Weeks #501-504: "whisper" and/or "scream" is a go!

I tried to pick something that would be intriguing - but I've got this song from the 1980s that has been blaring in my head all day.  So instead of having something more intimate, more thoughtful, you're going to get prompts from a song that I listened to in high school.

But when you think about it, "whisper" and/or "scream" can be really, really interesting as prompts.  It can be Rodney's whisper of "I love you" that floats in the air as John falls asleep that finally gives him a good night's rest, or maybe Ronon thinks about his previpus life with Amelia and how the whisper of her memory brings him comfort.  Or it could be the scream of anguish from Parrish when Lorne is captured.  Maybe Ronon offers himself up as sacrifice to the Wraith, and the scream Melena yells is so startling that that they're able to escape.

Think about it.  Your favorite character(s), one of these prompts - as Martha says, "It's a good thing."

And, GO!

Weeks #479-482: "kiss" and/or "heart" is open!

In honor of [community profile] romancingmcshep  and Romancing SGA festivals that are getting underway, we're going to offer a couple of prompts that should help move those fanworks along.  Because of the romance part of these fests, we've chosen to leave you with "kiss" and/or "heart" for the next two weeks.  What you do with them is your choice!  It can be all romantic, like someone sharing a first kiss, or feeling their heart beat in their chest when they meet that certain someone - or it can be the opposite, like a mobster AU where someone is given "the kiss of death" or maybe someone takes off their shirt, revealing a Wraith scar over their heart.

You can write your own, or pair it with either festival.  Whatever you choose, you have until the first Saturday in March to get it done!

weeks #340-344: "rights" and/or "massage" is open!

Here we are in July, with half the year gone (and in the US, even more gone lately). I decided a two-fer for July, one that has somewhat of a political slant (though your work doesn't have to be political in nature), and one that is just fun. For the next few weeks, there's a prompt for "right"/"rights", which you can do quite a bit with. Or, if you're feeling it, you can go for "massage", because July has International Massage Week.

So for the next month, think about what you'd like to write. Maybe John and Rodney got married in Canada before they had that "right" here in the United States. Maybe Cadman is leading a bunch of new Marines, and they end up taking a right instead of a left - and get caught in the crossfire. Or maybe you just want to write something fluffy where Elizabeth decides to cut loose by agreeing to a massage by Mike Branton.

Whatever the case, and whatever you'd like to use to create something of your own, you've got a few weeks to run with it! Enjoy!
