Sid's Closet

First, go and read Beautiful Certainty, which jdjunkie wrote for me using the prompt: Jack/Daniel/Sara, water under the bridge. No, it isn't a three-way! It's a quiet gem that made me all misty, like.

Second, a ficlet I wrote for jdjunkie's recent (okay, a month ago) Four Seasons in One 'Thon. The season is Winter. ~740 words, rated PG

( It was a dark and stormy night )

Dates: April 24-27
Place: jdjunkie's DW
Optional theme: the four seasons. Thursday = spring, Friday = summer, Saturday = fall/autumn, Sunday = winter.
What you need to do: show up and have fun with the boys! Write something, make art or icons or a fanmix or vid, excerpt/link to favorite stories/art/vids, or just squee over whatever goodies turn up!

Friendship is as welcome as slash. Everything's no-pressure, low-key.

Here's an additional request from jdjunkie: I would love if everyone (writers or non-writers) could pen a few words on what you love about Jack/Daniel (or Jack and Daniel!) and what drew you to them, kept you there etc. It doesn't have to be a thesis, although, yes, I'd LOVE THAT!! And no-one will be marking your essay or taking apart your thoughts. Just ... jump in and let us all know. We take it for granted that we love them, but we rarely talk about why. And you all know I'm a nosy junkie. ;-) It would make me very happy if folk had a go. :-)

Prompting has begun! You can submit your prompts up until 14:00 GMT Sunday 26 January 2014, here on LJ or here on DW. All the instructions are available at those links.

My prompts are here!

So close. I've got the form all filled out. Except for my Two Requirements for the story I'll receive. *head/desk* And Optional Request, but that's...optional. *g*



How about the rest of you? Signups are on either DW or LJ, until September 2nd. You'll receive your assignment September 4th, and your 1,000 word minimum stories will be due on October 14th.

The more the merrier, and the more Jack/Daniel for us all to read!!!

Ten unconnected drabbles written for the jd_ficathon Prompt-a-Thon, which is running through the end of the month. The list of prompts is here. There's still time to pick a prompt or two!

A big thank you to Beth (lolmac) for the title suggestions! I grabbed a bunch of them, and was inspired by others. *smooches*

Anyone can prompt! You don't have to be a writer, or a writer who plans to participate. Go! Inspire!

And if you do want to write, lunabee34's Extravaganza is live, and for the J/D prompt-a-thon you can begin writing any prompt that speaks to you, since there is no claiming, and multiple responses are welcomed. :-)

fignewton/sg_fignewton still has some letters of the alphabet that need to be claimed for the Gen Fic Day soup pot!

For this fifteenth Soup, we will again have an ensemble cast: any character who is an ally of the SGC, whether onworld or offworld, and is not the subject of a previous Alphabet Soup. That means you can write about the Tok'ra or the Jaffa, but don't focus on Jacob or Bra'tac; similarly, you can write about Kelowna/Langara, but don't feature Jonas Quinn. It does mean you can write about any canon ally, from the people at the Land of Light to the Ancients, who have helped the SGC in any way. You may also use original characters within the context of canon - for example, using the POV of the dialogue-less black woman among the Tollan in Enigma, or creating an ADC for Chekov.

By making a claim, you are committing yourself to writing at least 100 words of gen fic by February 18th.

Fic can be posted to LJ or DW, but the sign-up sheet is on LJ.
