, and I totally get that. The Winter holiday keeps us all busy and that's all cool.

But, if you're working on something that you consider amnesty, you can still log it as long as it's done before Sunday evening, January 4th. Otherwise, it'll have to wait or be worked into another prompt.

Speaking of new prompts, one coming up soon!

squidgiepdx

That's right, it's amnesty time!

For the four weeks of December, we're letting you run as free as you'd like to be. You can run wild and go with any prompts that are in the archive - no holds barred. But if you want to make it extra interesting because maybe you had something you started for a previous challenge this year but didn't quite get it finished? Guess what! You can submit it this month without issue.

So you have four weeks to go with anything from the Tags section. Or, if you choose, you can just choose from the last 12 months. Those would be:

"bounty" and/or "card"
"kiss" and/or "heart"
"limit" and/or "medic"
"spring" and/or "loss"
"horse" and/or "wine"
"century" and/or "theory"
"whisper" and/or "scream"
"wait" and/or "survive"
"grand" and/or "storm"
"haunt" and/or "scare"
"office" and/or "visit"

Whatever your choice is the one you're supposed to make. Enjoy your month, and get creative if the mood strikes!

The last few weeks has given us some really good fics! If you haven't read them, you should because SGA authors are amazing!

brumeier gave us The Dreamcaster Is In

melagan gave us The Further Exploits of Agent Lorne: Quantum Mirror Cop

trillingstar gave us Gift Kitten's Mouth

With this prompt's closing, there will be another prompt coming up. But if you're still working on something for this set of prompts, not all hope is lost. If you finish it by Sunday (tomorrow) evening, then I'll add it to the roundup. But we have amnesty coming up - which means if you need it, you have another few weeks!

See what I did there? ::grin::

Welcome to weeks #518-522, where we'll be creating all kinds of fanworks for the prompts "office" and/or "visit." Why yes, I went to the doctor recently, why do you ask?

You can use the prompts separately - like maybe an AU where Atlantis Tech is a scientific company in a businesspark where Rodney works, and John is a corporate spy, coming in to steal their secrets when he gets thwarted by the talkative head of sciences. Or maybe Lorne, having given up his dream of being a pilot for whatever reason, goes to visit a friend who introduces him to Air Force pilot David Parrish, who offers to take him up sometime. Or maybe it's the worlds most dysfunctional office building where Dr. Jennifer Keller is making eyes at Ronon Dex across the parking lot, only to be thwarted by her very out and very gay assistants Markham and Stackhouse.

Whatever the case, think about where you could go with "office" and/or "visit" and see where it takes you.

We had some great fills for the last few weeks, so thank you to everyone who filled our "haunt" and/or "scare" prompts! So much to read!!!

brumeier gave us Walk in Darkness

goddess47 gave us A FootHold Situation

lucy_roman gave us How to Explain Halloween

mific gave us Scared and THree Scary Drabbles

sgatazmy gave us Thumping, Screeching, Prowling

A new prompt will be coming soon! Meanwhile, if you're delayed for some reason in posting for this period — like you'd love to finish your story but you're having to fight off zombies or something — it's cool. Just let me know, and you can scoot in past the deadline - which is Sunday, November 2nd.
