SGA Saturday

Look at that - actually inspired by an SGA episode. Okay, not puzzle, but echo because Season 3, Episode 12 was called "Echoes".  So you can take these prompts any way you'd like.  Maybe John likes to do puzzles in his downtime, and one of the puzzles he does gives him a clue about Rodney or Elizabeth or Carson. Maybe two adjacent crossword clues are "kiss" and "her" (John/Elizabeth) or maybe the clues reveal "love" and "you" and "always"?  As for echo or echoes, you have a couple different ways of tackling something.  First, you could write how Ronon likes to track people by listening to the echo of their footfalls in the hallway. Or maybe Lorne is trapped on a planet, freaks out, and screams so loud that he's sure his voice is echoing off the walls of his prison.  

But there's another way to take this, and that's after the Echoes episode itself! Maybe you write a little scene that's missing from Echoes - John and Rodney in the infirmary because of busted eardrums. Or maybe because of said busted eardrum, Rodney's muttering too loud and people can finally understand his usual under-breath mumblings.

However you'd like to approach it, you've got five weeks this time.  And don't forget to leave or take a prompt in our ongoing promptfest!

With everyone posting challenges and such for the 3weeks4dreamwidth festivities, we'd like to join in!  To do so, we're running a prompt drop and fill fest from now until mid May. Basically how the CommentFic community works, but only for Stargate Atlantis (and crossovers, as long as SGA is the primary focus, either in a multi-fandom crossover OR an AU of some kind).

If you're not familiar with prompt drop and fill fest, it's where you leave a fandom - which will of course be SGA - plus a pairing or characters or "ANY", and then a prompt of some kind.  Feel free to leave as many prompts as you want as comments to this post, and then you or someone else can come in behind you and fill that prompt.

The fest will go from today until May 15th, 2026. All prompts and prompt fills should be within this post (unless you end up filling a prompt for this month's prompts and want to post it afterward as an official fill for that challenge as well!).

Sound good? Let's go!

So it's time to wrap up our adventures in Reading and/or History, and we've had a couple of submissions - so thank you to the wonderfully creative people who submitted works!

brumeier  gave us The Past Reconfigured
melagan  gave us Printed on Your Skin
sgatazmy  gave us Heard You Kissed

If you're working on something around "reading" and/or "history", then you're in luck 'cause even though the challenge is ending, I know a guy who'll help you out. Just ping me and I'm sure he'll let you on the list. Otherwise, wrap up what you're writing and submit it by Sunday evening to get officially counted in the festivities. Otherwise, it'll have to wait for another prompt or for amnesty at the end of the year.

A new prompt coming soon!

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":

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!

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!)
