Master List of Prompts!
The rules for claiming:
1- You may claim one prompt, and there is only one writer to a prompt.
eta: 1a- If you haven't finished your prompt from last year and you wish to sign up to finish that, just reply to this post and tell me. You'll then be subject to the same rules as everyone else. And maybe you'll get your soul-bit back. ;)
2- The first person to post asking for a specific prompt will get that prompt. Comments will NOT be screened so it will all be visible. I will confirm your claim by replying to your comment so you know. (I have to work so don't worry if it's several hours before I reply. If you're first to comment, you WILL get that prompt.)
2a. I will strike out each prompt as it is claimed.
3- Initial claim period will run for two weeks, until August 14. You can start writing anytime after receiving confirmation that your claim has been accepted.
4- Any writer can enter the ficathon at any time and claim and write an unclaimed prompt, as long as you finish the story by the due date. (September 20 - 30.)
5- If--after the initial claim period has ended-- you get stuck and just cannot write your prompt, you may turn it in and ask for another, unclaimed, prompt. You can reply here to turn in an old prompt and choose a new one.
6- You may choose and write a second prompt if you wish and you've finished your first already.
7- If you just cannot complete your prompt and do not want to write at all, you can let me know--and forfeit your soul-bits--in this post.
Reminder to those who submitted prompts: it's up to the writer to interpret your prompt and go where their muse takes them. The story may not be exactly what you were thinking of when you submitted the prompt, but that's the chance you take in a ficathon. We all know that writing is never that organized and tame. ;)
Note: I had to sort of guess with some prompts as to where they fit in, as the person did not really specify. Single-character prompts were mostly put into the Gen category. If you really wanted something different done with your prompt, let me know, and if it is still unclaimed, I will correct it.
I recycled a few good unclaimed prompts from the last ficathon, especially in places where I felt we needed more choices.
eta2: Although I brought over a few prompts from last year, there's still a whole list of unclaimed prompts HERE. If you want to write and none of the new prompts do it for you, give these a try. It's all about getting more fic written. Just tell me your choice and that it's from the 2007 list.

25. Sam/Jack: Somehow, whenever he’d imagined the end of the world, it had always been bleak and dreary-and in black and white.

28. Sam & Jack: Jack dived head first through the event horizon right behind Carter, the concussion from the base’s auto-destruct following him through the wormhole. When the gate on the other side eventually spit him out, he flew through the air before landing in a heap on the hard ground. Carter knelt over him and even through his blurry vision, he could see the worry in her face. His head hurt like hell but he forced himself to concentrate and he could just make out her words over the ringing in his ears. “-not at the Alpha Site. The blast from the self-destruct must have redirected the wormhole.”

"Everything's dissolving, babe, according to plan
The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and my
moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand
I kissed you once. I kissed you again
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Do you feel what I feel, dear?
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me
Do you see what I see, dear?
The line the God throws down to you and me
Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear?
Is there someway out of here?"
(Abbatoir Blues- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
34. Sam/Jack.
"I am a father, a son and a restless spirit
I can see the light but I can never get near it
What good is my love song
If you ain’t around to hear it
I see the fighter planes tearing’ across the desert sky
Do I curse them or cheer them on?
I still can’t decide….
But the silence they leave behind
Sounds like what I feel inside…"
(Your Name on a Grain of Rice- Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers)
35.Sam/Jack.
"There was a time when I would lie and say I needed you
'Cause I didn't have nowhere else to go
Yeah, you go your way, I'll go mine
We'll get together, have ourselves a good time
There ain't no use, tryin' to squeeze blood from a stone
Oh, I will go on without you

We are all going forward. None of us are going back."
-Richard Silken, Snow and Dirty Rain from Crush
48. Cameron/Vala. "There ain't no guarantees, none of that nonsense like on tv, just gotta roll the dice, and take your lumps. You're gonna get yourself knocked down, so better learn to stand back up, for those who dwell on disaster let sorrow be their master."

Untold of happy lovers in old song.

Bound with the bandage of the arm that drips;
Knit in the welding of the rifle-thong.”
- Wilfred Owen, Apologia pro Poemate Meo

Water is heavy silver over stone's

River presses its heavy silver self
Down into stone and stone refuses.

Swirling and leaping into sun, is stone's
Refusal of the river, not the river."

Daniel still feels responsible, and finds a way to go back, possibly after privately arranging a tenuous deal with some other group/planet to provide aid in return for some kind of resources, possibly also digging the locator beacon out of his own body so that the SGC can't just beam him out. Jack finds out or figures out what he's done and goes after him.

