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.

Title: Thumping, Screeching, Prowling
Author: Tazmy (

sgatazmy )

Challenges: haunt/scare
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Pairing: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay (but easily read as strong friendship if one prefers)
Wordcount: 1890 words

Warnings: use of restraints, non-consensual drug use

Summary:

There is a thumping under Rodney's bed and a screeching in his closet. There is someone—something—prowling in his room. Though he is not a child, the bogeyman has returned to feast on his soul.

He knows he is being silly. His life signs detector picks up nothing. He's just tired—overworked and stressed. He needs to sleep.

That's the ticket!

In communing with nature and the season, with the cooler weather and everywhere you look ghosts and goblins are starting to pop up, we thought it would be an amazing time to bring forth appropriate prompts for the next few weeks. So knowing that, welcome to "haunt" and/or "scare" for the next four weeks!

The great thing is, not only do these prompts fit with the season, but they also can slide in to any other challenge you might be doing this spooky Halloween season. Maybe Jeannie Miller has some sort of haunting premonition about her brother Rodney who's stuck all the way in another galaxy? Maybe there's another mission to walk into a bug cave and the thought of it scares John because he knows how those things think now.

But you could totally take it another direction. Maybe Elizabeth finds herself back on Earth, in a life so perfect that she's almost scared to ask what's going on (could it be alien influence? Who knows - you tell the story!). Or maybe it's as simple as Evan Lorne showing Ronon around his old haunts in San Francisco.

Whatever the case may be - and whatever you decide to do to the characters - you've got until the first weekend in November to get it written down and posted.

Boo!
