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!

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!

Weeks #497-500: "century" and/or "theory" is open!

[squidgiepdx]

In celebration of the community being around for 500 weeks, we're gonna lean into it.  This means that for the next four weeks, we're going to ask you to think about the prompts "century" and/or "theory" and get a story written about one or both of the prompts, some artwork created, or a podfic with data that qualifies.  

Century can be just about anything - literal or figurative.  Like maybe an SGA team goes to a planet that Athosians have said they have not been to in over a century.  Or maybe it's Rodney McKay coming up with a theoretical Ancient-influenced device that the SGA says will not be released for a hundred years.  Or maybe it's just someone waiting for a radio callback, and it feels like it's been 100 years since the team has checked in.

Then we have theory - and you know who has opinions about theory?  McKay, Katie Brown, David Parrish, Zelenka, and the rest of the scientific community on Atlantis.  Hell, maybe it's a rumor about some of the Marines that one of the scientists turns into a theory - that they need to prove themselves.

Whatever the case may be - If it's about "century" and/or "theory", you've got four weeks to get it created and posted to the community.

And....GO!

FIC: Bottled Poetry

[brumeier]

Title: Bottled Poetry
Author: brumeier
Challenge(s): horse/wine
Fandom(s): Stargate Atlantis
Pairing(s): John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Jeannie Miller/Kaleb Miller
Wordcount: 8,937
Warning(s): mostly some fluff with mentions of past family dysfunction

Summary: Rodney didn’t know why he kept letting Jeannie talk him into these things - a blind date that spans several days and two countries, in a location without wifi or cell service, seems doomed to fail. But maybe the location, the unusual amount of downtime, and a handsome winemaker will turn things around.
