We've got a wonderful, varied list of prompts. We thank everyone who submitted them! Some have been slightly edited in format for the sake of smoother reading.
The prompts are listed by team member, in alphabetical order (of sorts). Prompts that spoil or refer to Season Ten or Ark of Truth are listed at the bottom.
Please remember that once you have released your prompt into the wild, it is at the mercy of the claimant. :) You can't influence or protest the way the author will choose to interpret and write your prompt... unless, of course, you choose to claim your own prompt and write it yourself!
Claiming a prompt.
Claim a prompt by replying to this post. The prompts have been numbered, so you may claim a prompt either by its number or by cutting and pasting the prompt into your comment.
Prompts are claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a prompt has been claimed, another person cannot claim the same prompt. Claimed prompts will be confirmed by a reply comment and struck out by the mods on the master prompt list. If it takes a few hours, don't worry; comments aren't screened, so others can see that you've already claimed your prompt. As long as you're first to claim it, you'll get it.
The initial claims period will run for one week, until April 8. During that week, each person may claim one prompt only. You may start writing your story as soon as you've claimed your prompt.
After April 8, any unclaimed prompts may still be claimed - either by someone who has already completed their first prompt and wishes to do another, or by someone who has not yet joined the ficathon. Also, if you are having trouble with your ficathon story and would prefer to exchange your prompt for another, you may comment here to turn in your original prompt and claim a new one.
All participants of the ficathon must give us a working e-mail address. Comment at
this screened post and leave us your e-mail. We must be able to get in touch with you!
Stories are due on June 2. If, for some reason, you find that you cannot finish your story in time, let the mods know. You can e-mail us at
sg1friendathon@gmail.com or leave a comment at the screened e-mail post.
If you're willing to be a backup writer, whether or not you are writing your own story for the ficathon, comment at the
screened e-mail post with your e-mail address and what kind of stories you'd be willing to pinch-hit for us (classic team only, new team only, pre-series only, nothing to do with Jaffa, nothing to do with the NID).
Please spread the word to your flists and send us lots of good writers just like you! :)