187. Original team. Add an archeological team if you wish. Prefer Gen,no implied 'ships, but it's your call. A planet is about to be destroyed by natural disaster (you pick!).
The inhabitants have been evacuated and the team make one last trip back to document the ruins, which will be destroyed.
188. Original team. Prefer Gen, no implied 'ships, but it's your call.
A war has been raging for decades on a planet of no
military significance to Earth. One side is poised to wipeout the other utterly.
The SGC must decide whether to intervene and how to do so, if they do.
What does SG-1 do?
189. Original or new team. No character death apart from canon references. Gen, friendship only.
Baal's ships surround the Earth. He offers the IOC (and the President) a bargain. He will not attack,or interfere with the Earth's governance,in exchange for SG-1, a large yearly tribute,
and the promise of non-interference from the SGC and world governments.
Do they trust Baal and take the bargain, or do they try something else?

191. Team. "Cherry blossoms in the Spring, and starry skies in the Summer.

Someday you will understand how to taste it.
Then, we will enjoy it together."
-Hiko Seijuurou

"Well there were covert conditions surrounding our mission when we were called to go
And the powers that be summoned you and me to help prove what they think they know
Estamos borracheros y cancioneros, verified and tried and true
So Special Ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two
Well our final report, in code, five-letters-short was written out by hand
it was truthful, subversive, on purpose, in cursive, scribbled seaside in the sand
Well we made quite clear we volunteer to stay right where we are
Belay the extraction, we're missing in action, and F*U*B*A*R!"
(Wake up Call- Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers)

We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch."

212. Team (any). The team is caught in a "Quantum Leap" type effect, jumping to a new multiverse at random time intervals.
213. Team. SG1/Primeval crossover. Once, long ago, the Goa'uld had been on the recieving end.
214. Team. SG1/Primeval crossover. History repeats itself disturbingly often.
215. Team - Several years after the destruction of the Earth and the gate, the team has a happy moment. A celebration, a shopping trip to a deserted mall, whatever. Make apocafic cheery. :)
216. Team (season 10) - An accident puts the whole team out-of-phase forever with no way back. It's like their own apocalypse. Sam finds a way for them to survive and eat, but how do they live in a world when they can only touch and talk to each other? (Can be OT4 or multiple pairings if you wish, but not required.)
Reply to this post and claim by number or by copying the prompt.
1- You may claim one prompt, and there is only one writer to a prompt.
eta: 1a- If you haven't finished your prompt from last year and you wish to sign up to finish that, just reply to this post and tell me. You'll then be subject to the same rules as everyone else. And maybe you'll get your soul-bit back. ;)
2- The first person to post asking for a specific prompt will get that prompt. Comments will NOT be screened so it will all be visible. I will confirm your claim by replying to your comment so you know. (I have to work so don't worry if it's several hours before I reply. If you're first to comment, you WILL get that prompt.)
2a. I will strike out each prompt as it is claimed.
3- Initial claim period will run for two weeks, until August 14. You can start writing anytime after receiving confirmation that your claim has been accepted.
4- Any writer can enter the ficathon at any time and claim and write an unclaimed prompt, as long as you finish the story by the due date. (September 20 - 30.)
5- If--after the initial claim period has ended-- you get stuck and just cannot write your prompt, you may turn it in and ask for another, unclaimed, prompt. You can reply here to turn in an old prompt and choose a new one.
6- You may choose and write a second prompt if you wish and you've finished your first already.
7- If you just cannot complete your prompt and do not want to write at all, you can let me know--and forfeit your soul-bits--in this post.
Reminder to those who submitted prompts: it's up to the writer to interpret your prompt and go where their muse takes them. The story may not be exactly what you were thinking of when you submitted the prompt, but that's the chance you take in a ficathon. We all know that writing is never that organized and tame. ;)
Note: I had to sort of guess with some prompts as to where they fit in, as the person did not really specify. Single-character prompts were mostly put into the Gen category. If you really wanted something different done with your prompt, let me know, and if it is still unclaimed, I will correct it.
I recycled a few good unclaimed prompts from the last ficathon, especially in places where I felt we needed more choices.
eta2: Although I brought over a few prompts from last year, there's still a whole list of unclaimed prompts HERE. If you want to write and none of the new prompts do it for you, give these a try. It's all about getting more fic written. Just tell me your choice and that it's from the 2007 list.

25. Sam/Jack: Somehow, whenever he’d imagined the end of the world, it had always been bleak and dreary-and in black and white. So when the end finally came and Jack O’Neill found himself squinting up at the bright golden sun with his bare toes sinking into the warm white sand while the waves from the brilliant blue sea washed over his feet, you might say he was surprised.
26. Sam/Jack "I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it." -Albert Einstein
27. Sam/Jack. After all the years they'd worked together, Jack had never imagined that Sam would break so easily. But every human being had their limits, and Sam had reached hers.
28. Sam & Jack: Jack dived head first through the event horizon right behind Carter, the concussion from the base’s auto-destruct following him through the wormhole. When the gate on the other side eventually spit him out, he flew through the air before landing in a heap on the hard ground. Carter knelt over him and even through his blurry vision, he could see the worry in her face. His head hurt like hell but he forced himself to concentrate and he could just make out her words over the ringing in his ears. “-not at the Alpha Site. The blast from the self-destruct must have redirected the wormhole.”

