weeks #393-397: "moon"/"landing" is coming to a close!

[squidgiepdx]

We've had a string of good luck as the last few weeks' prompts seem to have stuck the landing, as they say.

::waits for chuckles from the audience over the bad pun::

There were quite a few entries, and somehow I actually managed two fills myself! One of them is just complete and utter nonsense (hotpants Stackhouse made me do it!) so read that one at your own risk.

Here's a roundup of the fills we had:

brumeier  gave us The Sun Loves the Moon
cassiope25  gave us Moonlight Serenade
goddess47  gave us Temporarily Stranded
melagan  gave us It's All Cadman's Fault and Moon Base Four
squidgiepdx  gave us Under the Moon and Stars and Come Find Me
wonkyelk  gave us Fly-fishing for Astrophysicists and One moonlit night

A new prompt is coming up!  If you're working on something for this challenge, you have until Sunday evening August 6th (or later if you ping me) to post you work.

Weeks #398-401: "money"/"store" is open!

[squidgiepdx]

Here we go! Weeks #398-401 challenge with the prompts "money" and/or "store" is open for business!

One of the things that people on Atlantis don't have to deal with is money.  Sure, it's accumulating in their bank accounts back home on Earth, but they've really no need for it on Atlantis - so what do they do with it?  And when they rotate back to Earth, either permanently or on leave, what do they splurge on?  

The other thing not truly found on Atlantis is stores.  Sure, there's a commissary - but that's just for food.  There's no real store in the retail sense of the word on the planet.  There's plenty of planets with sooqs/outdoor markets, but it's not the same as, say walking into Best Buy or 7-11.  But of course store can also mean to stash something away.  Maybe Rodney shows up in John's quarters and John has to quickly store away the sex toy that he'd brought back from his last trip from Earth.  Or maybe the day DADT was repealed, Markham and Stackhouse rotated back to Earth to go to a pride parade, and then stumbled back through the Stargate in full rainbow paraphernalia (well, Markham.  Stackhouse was probably just wearing a rainbow thong, the imp!).

Whatever the case, you've got the next four weeks to come up with fills for money and/or store.  And....GO!

Summary:
"You found me!" Rodney's voice found its way through the depth of the night to John's ear.

John kept his distance, not wanting to invade Rodney's personal space. It wasn't for nothing that Rodney searched out the privacy of Atlantis' pier in the middle of the night, the full moon the sole, quiet companion for his thoughtful mood.
