Have you signed up to write some friendship fic yet?
Just four days left to claim a prompt for the friendship ficathon at sg1friendathon! I am so happy to see such enthusiastic beginnings - we've got 25 people signed up already! Is our fandom awesome or what?
I find writing trends so fascinating. When we last did this in 2008, I was very taken aback that Jack and Daniel friendship wasn't claimed at all (although happily, Magistrate did one prompt for the Frenzy). This year, Jack and Daniel friendship prompts went first - in fact, there were more Daniel friendship prompts claimed this time than any other. Interesting, that.
Now, any casual reader of this journal is well aware that I am a shameless Daniel fangirl :) and that I vastly prefer classic team to new team. And I am definitely happy in anticipating all the wonderful friendship fic that we'll be reading about my favorite archeologist and my favorite version of teamy goodness. Still, I think the newer team members deserve a little (gen) love, don't you? So if you're a Cam fan or a Vala fan, I do urge you to wander over to the sign-up post (on LJ only, so there won't be accidental multiple claims) and choose a Cam and Teal'c prompt. Or a Sam and Vala prompt. Or Cam and Sam, or Vala or Teal'c, or... well, you get the idea. :)
Mind you, if you choose a classic team prompt, I'll be pretty pleased with that, too...
Go. Find a prompt that sparks your imagination. And write!
(And many, many thanks to all you lovely people who have boosted the signal on this. It's very much appreciated.)