"Everything's dissolving, babe, according to plan
The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and my
moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand
I kissed you once. I kissed you again
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Do you feel what I feel, dear?
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me
Do you see what I see, dear?
The line the God throws down to you and me
Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear?
Is there someway out of here?"
(Abbatoir Blues- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
34. Sam/Jack.
"I am a father, a son and a restless spirit
I can see the light but I can never get near it
What good is my love song
If you ain’t around to hear it
I see the fighter planes tearing’ across the desert sky
Do I curse them or cheer them on?
I still can’t decide….
But the silence they leave behind
Sounds like what I feel inside…"
(Your Name on a Grain of Rice- Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers)
35.Sam/Jack.
"There was a time when I would lie and say I needed you
'Cause I didn't have nowhere else to go

There ain't no use, tryin' to squeeze blood from a stone
Oh, I will go on without you

Untold of happy lovers in old song.
For love is not the binding of fair lips
With the soft silk of eyes that look and long,

Bound with the bandage of the arm that drips;
Knit in the welding of the rifle-thong.”
- Wilfred Owen, Apologia pro Poemate Meo

Water is heavy silver over stone's

Every crevice, every fault of the stone,
Every hollow. River does not run.
River presses its heavy silver self
Down into stone and stone refuses.
What runs,
Swirling and leaping into sun, is stone's
Refusal of the river, not the river."

Daniel still feels responsible, and finds a way to go back, possibly after privately arranging a tenuous deal with some other group/planet to provide aid in return for some kind of resources, possibly also digging the locator beacon out of his own body so that the SGC can't just beam him out. Jack finds out or figures out what he's done and goes after him.

TEAM (all are gen unless otherwise noted)

179. Season 6 team (Sam, Jack, Teal’c, Jonas). Stuck in a time dilation field.
180. Season 10 team (Sam, Vala, Teal’c, Daniel, Cam). "Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying."
- Bob Dylan, It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
181. Jack; Team:
A winters day
In a deep and dark december;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.-Paul Simon
182. Season 9/10 team. Keep going. If you’re not dead, it can get better.
183. Team, from John Crowley's Ægypt "There's more than one History of the World,"
184. Team. Alternate timelines sucked. Alternate realities sucked. But this alternate timeline in an alternate reality really, really sucked.
185. Team. There wasn't much else left to save, but Sam was still out there, somewhere.
186. Team. It was cliche to say it was a dark and stormy night. But flashes of lightning lit the boiling clouds as wind and rain washed the blood from the streets, slowly erasing the horrors of the day.

A war has been raging for decades on a planet of no

The SGC must decide whether to intervene and how to do so, if they do.
What does SG-1 do?
189. Original or new team. No character death apart from canon references. Gen, friendship only.
Baal's ships surround the Earth. He offers the IOC (and the President) a bargain. He will not attack,or interfere with the Earth's governance,in exchange for SG-1, a large yearly tribute,
and the promise of non-interference from the SGC and world governments.
Do they trust Baal and take the bargain, or do they try something else?

191. Team. "Cherry blossoms in the Spring, and starry skies in the Summer.
The Autumn brings the full moon. The Winter brings the snow.

then there is something wrong inside of you.
Someday you will understand how to taste it.
Then, we will enjoy it together."
-Hiko Seijuurou

"Well there were covert conditions surrounding our mission when we were called to go
And the powers that be summoned you and me to help prove what they think they know
Estamos borracheros y cancioneros, verified and tried and true
So Special Ops issued us flip flops, a guitar and a week or two
Well our final report, in code, five-letters-short was written out by hand
it was truthful, subversive, on purpose, in cursive, scribbled seaside in the sand
Well we made quite clear we volunteer to stay right where we are
Belay the extraction, we're missing in action, and F*U*B*A*R!"
(Wake up Call- Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers)

And left all this behind us in the dust,

And a life no one could touch."

214. Team. SG1/Primeval crossover. History repeats itself disturbingly often.
215. Team - Several years after the destruction of the Earth and the gate, the team has a happy moment. A celebration, a shopping trip to a deserted mall, whatever. Make apocafic cheery. :)
216. Team (season 10) - An accident puts the whole team out-of-phase forever with no way back. It's like their own apocalypse. Sam finds a way for them to survive and eat, but how do they live in a world when they can only touch and talk to each other? (Can be OT4 or multiple pairings if you wish, but not required.)
